Newspaper Citation: Palladium Item (P.) 06 FEB 1941, page 5, column 3 ================== Reuben Bertsch, Jr., one of the intelligent and capable agriculturists of Jackson township, was born on the old homestead north of East Germantown, Sept. 16, 1863, son of Reuben and Susan (Jacoby) Bertsch, the father a native of Pennsylvania and the mother of Ohio. They were married in Butler county, Ohio, from whence they came to Germantown. Reuben Bertsch took advantage of the educational opportunities afforded by the district schools of Jackson and Harrison townships and lived with his parents until he had attained his majority. For fifteen months thereafter he worked as an employee on his father's farm, and in 1887, having accumulated a sufficient sum from his earnings, began farming the place where he now resides, working the farm on shares for ten years. In 1896 he purchased the farm, which consists of 111 acres, upon which he has made substantial improvements and is now successfully engaged in general farming. His success can in large measure be attributed to his habits of thrift and industry, and is the direct result of his own efforts, the only assistance he has received being the help and inspiration of his good wife. Although Mr. Bertsch gives unbiased support to the men and measures of the Democratic party, he has never been an aspirant for official honors. On Dec. 1, 1886, he was happily married to Miss Emma Bell Gipe, daughter of Wesley and Barbara E. (Shafer) Gipe, of East Germantown, and they became the parents of four children, of whom the following brief record is given: Ruth May, the eldest, is the widow of Martin Myers, who died Jan. 31, 1908, leaving one child, Raymond Luther, and the widow resides with her parents; Mary B. is the wife of Parry Sorber, of Washington township; and Luther W. and Naomi F. reside with their parents. Wesley Gipe was a native of Pennsylvania and Mrs. Gipe of Indiana. They were married in Germantown and reared a family of four children: Emma Bell. born Jan. 6, 1864, is the wife of the subject of this review; William Willard, born Jan. 14, 1866, married Ida Oldaker and resides in Germantown, and they have two children-Grace Barbara and Blanche E.; George Franklin, born Oct. 10, 1869, married Nettie Riggle and resides in Germantown, and they have one child, Hazel C.; and Park Robert, born Feb. 18, 1871, married Edna Neff and resides in Germantown, and they have one child, Louise.
