Title	George F. and Amelia Bredeick Lang Photographs
Subject	Business and Labor Daily Life Flour & meal industry Mills
Place	Delphos (Ohio) Allen County (Ohio) Van Wert County (Ohio)
Description	Two 25 by 28-inch (63.5 by 71.12 cm) framed photographs show George F. Lang and his wife Amelia Bredeick Lang. They were married in 1872. George Lang was born in Delphos in 1850. In 1880, he and Alex Shenk purchased the Eagle Flouring Mills, which ground grain into flour. Water from the nearby Miami and Erie Canal provided power for the mill. The company was established in 1872 as the Union Flouring-Mill Company, but changed its name to Eagle Mills. In 1885, the mill employed ten men and produced approximately 125 barrels of flour a day. Amelia Bredeick Lang was the daughter of Ferdinand and Maria Bredeick, original settlers of Delphos. The city of Delphos was chartered on February 7, 1851. It was settled by German immigrants led by Father Otto Bredeick, who before emigrating was rector of the cathedral at Osnabruck. Bredeick sent his brother Ferdinand to select a location for his Catholic congregation's new home in America. Upon hearing that a canal would be built in the area, Ferdinand bought land that would become Delphos. Its location on the Miami and Erie Canal encouraged growth of manufacturing and boatbuilding and the establishment of hotels and inns. A cholera epidemic and the rise of railroads slowed the city's growth in the late nineteenth century, but the discovery of oil in the late decades of the century brought renewed prosperity.
