Daniel Focht
Daniel Focht came to Union township in 1836. His family consisted of nine children, as follows: Samuel, Daniel, Lewis, Adam, John, William, Jacob, Susan, and Mary. He located in Sec. 14, where he remained until his death, which occurred in 1853. Daniel Focht now owns and resides in the old homestead. He married Maria Justice in 1855, and although not one of the very earliest settlers, he yet found the country comparatively new.
