CHARLES F. ARING, of Lawrenceburg, one of the members of Rodenberg Distilling Company, was born in Ohio in the year 1860, and has resided most of his life in a small town called Chiviott where he received his education.

In 1880 he invested in the Rodenberg Distillery,in which institution he has since been employed.

He was married, in 1882, to Miss Emma Brandstettmer, and they have one child---Estella.

Mr. Aring is a young man of sterling qualities and bids fair to succeed in all his business enterprises. The establishment with which he is connected was built at a cost of some $15,000 by himself, Fredrick and Christ, Todenberg, and has a capacity of 32 bushels of grain per day, employing eight persons. Considering his age it is creditable to Mr. Aring's honor and abilities that he sustains an interest in an enterprise of such proportions.
