(Witness) Bio

John L. Younker, blacksmith, Maxville, Ohio; born in the Kingdom of Wurtemberg, Germany, November 16, 1838; son of Leonard and Christina (Wittman) Younker. His father was very desirous that his son should become master of the sciences, and in early boyhood he attended school at Limbach, Germany; and at the age of 14 years entered Temple Hof Academy in the same kingdom, and made such progress, that at eighteen years of age, he was permitted to enter the famous Erlangen University, in the Kingdom of Bavaria. He had only remained here two years, when the death of his parents threw him upon his own resources, and he was compelled to give up his college life, and at once emigrated to America, landing in New York City, September 21, 1858; and at once went to Circleville, Pickaway county, Ohio, and apprenticed himself to the machinist trade, and continued to apply himself at this trade for about eighteen months, when he also began to work at the blacksmith trade. On the 31st day of March 1862, he enlisted in Company A, Twelfth Regiment, United States Infantry, serving as corporal, and participated in all the battles of the Army of the Potomac, until he was taken prisoner at Coal Harbor, Virginia, June 11, 1863. He was at once taken to Richmond, and from there to Andersonville, Georgia, where he endured all the tortures and sufferings of that infernal rebel prison; was taken from Andersonville to Florence, thence to Charleston, South Carolina, where he was paroled December 11, 1864, having been a prisoner exactly eighteen months. After being paroled, he returned to Annapolis, Maryland, and rejoined the army, and served until the expiration of his term of enlistment as hospital steward. He was honorably discharged from the army at Fort Hamilton, New York Harbor, March 31, 1865, and immediately returned to his home in Circleville, Ohio and resumed the trade of blacksmithing, which employment he has ever since followed.
In the autumn of 1877, he removed to Webb Summit, Hocking county, and remained three years, removing to Maxville, Perry county, Ohio, in 1880, where he has ever since resided. In the spring of 1881 he was elected Justice of the Peace, which office he still continues to hold. Was married in Circleville, Ohio, December 9, 1860 [sic], to Loisa [sic], daughter of George and Phoebe Schlicher, of Perry county, Ohio, to whom were born six children, viz.: Frank, Mary, Emma, Rose, Maggie and Philip M; the oldest, Frank, died in infancy. Mr. Younker is considered one of the best read men of the township in which he resides and is a first-class mechanic and a good citizen.²
