Peter Elmerick
Peter Elmerick, farmer, P. O. Randolph, was born in Randolph Township, Portage Co., Ohio, October 29, 1854, a son of Joseph and Mary Elmerick, natives of Germany, who located in this county in 1844, where they still reside. The father has been a life-long farmer, and has attained the ripe old age of sixty-six years; the mother is sixty-four years old. Both are consistent members of the Catholic Church. They are the parents of nine children, all living: Peter (our subject), Joseph, John, William, Frank, Anthony, Mary, Clara and Elizabeth. Peter Elmerick acquired a good common school education, and has engaged in farming all his life, now owning ninety-two acres of improved land in Randolph Township. He is a member of the Catholic Church. He has been very successful through life, and bids fair to make his mark in the world.
