FRED J. MATZINGER, a prominent lumber dealer of Perrysburg, enjoys the distinction of being the youngest man now conducting an inpendent business of any magnitude there. He is a native of that town, born October 5, 1872.

Our subject's father, the late Joseph Matzinger, came from Switzerland at the age of twenty- two, and after making an extensive prospecting tour settled in Perrysburg, where he opened a furniture factory; which he carried on until his death 1873. He was a devout Methodist in religious faith, and in politics he was a stanch Democrat, never failing to show an intelligent interest in all matters affecting the welfare of his adopted country. He married Miss Amelia Eberly, a native of Perrysburg, who survives him, with their only child, our subject, Fred J. Matzinger received an excellent education in his early youth, supplementing his studies in the public school with a course at Cleary College, Ypsilanti, Mich., where he was graduated in 1889. He then obtained employment at Jackson, Mich., in a sash, door and blind factory, and familiarized himself with the lumber business in general. On January 22, 1894, he established himself in business in his native town, opening a lumber yard, where he has already developed an extensive trade, He is a member of the Masonic fraternity; in politics is a Republican and is one of the leaders among the young men of the community, his early demonstrated ability and energy giving him influence unusual for one of his years.
