Dayton, Ohio, 1880-1900

Born in August 1831 in Germany, John F. Feight was a carpenter and contractor who lived in Dayton, Ohio.[3][4][a] He may have lived for a while in Wisconsin before going to Ohio, as his oldest son was born in Wisconsin.[4] Feight is credited with designing one house in Omaha.[1][2] Feight's wife was named Eunice and they had three sons together.[3][4]
