Notes
1 NOTE The subject of this review spent his early boyhood in Germany, being fifteen years of age (1866) when he moved with the rest of the family to America. He received his education in the public schools, and worked on the home farm in Illinois for a number of years, coming from that state to Indiana in 1908 and locating in Washington township, Boone county, purchasing three hundred acres of land, known as the Anthony Beck farm, which he operated about three years, then bought seventy-seven acres more just across the road and adjoining his place. Here he farmed on an extensive scale and prospered until 1912, when, having accumulated a handsome competency, he retired from active workand moved to Lebanon, purchasing the Henrietta Fall home, locating a mile north of the city, just outside of the corporation line and here he has since resided, merely overseeing his farm in a general way. He has greatly improved his place by tiling, fencing and erecting buildings. 2 SOUR S3

DOMINICK A. ENDRES.
One of the thrifty, careful German farmers of Boone county is Dominick A. Endres, of Center township, who is now living in retirement. He is a man who believed in doing his work well and never permitting the grass to grow under his feet. He was not only a ver\’ careful tiller of the soil, but also understood stock raising, looking carefully not only to the selection of live stock but to the feeding, watering, salting, stabling and the best time of mar- keting. It is true that the best farmers study the market quotations of stock in the principal cities, and by so doing very often receive the reward of their watchfulness in a much more satisfactory price for their products as well as those of the stock yards. Our subject managed thus not only to get good grades of live stock, but also to get the best prices, and he. therefore, has established a very comfortable home and has a good farm, which was so well managed that abundant harvests were reaped from year to year as a result of his vigilance and good management. But anyone with energy should succeed at farming in Boone county, for here nature has generously bestowed her attractions of climate, soil and scenery to please and gratify man while earning his bread by the “sweat of his brow.” Being thus munifi- cently endowed, this locality offers superior inducements to the farmer, and bids him enter her domain and avail himself of her resources.
Mr. Endres was born in Germany in the year 1851. He is a son of Dominick and Kunegimda (Baunach) Endres. both natives of Germany, where they grew to maturity and were married and there resided until 1866. The father was born in 1820 and the mother in 1823. The father learned the cabinet maker’s trade when a boy, which he followed in the Fatherland until emigrating with his family to the United States in 1866. when he located

in Illinois on a farm on which he and his wife spent the rest of their lives, both being long since deceased. Their family consisted of five children, all born in Germany, namely: Dominick A., of this sketch; Frank is married and is farming in Kansas; Willibald is married and lives in Kankakee, Illi- nois, where he is working at the machinist’s trade ; Fred has remained single and is engaged in the contracting business in Illinois ; Mrs. Runegunda K. Dimmig lives in Iowa and is the wife of a retired farmer.
The subject of this review spent his early boyhood in Germany, being fifteen years of age when he removed with the rest of the family to America. He received his education in the public schools, and worked on the home farm in Illinois for a number of years, coming from that state to Indiana in 1908 and locating in Washington township, Boone county, purchasing three hundred acres of land, known as the Anthony Beck farm, which he operated about three years, then bought seventy-seven acres more just across the road and adjoining his place. Here he farmed on an extensive scale and prospered until 191 2, when, having accumulated a handsome competency, he retired from active work and mo-ed to Lebanon, purchasing the Henrietta Fall home, locating a mile north of the city, just outside of the corporation line and here he has since resided, merely overseeing his farm in a general way. He has greatly improved his place by tiling, fencing and erecting buildings.
Mr. Endres was married in 1882 to Maria Sendlebach, who was born in Germany and there reared and educated. She had been the childhood sweetheart of Mr. Endres and she made the long trip from her native land in 1882 to Chatsworth, Illinois, where they were married upon her arrival, our s.ubject being located at that place at that time. They had been born in the same community, were reared as neighbors and were schoolmates. The date of her birth was August 24, 1857.
To our subject and wife eight children have been born, namely: William is married and is renting the seventy-seven acres of his father’s farm, which land the road separates from the larger place; Joseph is married and rents the home place of three hundred acres ; Theodore is single and is working for his brother Joseph; Philip is single and lives at home with his parents and attends high school in Lebanon; Mary is single and lives at home; Elizabeth married William R. Stewart and lives in Lebanon ; Rosa is the youngest and is also a member of the family circle ; one child died in early life.
Politically, Mr. Endres is a Democrat, and he and his family are

Roman Catholics in their religious affiliations and are faithful to the mother church. This is one of Boone county’s worthiest and most highly respected families.
