John Walch, vice president of the First State Bank of Elgin, and a busi- ness man of high standing and wide reputation, was born in Mt. Vernon Town- ship, Winona County, Minn., July 13, 1876. His parents were Nicholas and Clara (Kemp) Walch, the father born in Luxemberg and the mother in Ohio. Nicholas Walch came to America in 1858, and his marriage to Clara Kemp oc- curred at Dubuque, Ia., where for several years he was engaged in the livery business. In 1864 he moved to Mt. Vernon Township, Winona County, and bought 240 acres of government land at $1.25 an acre. The tract was covered with heavy timber, which took a considerable time and plenty of hard work to clear, but the task was finally accomplished and a fine farm developed, the size of which Mr. Walch increased to 1,400 acres by additional land purchases. There he resided, continuing the work of improvement until his death in 1899. His widow is now a resident of Winona. They had 13 children, some of whom are now deceased, the survivors being Henry and Nicholas (twins), Roman, John, Francis, Laura, Kate, Aloysious and Cecil. John Walch acquired his elementary education in the school of his district, Winona County, and later attended public school in Winona City. In 1898, in partnership with J. Schlin- german, of Winona, he engaged in the dry goods business there under the firm name of Schlingerman & Walch, and continued as a member of the concern un- til 1902. In that year Mr. Walch entered the Merchants Bank at Winona and remained there until 1904, when he came to Elgin and accepted the position of cashier of the First State Bank, which he held until 1920, when he was elected vice president. He is also a director in the First State Bank at Rollingstone and is financially interested in farm land in Olmsted County. His business career has been progressive and has broadened out, with still greater promise for the future. For 15 years Mr. Walch has been a member of the village coun- cil and has served as its president. Fraternally he belongs to Rochester Lodge, No. 1091, B. P. O. E. A man of sound judgment, and upright in all his trans- actions, he is highly respected in the community. On October 25, 1904, Mr. Walch was united in marriage with Leona Steichen, who was born at North- ·wood, Ia., March 25, 1879. They have an adopted child, Jean, who was born February 22, 1918. Mr. and Mrs. Walch are members of the Catholic church.


Michael Schneider, now living retired on a farm in Highland Township. which he formerly operated, has had a long and varied experience as farmer and merchant and proved his capacity in both lines of industry. He was born in Lorraine, France, May 5, 1853, son of John P. and Mary C. (Florange) Schneider. The family came to this country when Michael was about two and a half years old, settling near Milwaukee, where John P. Schneider established himself in business as a stave maker, being thus engaged in that vicinity for ten years. In 1865 he moved with his family to Winona County, Minn., ar- riving there October 10, and buying 80 acres in the town of Jefferson, now Norton. Having erected a small shack, he started to develop a farm, the whole family taking part in the grubbing and clearing. In the spring of 1866, with two yoke of oxen, he broke 50 acres, and two years later he broke 50 more. There he and his wife spent the rest of their lives, he passing away in 1873, and she in 1901, at the age of 78. Before his death he gave his son, Michael, 80 acres, the latter having to pay the heirs what the farm cost when wild-$10 per acre. Mr. and Mrs. John P. Schneider had eight children, of whom six are now living: Margaret, widow of Christ Simon, residing two miles north- east of St. Charles in Winona County; John P., a physician practicing at Bow- man, N. D .; Mary, wife of John Schwitzer, of Mankato, Minn .; Catherine, wife of Peter Kartzmann of Hazleton, N. D .; Nicholas, who lives in Mankato; and Michael of Highland Township, Wabasha County.

quently carried on the farm. In addition to the 80 acres which he had received from his father, he bought another 80-acre tract adjoining it, a third tract of the same size, part of the original farm, being retained as a homestead for the mother. In 1883 they sold the three eighties, and Michael went to Lewiston, where he engaged in the hardware business with a partner under the firm name of Schneider & Linden. He also acquired 140 acres adjoining town. After eight years he sold the land, and after ten years his interest in the store, and moved with his family to Rollingstone, where he resided nine years. In 1902 he came to Wabasha County and bought a farm of 160 acres in Highland Town- ship, later added to it another tract of the same size, which gave him a farm of 320 acres, and later added 160 acres across the road in Plainview Township, making a farm of 480 acres. Here he engaged in general farming until 1916, when he retired and moved to Plainview, being a resident of that village until the fall of 1919. He then moved back to the farm, where he now resides, and which is carried on by his sons, Louis, Arnold and Edward, under the name of Schneider Brothers, the father and mother together keeping house for them. They have two nice residences, of eight and nine rooms respectively, with good barns and out-buildings on both farms. During his active career, both in Winona and Wabasha counties, Mr. Schneider identified himself closely with public interests, and showed himself a public-spirited citizen. In Winona County he served as supervisor of the town of Norton, was treasurer of the school board of Lewiston, and was president of the village board of Rolling- stone four years, during which time he inaugurated a number of local improve- ments. He has been a director of the Wabasha County Fair board for a number


