LEWIS W. ROTH, son of William and Carolina (Miller) Roth was born Jan. 20, 1870, in Washington township. He grew to manhood upon his father's farm, attending the public schools of the neighborhood. He has always been an agriculturist. He began as a tenant in 1891 upon a farm at Best Station, where he continued five years. He then operated the Joseph Hunsicker farm for six years, in Washington Township. He then purchased his father's 130-acre farm, where he has since lived. In 1908 he bought another farm of 149 acres. Both these farms are in the potato belt. Mr. Roth plants a large acreage of potatoes and has been very successful in this line. In politics he is a Republican; in religion a Lutheran and a deacon in the Heidelberg church.
