He was a stu- dent of his work, read and studied the soil and crops thoroughly, and made
673
HISTORY OF STEARNS COUNTY
a most conspicuous success. A large part of his attention was turned to stock breeding, and as a result of his experiments and thought in this direc- tion he erected a barn which is a model of its kind, built along the latest lines, having a cement basement, an improved ventilator system, and patent stanchions, as well as many other sanitary features. A man of broad educa- tion along general lines, a diligent worker, a master of farming, it was nat- ural that his fellow citizens should draft him into public service. He was town clerk five years and assessor five years,. Although a Democrat in poli- tics, he ran on an independent ticket, for the position of county commissioner from the fourth district in 1910, and was elected. After the death of John P. Rau, October 19, 1913, Mr. Thomey resigned his position as county commis- sioner, and was appointed county auditor. To this office he has applied the same principles that contributed to his success as an educator and as a farmer, and he has made a most popular and efficient officer. Mr. Thomey is a mem- ber of the C. O. F., the D. K. L. V., and the K. of C. On September 26, 1899, he married Margaret Hansen, daughter of Mathias Hansen, the pioneer. They have five children: Alma (deceased), Leona, Pierre, Margaret and Catherine.
Pierre Thomey, a pioneer, was born in Luxemburg, and was there reared and educated. In 1858 he came to Stearns county and located on a farm of 160 acres in section 20, Rockville township. There were no roads, Indians were frequent visitors, and the family had to meet all the conditions of pioneer life. Mr. Thomey erected a log cabin, and broke the land. He had to drive to St. Paul for supplies. As an adept at speaking the Chippewa tongue, he was much with the Indians, and turned this greatly to his own advantage. Soon after his marriage he moved to St. Cloud, where he was the first village marshal. Later he returned to the homestead in Rockville township, where he spent the remainder of his days. Pierre Thomey was a jolly soul, a liker of good living, a teller of good stories. He was a true optimist, and having so full a measure of cheer himself, he desired that everyone around him should be happy and contented. He died June 24, 1876. Mr. Thomey married Mary Thill, and this union was blessed with five children: Emily, Joseph, Elizabeth, Marie and Nicholas. The family has been actively associated with the Church of St. James, on Jacob's Prairie, which Pierre Thomey helped to build.
Simon Strobel, retired blacksmith, of St. Cloud, was born in Columbiana, Ohio, October 28, 1849, son of Philip and Genevieve (Blau) Strobel, and grandson of Thomas Strobel. In 1846, Thomas Strobel left Hohenzollern, Germany, accompanied by his son Philip, and Philip's wife and three chil- dren. They located in Columbiana county, Ohio, where Philip worked some seven years at his trade as a stone mason. Before the expiration of this period, Thomas had taken up eighty acres of land in Ashford, Fond du Lac, Wis. Subsequently he returned for the rest of the family. He farmed on this place until within a few years of his death in 1884. Then Philip operated the place until his death in 1896 at the age of seventy-nine. Philip's wife died in 1908 at the age of ninety-one. Simon followed the fortunes of the family in Ohio and Wisconsin, and received such education as the district schools

afforded. At the age of sixteen he left home and went to West Bend, Wis., where he spent three years and a half in learning the blacksmith's trade. From there he went to Kewaskum, Wis., where he was associated two years with his brother, John, in the same business. After that he spent two years in working at various places throughout the country, including Atchison, Kansas, and Warsaw, Illinois. After this he returned to Wisconsin, and started a blacksmith shop of his own in St. Kilain, where he remained ten years. He was there married to Anna M. Gales, daughter of John Gales. To this union seven children were born: John married Agnes Gans, and they have one child. Annie married John Doerner. Albert married Elvina Besseman, and they have two children. Matilda married William Bowers, and they live in Minneapolis. Alphonse lives in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Rose teaches near Freeport, in Stearns county. Raymond lives in Mitchell, South Dakota. In 1882, Simon Strobel brought his family to St. Cloud. Here he entered into partnership with his brother-in-law, Peter Gales, for the manufacture and sale of wagons, Mr. Strobel taking charge of the black- smith department of the work. The company flourished, the output became well-known throughout this part of the state, and their wagons are unex- celled, even today. But the introduction of modern machinery, and the for- mation of the companies which make wagons on a large scale, doing away with the old methods of substantial and honest hand work, has put cheaper vehicles on the market, and makes competition difficult for the old-fashioned workman who puts his own honor and stability into every wagon. In 1909 Mr. Strobel sold out to his partner who still conducts the establishment. Mr. Strobel is a member of the school board, having been elected in the spring of 1914. For three years he served as a member of the city council. He is a member of St. Joseph's Society.
