           [396]

           HENRY JURGES, farmer, section 10, Bingham Township, was born
        Jan. 27, 1835, in Hanover, Germany.  His parents came to America
        when he was 14 years old, and settled in Preston, Waterloo Co.,
        Ont.  In 1854 they made another change, removing to Huron County,
        where they passed their remaining years.
           MR. JURGES was married March 17, 1857, in Ontario, to CATHERINE
        MILLER, and they became the parents of eight children, all of whom
        survive the mother but one.  Their births occurred as follows:
        CAROLINE, ELIZABETH, FREDERICK, MARY, CATHERINE, MINNIE, EMMA and
        HENRY. The latter is deceased.  MRS. JURGES died April 18, 1884,
        mourned by a large circle of friends who had known her many years
        and tested her value as a member of society.
           After his marriage, MR. JURGES located on a farm in the township
        of Paris, in Huron County, where he owned a farm and managed it
        three years. He afterward sold the property and came to Bingham
        Township, where he has since continued to reside without change. He
        bought 238 acres of land, 158 acres being situated on section 10
        and included in his homestead, the remainder lying on section 9. He
        has improved 165 acres on the two places. He is one of the most
        skillful and capable agriculturists in the township, and has
        creditable and suitable farm buildings.
           In political faith and action he is independent.
