HISTORY OF VAN WERT COUNTY
David O. Davis, Sr., came to this country with his parents when eight years of age. In 1864. he and his wife moved from Jackson County, Ohio, to Van Wert County, where he purchased the farm which his son now owns. Here the father spent the remainder of his life engaged in farming, passing away in 1895. His widow still resides on the family home- stead with her son.
David O. Davis, the subject of this sketch, has always lived in the locality where he was born, being educated in the schools of Wash- ington township. He has never been married and is a member of the Horeb Welsh Calvan- istic Church.
--- RANK HOFFMANN,* one of the suc- cessful agriculturists of Washington township, residing on his farm of 60 acres located in section 11, was born near his present home August 15, 1851, and is a son of Henry and Mary Hoffmann.
Henry Hoffmann and wife were both na- tives of Hanover, Germany. They came to America in 1846 and were married in Glandorf, Putnam County, Ohio, afterward removing to Van Wert County. Mr. Hoffmann worked on the Miami and Erie Canal; then bought 40 acres of land and settled in Washington town- ship. He continued to purchase more land, and at the time of his death in 1867, was the owner of about 200 acres of land. Mrs. Hoff- mann died in 1890, leaving three children- Mathias, who lives in Arkansas; and David and Frank, both residents of Washington township.
Frank Hoffmann, the subject of this sketch, was reared and educated in Washington town- ship, and has always given his attention to agricultural pursuits. His farm of 60 acres
was given him by his father and is in excellent condition ; in 1896 he erected his present resi- dence, which is a large brick house of six rooms. On October 9. 1873. Mr. Hoffmann was married to Mary Friemoth, a daughter of John Conrad and Gertrude Friemoth. both na- tives of Germany. They have no children. Religiously they are Catholics. being members of the Church of St. John the Evangelist at Delphos. Mr. Hoffmann is a member of St. Joseph's Society.
C HEODORE WROCKLAGE, JR ..* a son of one of the original settlers at Delphos, and a nephew of the town's founder, was born January 28, 1854, in Delphos, Ohio, in the house which is still his home. His father, Theodore Wrocklage, was born in Prussia, Germany, and was a son of Christian Mathias and Mary Elizabeth (Gerde- man) Wrocklage, both natives of Germany, who died at Delphos, Ohio, in 1846, one year after their arrival in this country. Of their two children, Mary Elizabeth was born August 28. 1819, in Germany, and came to America with her brother Theodore when she was 17 years of age. She was married in February, 1836, to Ferdinand Bredeick, who later became the founder of the town of Delphos. Theo- dore Wrocklage came to America in 1836 and in 1841 located on the Auglaize River in Put- nam County, Ohio, with his brother-in-law, Ferdinand Bredeick, and the latter's family. When the present route of the Miami and Erie Canal was decided upon, the Bredeick family and Theodore Wrocklage located on the pres- ent site of Delphos in 1842. In 1845 in part- nership with Bernard Esch, he established a potash and pearl-ash factory, which firm was later succeeded by that of Wrocklage & Stall-

AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS.
kamp. Esch & Wrocklage also conducted one of the first general stores in the village. Thereafter until his death Theodore Wrocklage was very prominently identified with the af- fairs of the town. In 1846 he entered land in section 31. Marion township, Allen County, Ohio. He was one of the incorporators of the Ohio Wheel Company, founded at Toledo in 1868 and incorporated October 20, 1871, the works being removed to Delphos the following year. In 1872 he assisted in the organization of the Union Flouring Mill Company, which later became the Eagle Mills. He was one of the founders of the First National Bank of Del- phos, incorporated February 16, 1863. Twenty years later the bank was reorganized as the Delphos National Bank, with Mr. Wrocklage as its president. He was also one of the first board of directors of the Fidelity Fire Insur- ance Company of Delphos, which was organ- ized in August. 1875. He was elected council-
man of the village at the election in 1851 that followed the incorporation of the village on February 7th of that year. For many years thereafter he served as councilman although not continuously.
After leaving school Theodore Wrocklage, Jr., at once engaged in business at Delphos, as- sociating himself with the lines of trade and manufacture with which his father was inti- mately connected. The Wrocklage interests, including those of Theodore Wrocklage, Jr., and the Wrocklage estate. are principally lo- cated in Allen County and are of large import- ance.
On January 10, 1900, Mr. Wrocklage was married to Rose Fetzer, a daughter of Jacob and Louise ( Kelbley) Fetzer, of Seneca Coun- ty. Ohio. To this union was born a child, Theodore, July 12, 1904. Mr. Wrocklage has visited quite a few sections of the United States and has also made one trip to Europe.
