Agriculture, the source of all wealth, finds in Wells County, Indiana, a representative in the truest sense of the word in the person of Andrew J. Haflich, a resident of Union township and one of the present county commissioners. He was born in Crawford county, Ohio, October 31, 1843, and came to Wells County, Indiana, with his parents, Isaac and Catherine (Fletcher) (sic Pletcher) Haflich, when he was but eight years of age. The family settled in Rock Creek township on a farm, in the cultivation of which young Andrew J. was early called upon to assist, and was thus, to a great extent, deprived of opportunities to secure an education in youth. However, he secured a robust and healthy physical constitution through his labors on the homestead, and at the time secured a thorough knowledge of the noble and honorable calling of agriculture. He was sufficiently well educated, however, to become a teacher in a rural school, although he did not follow that vocation as a profession. He continued his labors on the home farm until he had attained his majority, when he started in business on his own account. April 1, 1865, he married Miss Amanda Beil, who came with her father, Jacob Beil, from Ohio when the daughter was quite young, and settled in Rock Creek township, Wells County, where she was educated and where she afterwards taught school for several terms. To them have been born ten children, of whom nine still survive and are named Ida, Sylvia, Reuben, Jacob, Mary, Viola, Bessie, Eva and Hattie. At marriage, Andrew J. Haflich rented the Haflich homestead, which he cultivated and lived upon until April, 1872, when he purchased seventy acres of the farm he now occupies, but which was then without improvements of any kind. This he has since cleared, ditched and improved in all respects, thus developing one of the finest homesteads in Union township. Mr. and Mrs. Haflich are faithful workers in the Methodist Episcopal church at Uniondale, of which Mr. Haflich is a trustee and Mrs. Haflich a steward. Mr. Haflich in past time served as superintendent of the Sunday school, and is now assistant superintendent, while Mrs. Haflich is a teacher. In politics Mr. Haflich has been a life-long Democrat and at the present hour is one of the leading men of his party in Wells County. His experience as a politician is extended and varied, and his managing ability has been tested in many a hard-fought campaign. In primaries and in conventions his voice is always listened to with profound respect and his advice eagerly sought and followed. Although he has never felt any special desire for office holding, he has nevertheless felt it to be his duty as a matter of patriotism to respond to the party call to serve in any capacity, and hence it is that he is now filling his second term as county commissioner from the third district of Wells County. His duties have been performed during over six years as a member of the board of commissioners in such a manner as not only to redound to his personal credit, but to be a subject of hearty congratulation by the Democratic party. As a farmer Mr. Haflich has treated his vocation from an intellectual as well as a practical standpoint. From his earliest days he has recognized the all-important bearing agriculture has upon the fate of any nation, and is well aware of the fact that an agricultural people is the happiest and, as a whole, the wealthiest on the face of the earth. As a citizen Mr. Haflich is useful and public spirited, is widely known and respected, and his family share with him the unfeigned esteem of the entire population of Union township.
