  BIOGRAPHY: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~suzysprague/HuntingtonCo_IN/bios/GillJ.html JOHN GILL The subject of this biography is an American by adoption, but loyal citizen of the United States and a great admirer and earnest supporter of its free institutions. He is a native of Germany, where his birth occurred November 22, 1861. In 1865 he was brought by his parents, Fred and Louisa (Holzinger) Gill to America. Immediately after landing, the family proceeded westward to Huntington county, Indiana, where they selected a home, purchasing a small place in the township of Huntington not far removed from the county seat and where the father engaged in farming. On this place young John passed the years of his youth and early manhood and on attaining his majority he began life for himself as a farmer, leasing land for that purpose. With the industry and thrift characteristic of his sturdy race, he worked diligently, and however much his expenses, he always managed to lay aside a goodly portion of his earnings until in due time he had accumulated sufficient means to purchase a place of his own. He invested his means in a small farm of twenty-eight acres in Clear Creek township, suitable for market gardening and to this he has since devoted his attention with the most satisfactory results. Mr. Gill pays especial attention to all kinds of small fruits of which he raises only the very best varieties, while the products of his garden, consisting of all kinds of vegetables grown by first class gardeners have long had a line reputation for their excellence. He studies will the wishes of his patrons, and by taking the greatest pains to please them he has built up a large and lucrative trade which continues to increase as the years go by. Mr. Gill is a scientific gardener, understanding fully the nature of soils and how to obtain therefrom the most profitable results. The neat appearance of his place and its thorough tillage attest the interest he takes in his business, while the beautiful two-story brick dwelling recently erected and other evidences of prosperity speak well for the success which has thus far in life attended him. The same year in which he moved to his present place, 1887, Mr. Gill was united in marriage to Miss Mary Friedman, who has borne him nine children, viz.: Margaret, George, (___), Mary, Eddie, Henry and Herman (twins), Katie and Frederick. Mr. Gill was educated in the public schools, and in religion is a Catholic. He is a Democrat in politics, and while not an active partisan has done valuable service for his party in more than one campaign. With great energy and endurance he has improved and brought to a state of cultivation his beautiful little farm, improving his mind as he improved his land until he is now one of the most intelligent as well as one of the most progressive German American citizens of Huntington county. He is public spirited in all the term implies advocating all measures for the material educational and moral welfare of the community, and leading in many enterprises calculated to advance the industrial interests of the county. From his youth he has endeavored to shape his life according to the principles of morality which insure good citizenship, and his example should encourage every aspiring youth to feel that, whatever the future has in store, perseverance economy and a conscientious regard for truth will ultimately win a just reward. His life has never deviated from rigid rule of honor that ought to govern every man, and the influence he has exerted for correct living will no doubt bear rich fruitage in the career of others long before hid own has drawn to its close.
