EMANUEL FLECK is a native of Tuscarawas County,
Ohio, and in his twenty-second year, in 1855, came to LaPorte, Ind., and
learned the carpenter's trade. In November, 1856, he returned to Ohio,
with $152, and purchsed carpenter's tools. February 19,1857, he married
Miss Savillah Fisher, came to Indiana March 27, 1865, and bought a farm
in Clay Township, on which was an old water-power saw-mill. He used this
mill until October, 1866, when he built a new one on the same site. In
1870, he built a grist-mill, but the water proving insufficient, he put
in an engine in 1871, and built a new circular saw-mill. He is the owner
of the "Model Mills", known as Fleck's Mill, with a saw-mill containing
planing, joining and edging machines. He also owns the right of a patent
hay-rack, for Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and all territory west of the
Mississippi River, and is one of the inventors of a patent buggy-top attachment.*
His farm is well improved, and a new frame residence has just been completed.
He introduced the cultivation of German prunes in the county, and is the
inventor of a fruit-tree protector. The spring of 1867, he was elected
Justice of the Peace, and held the office eight years; served as Trustee,
and was re-elected in 1878. The following children were born in Tuscarawas
County, Ohio; Henrietta, born April 30, 1858, died in March, 1880; Laura
Ann, May 28, 1859; George Washington, August 4, 1860; Amanda Jane, October
