History of McHenry County Illinois, Vol. 2
Munsell Publishing Co., Chicago - 1922

         [p. 462-463]
         
         FRANCIS J. AICHER, D.D.S., is one of the capable and
       skilled members of the dental profession, engaged in
       active practice at McHenry. He was born at Washburn, Ill.,
       February 1, 1890, one of three children born to his parents,
       BENEDICT and ANNA (FECHT) AICHER. BENEDICT AICHER was born
       in Germany and came to the United States in 1861, and
       after stopping for a time in New York City, came on to
       Illinois, and went into a real estate and stock business
       at Washburn, Ill. There he lived until death claimed him,
       in 1900. The mother of FRANCIS J. AICHER, who was his
       second wife, survives him. By a former marriage, BENEDICT
       AICHER had four children.
         Doctor AICHER attended the common and high schools of
       Washburn and then took a three years' course in the Dental
       School of the Northwestern University, from which he was
       graduated in 1913. Finding the opening he sought at Mc-
       Henry, he located in this city immediately following his
       graduation, and since then has built up a very desirable
       practice, and has earned the confidence of his patients.
         Like other McHenry County men, Doctor AICHER is very
       patriotic, and when his country entered into the World
       War, he offered his services, and on September 15, 1917,
       was commissioned as first lieutenant in the Dental Reserve
       of the United States Army. He belongs to the Knights of
       Columbus and the Modern Woodmen of America. In politics
       he is independent in his views. The Catholic Church holds
       his membership.
