CHARLES F. HEIMLICH & BRO., at Reynolds, are doing a good business in the manufacture of wagons, at black smithing and in the selling of agricultural implements of all kinds. The firm is composed of Charles F. and John Heimlich, sons of Gottfried and Polly (Quada) Heimlich, natives of Germany. Charles Heimlich was born in Honey Creek Township February 16, 1859; received a very fair education at the common schools, and was employed on his father's farm until twenty years old; he then served an apprenticeship of three years at black smithing and wagon-making. In 1882, he and his brother John bought out John Brucker at Reynolds, and are now doing a prosperous business. John Heimlich, the junior member of the firm, was born also in Honey Creek December 27, 1861; received a fair education, and is now learning his trade under the tuition of his brother. Both the brothers are members of the Lutheran Church, and in politics both are Democrats.
