Edward Albert Leininger. It is not so remarkable that men who have inherited valuable farms prefer to devote themselves to agriculture, but when a man spends his best years in farming and works with the end in view of investing his savings in land on which he can make a permanent home for his family, then he deserves the highest praise, for there is no calling in which more need is felt for intelligent, dependable men than that which has to do with the tilling of the soil and the production of foodstuffs. One of the men who has been connected with the agricultural life of Fulton county for many years and who within recent ones acquired ownership of a fine farm of eighty acres of land in Franklin Township is Edward Albert Leininger
.
The birth of Edward Albert Leininger took place in Henry county, Ohio, on January 30, 1888, and he is a son of W. A. and Catherine (Brodbeck) Leininger. Until he was seventeen yars old Mr. Leininger attended the rural schools of Henry county during the winter months and in the summer season assisted his father in operating the homestead. After he left school he worked for his father until he obtained his majority. For the year subsequent to his coming of age Mr. Leininger worked with threshing outfit and baled hay and then took charge of the Bailey Hay Farm and conducted it until 1918, when he purchased his present farm, on which he is now carrying on general farming. Although property was an improved one when he bought it, Mr. Leininger has made a number of changes, and is contemplating others, for he takes a pride in having everything in first-class order and his premises show that a good manager and excellent farmer is in charge.
In 1910 Mr. Leininger was united marriage with Carrie Letherman, daughter of Jonas and Elizabeth (Althouse) Letherman. Mr. and Mrs. Leininger became the parents of three children, all of whom are living namely: Jonas, born May 22, 1911; Pearl, born July 17, im1915, and Lodema, born May 23, 1917. A man of independent thought and action, Mr. Leininger makes his own selection of candidates for whom to cast his ballot and does not definitely connect himself with any party. The local Lutheran Church holds his membership and benefits from his donations. Entering upon his career with nothing but his willingness to work and a natural aptitude for farming, Mr. Leininger has distinctely made good in his undertaking, and at the same time he has won the respect of his neighbors for his sturdy traits of character and his interest in township improvement.