of years; is a director of the Farm Bureau Association of Wabasha County, and served many years as vice-president of the Farmers' Mutual Fire Insur- ance Company. Religiously a Catholic, he belongs also to the Knights of Co- lumbus and the Minnesota Benevolent Society. Mr. Schneider was married at Winona, Minn., May 15, 1878, to Bertha Jung, daughter of John P. and Cath- erine (Kohner) Jung. Her parents were natives of Luxemburg, who emigrated to Wisconsin, where their daughter, Catherine, was born, and subsequently to Winona County, Minn., where they became well to do farmers. Mr. and Mrs. Schneider have had ten children, eight of whom are living: John P., a practic- ing physician in Minneapolis and professor of materia medica in the University of Minnesota; Louis, Arnold, Edward and Lawrence; Mary, wife of William Dietrich of Rochester; Sedella, wife of Arthur Walch, residing on a farm near Plainview; and Catherine, who is living on the home farm. Those deceased were two daughters, each named Rosa, both of whom died in infancy. During the recent war, Edward N. enlisted in the U. S. Seventh Division, in the Vet- erinary Department, 14th Brigade, and served a year and three months in the United States and France, taking part in the engagements at Metz and in the Argonne. Lawrence also entered the U. S. service and was stationed at the Officers' Training School at Minneapolis when the war ended. Mr. Schneider and his sons are extensive breeders of blooded Holstein cattle, keeping a herd of registered cows and bulls; his Poland-China hogs are also full-blooded. He has one of the best farms in the township and he and his family are highly esteemed members of the community.

Marshall Charles Weir, who spent a useful and active life in Greenfield Township, where he was highly respected and esteemed, was born in Tepeotah, Wabasha County, Minn., April 3, 1862, son of Marshall and Catherine (Doyle) Weir. His parents were farmers in this township and continued in that occu- pation until their death. Marshall C. was educated in the district schools here and for a number of years thereafter worked for his father. Subsequently he started in for himself, buying a farm of 160 acres, to which he later added more land until he was the owner of 334 acres, located in sections 25 and 30, Greenfield Township. On this place he made valuable improvements, erecting all the buildings and putting up fencing. He carried on general farming and stock raising with good success until his death on November 1, 1914.

Paul J. Polson, who until recently was numbered among the agricultural population of Oakwood Township, but is now living retired in Lake City, was born in Oakwood Township, January 14, 1875, son of Emeric and Sophia- (Johnson) Polson. He was reared in that township, and at an early age had to assist his father on the farm, but attended District School 44 during the winters up to the age of nineteen. Until 1898 he continued to assist his father, but in that year a change occurred in his life, as he was united in marriage May 26, 1898, with Martha Nass, daughter of Holvar and Bertha Nass of Oak- wood Township. In the spring of the same year he bought a farm of 133 acres in sections 16 and 21, Oakwood Township. It was an improved farm, but with poor buildings. In 1902 he bought 160 acres in section 22, which gave him a farm of 293 acres, of which he put 220 under the plow, leaving the remainder in pasture and timber. He also erected a good set of buildings. Mr. Polson carried on general farming, but gave his chief attention to stock raising, keep- ing from 65 to 70 head of grade Shorthorn cattle, and from 50 to 60 Chester- White hogs, also grade animals, his market being Millville, three and a quarter miles distant. He continued farming until November 1, 1919, when, having acquired a competence, he retired and took up his residence in Lake City, buy- ing a fine house and three acres on Lyon avenue. He is a stockholder in the

Emil W. Reiter, a retired farmer residing in Elgin Village, was born in Posen, Prussia, Germany, June 6, 1862. At the age of ten years, in 1872, with his parents, Fred and Ameliage (Myer) Reiter, he came to the United States, the family settling first in Buffalo, N. Y. In 1877 they came to Minnesota, lo- cating in Elgin Township, Wabasha County, where Emil began working out on farms. By 1891 he had become a good, practical farmer, with ambitions look- ing to an independent career in that industry, and accordingly he rented a farm in Farmington Township, Olmsted County, where he resided until the following year. He then bought a farm of 160 acres in sections 7 and 8, Elgin Township, on which he made a number of valuable improvements, in 1913 building a basement barn 36 by 60 feet, and a good house and out-buildings. As a general farmer and stock raiser he made good progress and acquired a competence upon which he retired in 1918. The farm is now being operated by his son, Clarence. Mr. Reiter was married June 17, 1891, to Molly Boie, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. John Boie, and the issue of this marriage is three children: Helen, born December 6, 1893, now Mrs. Oscar Benike of Rochester; Clarence, born August 17, 1896; and Elna, born May 26, 1905. Mr. Reiter and his family are members of the Lutheran church, and are well known and respected in Elgin and the vicinity. He is a member of the Old Settlers' Association of Elgin.


