"Pfrimmer Left Lasting Footprint in County," Keri N. Minor, Corydon (Indiana) Democrat, June 6, 2012, p. A7. NOTE: The information noted below was abstracted by Randi Richardson from a lengthy article that is copyright protected. John George Pfrimmer was born July 24, 1762 in France. In 1788 he immigrated with his family to Pennsylvania. In 1808, traveling by barge, he moved himself and his family to Harrison County and aided in dividing the county into townships, establishing roads and licensing ferries. But he was a man of many trades and also engaged in medicine, farming, milling, preaching, politics and law. In 1814 he was one of the first members of the Miami Conference of the Brethren and later became a presiding elder in the church. Pfrimmer died on September 5, 1825 in Corydon at the age of 64.