Peter Spaniol, proprietor of the Commercial Hotel, St. Cloud, and man- ager and treasurer of the Valentine Udermann Brewing Co., was born on the banks of the Rhine in Germany, December 13, 1860, son of John and Mag- dalena (Schaefer) Spaniol. The family came to America in 1882, settled in St. Joseph township, this county, remained there until 1890 and then moved to Oregon, where the mother died in 1892 and the father in 1912. Peter Spaniol was educated in Germany, helped his father on the farm in this county, and finally came to St. Cloud, where for four years he conducted the Eagle House, located on Sixth avenue south, between St. Germain and First street. He has conducted the Commercial Hotel for twenty-one years. It was in 1909 that he took his present position with the brewing company. This com- pany was organized as the Enderlie Brewery and was built in 1864. It was owned successively by Wendlin Merz & Martin Schindler; Wendlin Merz; Valentine Udermann; and now a stock company of nine men. Mr. Spaniol served on the city council for fifteen years, until the new Commission form of government went into effect. He is a member of the Minnesota Benefit Society, the Catholic Order of Foresters, the St. Joseph Benevolent Society, the Eagles and the Red Men.

Scharenbroich and they have one daughter, Velaria. George P. is with his father in the hotel. He married Mary Kindler and they have one son, Cyrill. William Mund, or Mund William, as he is also called, now living in St. Cloud, was born six miles from the city of Cologne, Prussia, Germany, January 12, 1847, son of William and Celia (Guy) Mund. The family came to America in 1855, spending forty-eight days on the water. They reached Madison, Wis., there purchased a pair of oxen and two cows and started for Minnesota. A location was secured in Luxemburg township, this county, where they started pioneer life. The Indians were numerous, and the Munds were constantly in terror of them A log house was erected and was shingled with shingles of oak. Wheels for the ox cart were made out of solid wood. At about the time of the opening of the Civil war, they sold their eighty acres, fifteen of which they had broken, and took a claim on section 2, Fair Haven township, where the elder Mund passed away in 1888, his wife dying in the Dakotas in 1898. The younger Mund, the subject of this mention, was reared on the farm. In 1864 he enlisted in Company G, Eleventh Minnesota Volunteer Infantry, and followed the fortunes of that company until the close of the war. Then he returned to eighty acres of land which he had purchased in Fair Haven, this county, and started farming thereon. He built a house of logs which he cut in the swamp, and made the roof from the bark of trees. In 1866 he married Margaret, the daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Ber- nardie) Rieschard, who came to America in August, 1865, joined her sister, Katherine at the Grand Central Hotel, St. Cloud, and was there wooed and won. Mr. and Mrs. Mund lived on the farm in Fair Haven township for a number of years, and then decided to seek their fortunes in Kansas. With their five children they took the overland trip. The rivers were swollen, in places scarcely a trail existed, and several times the family had narrow escapes from drowning. They finally reached Wichita. They purchased 120 acres of school land, broke five acres, and erected a frame house, 20x14 feet, at a cost of $135. Then came the hot winds, which ruined their crops, and so after selling out at a heavy loss, they returned to Stearns county, where they found that they had to pay a bonus of $200 extra to get back the place in Fair Haven that they had so recently sold. Aside from this venture they spent their lives on the farm from 1866 to 1901. The son, Frank, now resides there. In 1901, Mr. and Mrs. Mund moved into St. Cloud. While in the country, Mr. Mund was on the school board for a while. He is a member of the St. Augusta Society and color bearer for the J. R. McKelvy Post, No. 134, G. A. R. Mr. and Mrs. Mund are the parents of ten children of whom six are living. Cecelia married Peter Kaiser, and they have five children. Frank L. who lives on the homestead in Fair Haven, married Anton Larer, and has three children. Mary is the wife of Joseph Kraemer and has four children. John P. married Theresa Hinkermeyer, and has three sons. Eliz- abeth is married and lives in Minneapolis. Margaret married Edward Fisher, and they have three children.
