s/o Alfred G. Burch and Cynthia Reid
From R.L. Lowry-History of Preble Co., OH 1915
Whether the elements of success are in an individual or whether they are quickened by a process of circumstantial development, it is impossible to determine clearly. Yet the study of a successful life, whatever the field of endeavor, is none the less interesting and profitable by reason of the
existence of this same uncertainty. In the life career of Asa Burch. who for many years has been identified with the civic and agricultural life of Preble county, Ohio, are to be found many qualities that always gain success if properly directed. In Asa Burch, Preble county has a distinguished citizen and a man who has served his country faithfully and well at a time when patriotism was put to the supreme test.
Asa Burch, who liives on Deem st. in Eaton, Ohio, was burn in Cayuga county, NY Nov 16, 1834 the son of Alfred G and Cynthia (Reed) Burch, who emigrated to Ohio in 1845 and located in New Haven in Hamilton county. Alfred G Burch was a miller by trade and worded at different places. In 1848 he moved to a farm where he followed the occupation of a farmer the remainder of his life. He was a member of the Baptist church and politically was identified first with the Whig and later with the Republican party. He also was a great temperance man. He died in 1872 and his wife in 1886. They were highly respected and prosperous farmers at the time of their death. They were the parents of eleven children, two of who are now living, C.R. who is now a resident of the state of Michigan and Asa, the immediate subject of this interesting biographical sketch.
Asa Burch spent his boyhoood days on a farm and his education was neglected during this period. He has profited widely, however, from the school of experience and hard knocks. He began working for himself at the age of twenty and worked as a farm hand for several years. He enlisted in Sept 1861 in the Eleventh Ohio Battery and was wounded October 4, 1862. He was discharged Dec 13, 1862 on account of disability. After his discharge from the army. Mr. Burch returned to Butler county, Ohio, and worked there on a farm. At the time of his marriage he had seved about eleven hundred dollars.
