April 26 Richter Day

The Richter Scale is a commonly known term that has been used since the 1930s to measure and compare the intensity of earthquakes. Charles Richter, the person, is less well known, and not many people realize that he was born in Butler County, Ohio. Richter’s story is one of intense personal struggle and persistence in the face of great difficulties in order to achieve and lead a productive life. Charles Richter was born on April 26, 1900, the only son, and second child, of Lillian and Frederick Kinsinger. The farm where he was born, on Wehr Road near Overpeck, was the Richter family farm where his mother Lillian grew up and remained even after she married.