Joseph Suilmann, a prominent citizen of Pepin Township, who owns and operates an excellent farm of 240 acres in section 55, Pepin Township, was born in Hanover, Germany, October 13, 1873, son of Joseph and Caroline (Surmann) Suilmann, his parents being farmers. The father born in the early forties, died in 1909. The mother died in 1912. Each was about 65 years old. They had a family of four sons and three daughters: Herman, who is still in Ger- many, on the old farm; Joseph, the subject of this sketch, and Theresa, Anton, Wilhelmina, Gerhardt and Lacey, who are still living in Germany. Joseph Suilmann attended common school in his native land up to the age of 14, and remained on the home farm until he was 20. He was then obliged to enter the army and receive military training, being thus engaged for two years. After that he was again on the home farm until 1895, and subsequently was employed away from home. In the year 1900 Mr. and Mrs. Herman Passe of Wabasha County, Minn., visited Germany, and induced him to seek his fortune in Amer- ica. Accordingly late in the year he set out and landed in New York, Novem- ber 11. From that city he came on to Wabasha County, and here, or in this vicinity, during the following winter, found work in chopping wood for 75 cents a day, being thus employed many days when the thermometer was 30 or 32 below zero. This was a hard experience for a young man accustomed to a much milder climate, but he proved himself capable, and in the summer found work as a farm hand, receiving $19 a month. He had reached Wabasha County with a cash capital of only $25, but he got along and saved money, continuing to earn daily or monthly wages until 1905. By that time, having been econom- ical, he was prepared to start in for himself, and did so by renting the Frank Welp farm of 120 acres on Pepin Hill. He now felt so sure of success that in the following spring, on May 10, 1906, he married Mary Passe, daughter of Herman and Anna Passe of Wabasha Hill, and they began domestic life to- gether on the rented farm, where they remained for two years and a half. Then on September 11, 1908, Mr. Suilmann bought the old Roemer farm of 200 acres in section 35, Pepin Township, to which he has added 40 acres more making a farm of 240 acres. One hundred acres of the farm were then under the plow,

and there was a frame house on it but no barns. Mr. Suilmann therefore ex- temporized a barn by fitting up an old dilapidated log house for that purpose by adding a lean-to, where he kept his horses and cattle. He also greatly im- proved the frame house, and later built a modern frame barn, 36 by 72 by 12 feet, with full stone basement and cement floors, Hudson and Thurber stalls, and running water to every stall; also a granary, 16 by 40 by 8 feet in size, with machine sheds, corn cribs and other buildings. He also gradually supplied himself with all necessary tools and modern machinery. More recently he has set out a young orchard and erected a stave silo 14 by 34 feet, 100-ton capacity. He is now in the full tide of a prosperous career as a general farmer, having 40 to 50 head of grade Shorthorn cattle, and a herd of 40 to 50 Duroc swine. He also owns a fine five-passenger automobile. Mr. Suilmann's first wife, Mary, died January 2, 1909, leaving two children: Joseph Herman, born July 5, 1908, and Mary Anna, born November 9, 1909. Some time after that event Mr. Suil- mann had a sickness which necessitated a hospital operation, and on his recov- ery, in September, 1910, he took a trip to Germany, being away ten weeks. Dur- ing that time he was married to Marie Wilmers, daughter of Henry and Caro- line Wilmers of Hanover, Germany, and brought his bride back with him to his Wabasha County farm. By her he has had five children: August Alfonso, born January 27, 1912; Walburga, September 11, 1913; Frances Regina, Sep- tember 7, 1915; Vincent August, January 26, 1918 and Innocent Bernhard born December 28, 1919. Mr. Suilmann took out his last papers as an American cit- izen in 1911. He and his family are members of St. Felix parish, Wabasha.


