GEORGE ALLENBAUGH George Allenbaugh. The entire career of George Allenbaugh, one of the progressive and public-spirited residents of Washington township, has been devoted to farming, a field of effort in which he has met with well-deserved success. Mr. Allenbaugh was born in Shelby county, Ohio, in July, 1864, a son of George and Katherine Allenbaugh. His parents were farming people who passed the greater part of their lives in Shelby county, where they owned valuable land and were held in high esteem because of their many sterling qualities of character. George Allenbaugh the younger passed his school days in his native county, where he acquired a district school education, and was reared on the home farm. His entire training having been along the line of agriculture, it was but natural that he should adopt this vocation upon acquiring years of maturity, and to the tilling of the soil he has subsequently devoted himself. In the fall of 1915, after gradually working his way up the ladder of agricultural attainment, he purchased his present farm from M. Hennessey, of Piqua. This is a property consisting of 110 acres, on which Mr. Allenbaugh has made numerous improvements, including an attractive and commodious home, farm structures of substantial and good appearance and the latest inventions in the way of equipment and machinery. He is progressive in his ideas and practical in his aims and a proper combination of conservatism and forceful initiative has assisted him to attain a position of independence and recognized importance in his community. Mr. Allenbaugh married Miss Emma Regula, of Shelby county, and to this union there has come one son, Raymond, who is assisting his father in the work of the farm. During times of peace, Mr. Allenbaugh has supported worthy civic movements and in the days of the World war he was a liberal contributor to the movements made necessary by the exigencies of the situation. Industrious, capable, sober and reliable, he inherits the confidence in which he is held by his fellow-citizens. Return to the Biography Index Copyright © 2000 by Computerized Heritage
