GEORGE SCHLECHTY, farmer and Justice of the Peace; P. O. Weaver’s Station; a son of Christian Schlechty, who was a native of Berks Co., Penn., and came with his parents, Christian, Sr., and Barbara Schlechty, to Darke Co.; he was married here to Susannah Noggle, and resided on the farm in Sec. 33, which the son George now owns. The subject of this sketch was born in Neave Township, in 1824 and grew to manhood here amid the difficulties and limited opportunities of the early residents; his father had a tan-yard, and George came in for his share of work at that trade, but, when he became a man, preferred farming, and has farmed ever since; he now has the farm upon which his grandfather settled, about the year l816; he also owns the tract upon which his father first resided after his marriage. Mr. Schlechty is the present Justice of the Peace for Neave Township, and is a leading and useful citizen; he was married on March 10, 1859, to Arebecca Winders, a native of Indiana; they have six children— Willis M., Edson V., Levi D., Charles A., Jasper N. and John F., all of whom are members of the present household.
