  BIOGRAPHY: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:IuEpfs45iG8J:www.heritagepursuit.com/Stark/Stark04P400.htm+%22Caroline+Burkmyer%22+OR+%22Caroline+*+Burkmyer%22+OR+%22Burkmyer,+Caroline%22&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk BIOGRAPHY: MARTIN LABBE is the owner of an excellent little farm of eighty-eight acres on section 13, Lawrence Township, but notwithstanding its somewhat limited dimensions it is so admirably tilled that it yields a larger income than many more extensive farms. He has spared no expense in draining and improving his place and has erected substantial and commodious buildings. A native of Germany, born October 7, 1830, he possesses all the characteristics of that race of people: prudence, foresight, honesty and industry. His father, Wendlin Labbe, a German, was a shoemaker by trade and successfully followed that calling until he attained his seventy-third year. He was married to Margaret Balsar, who died at the age of seventy years. Their marriage resulted in the birth of six sons and four daughters, all of whom grew to mature years, married and reared families. Only six of the family are now living, two of whom still reside in Germany and the others in the United States. BIOGRAPHY: Martin Labbe was the second child born to his parents, and at the age of twenty-two years crossed the Atlantic ocean to America in search of a for-tune. After six weeks spent in New York City, be came to Stark County, Ohio, and at once began following the trade of shoemaking, which he had learned in his native land, and was thus soon enabled to pay off the debt which he had contracted by coming to America. During the first three years of his residence in this country, he worked for others, at the end of which time he came to the conclusion that more money could be made by working in an establishment of his own, and with this end in view he opened a shop, which he conducted with success for about thirty years in Canal Fulton. In 1882, he purchased the farm on which BIOGRAPHY: he is at present residing, and up to the present time has followed agricultural pursuits with unflagging energy and industry. he does a general farming and stock-raising business and this calling has proven very congenial to his tastes. BIOGRAPHY: He has been married twice, the first time in Jannary, 1856, to Miss Caroline Burkmyer, who was a native of Switzerland, but came to Stark County, Ohio, at the age of fifteen years. She was called from life in 1868, having become the mother of seven children, three of whom survive: Catherine three of whom survive; Emma and William. Mr. Labbe's second marriage was to Miss Mary Eva Gill, also a native of the "Fatherland." Although they have no children of their own, Mrs. Labbe is devoted to her step-children, their interests and welfare being paramount wIth her. She is an estimable woman in every respect, and she and Mr. Labbe have a large circle of friends. Mr. Labbe has always espoused the principles of Democracy and his vote is cast for the men and measures of that party. He and his family are worthy members of the Catholic Church of Canal Fulton and are liberal in the use of their means in its support.
