LEVI SWITZER, farmer; P. O. Pleasant Hill. Mr. Switzer, one of the prominent farmers in this locality, now in the prime of life, is possessed of many sterling qualities; he was born Oct. 22, 1837, in York Co., Penn., and is a son of Elizabeth and William Switzer; they emigrated to Clark Co., when Levi was 14 years of age; his occupation has always been that of a farmer, and in it he finds both pleasure and profit. Miss Sallie E. Sigler and Levi Switzer were married Jan. 21, 1869, in Cumberland Co., Penn.; their wedding tour was immediately from the home of the bride, to a farm in Miami Co.; no time being spent in preliminaries, housekeeping was commenced in Newton Township, and neither have ever had cause to regret the day they plighted their troth to each other. Two children have thus far blessed their union— Jesse M. and Edward L.; they were born in Newton Township, and are both promising lads and are now attending school. Politically Mr. Switzer is a Republican; both himself and wife are members of the German Reformed Church, and are respected by all who know them. Mr. Switzer is a great lover of literature, and is especially well posted upon agricultural topics; he is withal a pleasant, social gentleman, and upon the general topics of the day is much better posted than most farmers.
