JOHN M. VOSHELL, farmer and stock-raiser, was born August 15, 1848, where
he now resides, and is the second of the five children, two of whom are yet living,
born to Thomas S. and Catherine (Stierwalt) Voshell, natives of Owen County, Ind.
John was reared on a farm and to the honored and independent business of farming.
His father died when he was but five years of age, so that he acquired only a spare
education, having to give his services at home.  September 3, 1874, he married Miss
Mollie, daughter of Adam and Annie E. (Miller) Renner.  Mr. Voshell has a good 
home and farm of 133 acres, which are well improved, in fine cultivation, and 
supplied with stock and all necessary appurtenances.  For the past few years, he
has given most attention to stock trading, in which enterprise he has been fairly
successful.  He is an active young Democrat, and he and his wife and mother are
consistent members of the Baptist Church.
