Gabriel Fleck always followed farming in Sinking Valley, and was held in high esteem by his fellow citizens. He was politically a Republican, a member of the Lutheran church, and also of the Grange of Sinking Valley. His union

Clair C. Fleck was reared and educated in Sinking Valley, and has always followed farming in a general way, now residing on a farm of 102 acres, which is located in Tyrone Township. He is a man of public spirit and enterprise, and has always taken an interest in all affairs which tend toward the advancement of the community in which he lives. In politics he is identified with the Republican party, and is fraternally a member of the Masonic order
of Tyrone, and the Grange of Sinking Valley. He holds membership with the Lutheran church.
