Emigated to the United States in 1849. Lived in Pittsburgh, PA at the corner of
Chestnut and Ohio Streets (Dutch Town Section of Pittsburgh) before moving to
Ohio. Franz wanted to move west as he did not like to work in the mills of
Pittsburgh. On November 12, 1853 Franz and Margareth Muth bought a farm of 40
acres from Nathan and Elsa Hollister for $250. This farm was located on Rado
Ridge, Stock Township in Nobel County, Ohio. This property was very near the
farm of Jacob and Magdalene Singer. Franz and Margareth sold this farm to Peter
Noll in 1869 for $400. This farm is near Fulda, Ohio. This is an interesting
point because Langenlieber, Germany is a few miles east of Fulda, Germany. Most
of the German people living in and near Fulda, Ohio, were supposed to have come
from the area around Fulda, Germany. We know for a fact that Franz Muth was one
of these early settlers. On April 20, 1869, Franz and Margareth bought a farm
of 80 acres from Barbara Macy, William Smithberger and J. Rease for the price
of $1700. In 1872 Franz Muth bought 106 acres adjacent to the farm on Pawpaw
Creek from a Lyman Wood for the sum of $2500. Recorded in Volume 19, page 302,
Noble County records, Caldwell, Ohio. In 1886 Franz Muth bought an additional
40 acres from Valentine Baker for the sum of $650. This would have made the
farm 226 acresEmigated to the United States in 1849. Lived in Pittsburgh, PA at the corner of Chestnut and Ohio Streets (Dutch Town Section of Pittsburgh) before moving to Ohio.
