    GEORGE LICHTY.

    Go to the old Lichty homestead on a pleasant day and you will invariably find this veteran of pioneer days moving about outside. He is now in the seventy-ninth year of his age and is yet physically strong, but has also retired from active farm work. He is of Swiss extraction, his grandparents having emigrated from Switzerland to Pennsylvania some time prior to 1760 He was the first of a family of ten children, first seeing the light on May 10, 1819. He has always worked on the farm and it is likely that he will end his days on the farm where he has labored so many years. He was married in 1811 and is the father of five children. His son in-law, Henry M. Martin, who was married to the daughter Nancy, lives in an adjoining portion of the old homestead and has charge of the farm. The subject of this sketch came to this section from Pennsylvania with his parents in 1822, they being among the first families to settle here. The present farm contains 182 acres and is in a fine state of cultivation. Mr. Martin the son-in-law, is a son of the late Henry Martin, who was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, February 16, 1794, and died June 8, 1853. Selina, the daughter of the former, is married to Ephraim Betzner, who also lives at the old homestead, all live in harmony and peace together, each one doing his or her share towards making the work on a large farm an easy task, a feature not always the case where three families are domiciled beneath one roof. The old gentleman says he has used tobacco since he was twenty-one years of age, but has been temperate so far as alcobolic stimulants are concerned. Adjoining the Lichty estate is the fine farm of Solomon Koch.
