Ford Motor History and Henry Eicher Memorial Obituary
A long obituary recounts the sudden death of Henry Martin Eicher at his East Main street home in Washington City. It details his life from Noble county birth in 1859, education, law career, public service on the State Board of Education, and his role in local defense during wartime. It notes survivors, health history, and the community impact of his passing. The second piece reviews Ford Motor Co. history from its 1905 formation, key early investors, stock values, and the roles of Malcomson and Dodge brothers in building the company’s foundation.
