Biography of Thomas Langen, Jr.
From HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY
W. H. Beers [Chicago, 1883]
Page 893
THOMAS LANGEN, Jr., farmer, P. O. London, was born in New York State in 1846 and is the son of Thomas and Ellen (McCarty) Langen, natives of Ireland, who emigrated to America in 1832. In 1846, they came to Ohio, settling in Fayette County, where they remained until 1868, when they came to this township. The father died in 1873, leaving an encumbered estate and making his son Thomas his executor. Thomas soon released the land from its encumbrances, made additions to it, but has recently sold it all with the intention of purchasing a larger tract. The family consisted of four children – Thomas, Francis, James and George. Thomas married Mary Mahan, of Clark County, in 1876, and has two children -- Charles F. and William. George, who is assisting Thomas on the home farm, was born in Fayette County, June 28, 1860, and now owns 127 acres of land. These boys are all energetic steady industrious farmers, who look well to the interest of themselves, and of their community.
