      J F Eicher, who was born in Fayette County, Penna, 
February 23, 1820, is a foundryman and manufacturer and 
dealer in farming implements.  His parents, Abraham Eicher 
and Mary Freeman Eicher, were natives of Pennsylvania and of 
Irish and English descent.  His father's family consisted of 
twelve children, of whom Mr Eicher was the ninth.  When 
eighteen years of age he went to Pittsburgh to school.  He 
learned the moulder's trade at Connellsville, Penna, serving 
an apprenticeship of three years.  He then lived for seven  
years at Uniontown, Fayette County, and in 1850 came to 
Carmicheals where he has since been engaged in his present 
business, and has met with unusual success.
  
      Mr Eicher was married at Connellsville, February 14, 
1842, to Miss Rosa Glendenning, daughter of William 
Glendenning.  They are the parents of ten children, six of 
whom are living: George Eicher; Emma Eicher; Wallace B 
Eicher; Robert Eicher; Sarepta Eicher; and Anna M Eicher.  
Mr Eicher has been an ardent Republican ever since the 
organization of the party.  Mr and Mrs Eicher are faithful 
members of the M E Church.
