Christian Huchel was born in Germany June 23, 1849. Died December 10, 1931. He was 82 years 5 months and 17 days. When 21 years of age, Christian, with his brother Frederick, left the land of his birth and came to America. He settled in Edwards County. Here he met and married in 1874 to Miss Evelyn Elizabeth Kaericher. Since that time they have lived near West Salem and Parkersburg. 11 children were born to this union, four of whom preceded him in death. These were: Dello, Delbert, Walter and Katty.


Seven children remain to mourn his loss.
