CHARLES LAMSEIL, jeweler, Ripley, is a native of Saxony, Germany, where he was born March 31, 1823. After serving an apprenticeship at his trade in his native place, he took passage for the United States in 1851. He established himself in business at Cincinnati, Ohio, and after a few years removed to Georgetown; thence to this city, in 1859, where he has since controlled the jewelry business of the city. He was married in Saxony, Germany, October 28, 1849, to Miss Amelia Neuwiller. Five of the six children born to them are still living, viz.: Anna C., Emma L., Matilda C., Edward F. and Oscar C. Mr. L. had some means at his command when he left his native shore, but through misfortune lost it all. Yet, firm in reliance upon his energies, he was soon enabled to renew the effort, which has proved a thorough success. He has been prominently identified in the township, and is an active member of the Presbyterian Church. He is a member of the City Council, and a Director of the First National Bank of Ripley; also has been an officer in the I. O. O. F., and is one of Ripley’s most popular citizens.
