  16. ↑ "Long years have passed since Mr. Stelzer became a resident of FranklinCounty, and his home was on the old Selzer road in Mifflin Township. Hewas born in Columbus on the 15th of October, 1834, and was of Germanlineage, for his father, Andrew Stelzer, was born in that country,whence in early manhood he crossed the Atlantic to the new world, takingup his abode in Ohio's capital. Here he married his second wife. Hewas a farmer by occupation, and his home was upon a forty-acre tract ofland in Crawford County, Ohio, where he carried on agricultural pursuitsfor twelve years, then returning to Franklin County, where he located inMifflin Township. On the farm which he there improved he made his homeuntil his death, which occurred in 1871, and he was then laid to rest onthe old homestead. He held membership in the Lutheran church atColumbus, and in politics was a Republican from the organization of theparty. He was well known and his sterling qualities gained for him therespect and good will of his fellow men. He wedded Mary Ann Fichtner, anative of Germany, but when thirty years of age she came to America,making her home in Crawford County, Ohio where she was married. She wascalled to her final rest at the age of sixty-eight years. AndrewStelzer became the father of five children, of whom John is the eldestby the second marriage. There was one child, Mary F., by his firstmarriage, which was celebrated in Germany.
    When the subject of this review as two and a half years old hisparents removed to Crawford County, and when he was a youth of fourteenhe returned to Franklin County, here remaining until the time of hisdeath. He pursued his education in the old-time log schoolhouses ofpioneer days, and during the summer months assisted in the work of thehome farm, remaining under the parental roof until his marriage December9, 1858, Miss Barbara Krumm becoming his wife. They first located uponthe farm where he spent his remaining days, their home being in a logcabin, in which they resided for eighteen years, when Mr. Stelzererected a fine brick residence. He made many other substantialimprovements upon the place, so that it became one of the most valuablefarms in that section. In addition to farming he engaged in the coalbusiness and the sale of that mineral greatly increased his income. Hislanded possessions aggregated forty acres, all of which he placed undera high state of cultivation, and the well-tilled fields yielded to him agood return.
    The home of Mr. and Mrs. Stelzer was blessed with ten children.Emma M. and Clara died in early children, and Henry died at the age offive years. The others are Frank, Anna F., M. Elizabeth, Julietta,Flora A., Martin and Amelia.
    In his political views Mr. Stelzer was a Republican, and throughouthis career he supported that party. He voted for John C. Fremont, itsfirst candidate, and that was his first presidential vote. He wasschool director in 1890 in Mifflin Township, and the cause of educationfound in him a warm friend, his labors being earnestly given to theadvancement of the schools. During the time of the Civil war he was amember of the home guards of the Third Ohio Regiment, and during theperiod of hostilities he was transferred to Company F, One Hundred andThirty-third Infantry, being in the service for one hundred days, whenhe received an honorable discharge. He was a member of John A. MillerPost, No. 192, G. A. R. Mr. Stelzer spent almost his entire life inFranklin County, and had a wide acquaintance and many warm friends, forhis industry and honesty, his genial manner and his sterling worthgained him the high regard of all who knew him. He was called to hisfinal rest on the 29th of March 1901."
