Arie Stahl was born in Jackson Township, Seneca County, Ohio, September 30, 1852, and belongs to one of the pioneer families of that County. Michael Stahl, his grandfather, located there at a very early day, when Indians still roamed through the forest, and endured all the hardships and privatizations of frontier life. He married Sally Hampshire, and both spent their remaining days in Jackson Township, Seneca, County.
Jonas Stahl, the father of Arie, was born September 14, 1828, and was the eldest son and third child in a family of 12 children. He was reared in the midst of pioneer scenes, and as his service was needed in clearing and developing the home farm, his educational privileges were quite limited. He remained under the parental roof until his marriage, November 1, 1849, with miss Harriet Fiandt, the wedding ceremony being performed at Fort Seneca, by Reverend John Bilchartz, a Lutheran minister. She was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania, September 15, 1831, a daughter of Martin and Mary Kingsley Fiandt, both of whom had been twice married. Mrs. Fiandt's first husband was Gabriel Price. In 1834, Mister Fiandt took his family to Wayne County, Ohio, in 1843 removing to Big Spring Township, Seneca County, and later to Jackson Township, same County. However, he died in Wood County at the age of 94, and his wife spent her last years in Lagrange County, Indiana, dying at the age of 96. In their family were five children, of whom the mother of Arie was the second daughter and third child. By his former marriage, Mister Fiandt had eight children.
Jonas Stahl began his domestic life upon a farm in Jackson Township, Seneca County, where his death occurred November 12, 1870, and his remains were there interred in the Lutheran Cemetery. He was a staunch Democrat in politics, and was one of the active worker's and faithful members of the Evangelical Church, in which he held office. He left two children – Melissa, who was born November 12, 1850, is now the wife of John Soules, of Seneca County; and Arie Edwin . The mother, who is still living, was married December 31, 1874, to Noah Swope, of Risingsun. She also holds membership in the Evangelical Church.
The education of Arie was such as the district schools near his boyhood home afforded, and he early became familiar with the work on a farm. He was but 18 years of age when his father died, and at once assumed the management of the home place. On reaching his majority he led to the marriage altar miss Margaret Long, of Jackson Township, Seneca County, the daughter of Benjamin Long, and to them were born two sons- Elroy, of Risingsun, and Benjamin, who died in infancy. After his marriage Mister Stahl located on the old home farm, where he lived for six years, and then came to Perry Township, Wood County, where he purchased 120 acres, in section 2, which place continued to be his home until his removal to Risingsun, in 1891. During his residence in Perry Township, he erected all the buildings eyes excellent farm, with the exception of his dwelling, and improved the farm in many ways. For two years after coming to Risingsun, he continued to follow agricultural pursuits; but has since engaged in the oil business, being one of the most extensive individual operators of Risingsun, and owning 200 acres of valuable oil land he also owns two houses in Risingsun, his own residence being one of the finest in the village. He regularly supports the Democratic Party, but is no politician or office seeker, his own interests requiring his entire time and attention.
