   LEVI O. BIEHN county treasurer, P.O. Richland Center, was 
born in 1845.  Michael Biehn, his grandfather, was a native 
of this county and had seven children.  Samuel, his father, 
deceased in 1848, and Mary (Ort), his mother, is now living. 
 They are the parents of five children, two of whom, Samuel 
and William, are deceased.  Our subject was married in 1868 
to Kate, daughter of Jacob and Deborah Clymer, of this 
county.  This couple are the parents of six children:  Edwin 
C. (deceased), Andrew C., Flora C., William M., Charles C. 
and Mary Deborah.  At the age of 14 years Mr. Biehn learned 
the trade of a shoemaker, which occupation he followed till 
1881, when he engaged in farming.  He has always been a 
stanch democrat, and in the fall of 1886 his fellow-citizens 
elected him to the office of county treasurer, which 
position he fills in a creditable manner.  He was a school 
director of this township for eight years and for six years 
agent for the Lehigh Insurance company.  He is a member of 
the Reformed church.
