*******************************
Christian Landis was a native of Bucks county, Penn, where he was born on May 20, 1799, and many years prior to his death, which occurred in Elkhart county, Ind, on February 16, 1892, was a well-known and well-to-do resident of this section.
He was a son of Benjamin and Hester (Gayman) Landis, and the former was born on the old Landis homestead in Bucks county, Penn, on which he spent a long and useful life and died at the age of eighty-three years. He was of German parentage who established a home and died in Bucks county, Penn.
Benjamin and his wife reared three children: Moses, Christian and Abraham, in the faith of the Mennonite Church, of which they were members.
Christian was born and reared on the home farm and was married in his native county to Anna Hunchberger, who was also born in Bucks county, Penn, a daughter of Henry and D Hunchberger. To this marriage one child was born, Benjamin, who died in Pennsylvania when about thirty years old. His mother also died in that State,
after which her husband took for his second wife Elizabeth Licey, who first saw the light of day in Bucks county, Penn, in 1806, a daughter of Christian Licey. To their marriage four children were born: Cornelius, who died in Elkhart county, Ind, at the age of thirty-six years; Anna; Christian, and Moses, the latter dying in 1868 at the age of twenty-five years. Their mother who was a member of the Mennonite Church, died in 1874.
The family settled in Harrison township, Elkhart county, Ind, in 1857 and the father first purchased a tract of eighty acres, but later traded it for 160 acres. He became wealthy and left a large estate to be divided among his children. He was a decided acquisition to the county and his death was felt to be a great loss to the community in which he resided and in the welfare of which he has always shown much interest. He was a Republican in politics.
His eldest child, Benjamin, was married to Nancy Moyer and two children were born of this union, Sarah and Henry, who reside in Pennsylvania.
Anna and Christian are the only surviving members of this family and reside in Harrison township on a well-improved farm of 279 acres all of which is well located, finely improved and an exceptionally valuable farm. Christian, like his father before him, is a Republican in politics, is a man of good judgment and is considered one of the substantial and upright men of the county.
