STEPHEN MAEGERLEIN is a native of Germany, born January 3, 1834 and is
the third child of George and Margaret Maegerlein, also natives of 
Germany. At the age of thirteen years, Stephen was placed in a flouring
mill, and served an apprenticeship to the milling business.
In 1854, he emigrated to the United States and followed various vocations
until 1858, when he came to Indiana, located in Clay county and thence
came to Owen county and commenced the milling business in a well
appointed establishment valued at $10,000.00.
June 22, 1859, he wedded Mary Schmalz, a marriage which gave being to 
ten children--Caroline, George, Alice, Mollie, John, Lottie, Hermenie,

man in the strife of life. He owns and controls a farm of 250 acres in
this county, with good residence, well improved and well stocked, 
making a comfortable home and valuable property. He is a highly respected
citizen and he and his wife are members of the Lutheran Church.