Carl F. Podein, an active and enterprising farmer residing in section 12, Oakwood Township, was born in Germany, September 20, 1883, son of Carl and Sophia (Jacobs) Podein. The father was a native of France and the mother of Germany. They came to America, and to Wabasha County, Minn., in 1880, locating in Plainview Township, where they farmed for about 14 years, the father dying in 1894. His widow is now residing in Plainview. Their son, Carl F., was educated in the common and high schools of Plainview, and after relinquishing his studies worked for about a year on the home farm, after which he purchased his present farm of 217 acres in section 12, Oakwood. On this property he has built a good house, windmill, all the outbuildings except the granary, and in 1920 erected a modern barn, 36 by 82 feet, with full basement. His place is well stocked with Durham cattle, Chester-White swine and Shrop- shire sheep, and its production of stock and crops provide him with a good in- come. Mr. Podein was the first member of the Millville Co-operative Co., deal- ing in grain and all farm products. He was elected town supervisor in 1913, and through re-elections has served continuously in the same office ever since. A man of much energy, good business ability, and sterling common sense, he has proved himself a useful citizen and dependable town official and is widely respected. Mr. Podein was married August 16, 1905, to Clara A. Villwock, who was born August 20, 1881, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Villwock. Four children have come to brighten their home, namely: Clarence E., born June 20, 1906; August (deceased) ; Arthur C., born April 23, 1910, and John, born May 29, 1916. Mr. Podein. and his family are members of the Evangelical Lutheran church.


George J. Pretzer, a representative Wabasha County farmer, whose farm lies in three townships, was born in Oakwood Township, Wabasha County, Minn., June 4, 1864, son of William and Caroline (Schultz) Pretzer. He ac- quired his education in a district school in Elgin Township, and worked for his father until 1894. For two years subsequently he operated a rented farm near Elgin Village, and after that, for a year, another farm south of Potsdam. In 1897 he bought the home farm of his father, consisting of 149 acres in sec- tion 5, Elgin Township, 40 acres in Oakwood Township, and 80 acres in Zumbro Township, making a total of 269 acres. In 1910 Mr. Putnam built a new base- ment barn, 34 by 50 feet, and in addition has a substantial and comfortable res-

idence and good outbuildings. As a general farmer and stock raiser, breeding high grade swine, he is making a financial success. He is a member of the school board of District No. 96, Elgin Township, and religiously is affiliated with the German Lutheran church. On December 5, 1895, Mr. Pretzer was mar- ried to Nettie Schuchard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Schuchard. He and his wife have been the parents of seven children, five of whom are now living. Their record in brief is as follows: Arthur R. W., born August 18, 1896, was drafted into the U. S. Army May 28, 1918, becoming a member of the 308th Infantry Replacement Company. He sailed for France August 8, 1918, took part in the fighting in the Argonne Forest, was wounded September 28, 1918, and discharged March 24, 1919. He is now at home. George A., born Novem- ber 30, 1897, was drafted into the army October 24, 1918, going to Camp For- rest, Ga., where he was stationed two months. He was discharged December 26, 1919, at Camp Dodge, Ia., and is now at home. Mabel T., born May 1, 1898, is residing at home and so is Clarence W., born January 23, 1900. Ella L., Sep- tember 13, 1902, died April 4, 1917. The two youngest, who are on the home farm are: Gilbert E., born January 19, 1904; and Caroline A., born Septem- ber 16, 1906, who died in 1908. William Pretzer, father of George J. Pretzer, was a native of Germany, who came to America in the early fifties, settling in Oakwood Township, Wabasha County, Minn., where he resided for the rest of his life except for thirteen years that he spent in South Dakota. After his re- tirement from active work he lived in Plainview Village until his death, which took place February 6, 1918. His wife Caroline died August 26, 1914. They were the parents of ten children, namely: William, George, Robert, Hulda, Martha, Lydia, Paul, Emma, Henry and Claire. Hulda is now Mrs. Frank Pagel of Rochester, Martha is the wife of George Dickman of the same place, Lydia is the wife of Carl Quale, Emma the wife of Louis Andrea, and Claire the wife of Laud Andrea. Henry is now deceased.


Deidrich Dankers, now living retired in Lake City, is a man who has had an active career as farmer and public official, and is well and favorably known over most of the county. He was born in Hanover, Germany, November 15, 1848, son of Peter and Anna Dankers, and was educated in the common schools in his native land. There he grew to manhood and was married April 18, 1869, to Marguerite Martin. For 10 years longer he remained in Germany, and then, in 1879, with his wife and three children, he emigrated to the United States, coming directly to Wabasha County, Minn. Here he at once turned his atten- tion to the cultivation of the soil, renting the Thomas Morrow farm in Mt. Pleasant Township, which he worked for 15 years. In 1894 he bought of Mr. Morrow an improved farm of 120 acres, with fair buildings, on section 32, which he operated until 1906. He then retired, buying a comfortable residence in Lake City, at the corner of Dwelle and Sixth streets, where he has since made his home. On February 2, 1911, Mr. Dankers suffered a paralytic shock, as the result of which has has since been helpless, but otherwise enjoys good health. He was a very active and capable farmer, and very successful. He was also a prominent citizen of his township, serving as chairman of the town board for six years, and also for a number of years as assessor and on the school board. In 1901 and 1902 he built the first macadamized road in Wabasha County, extending from the foot of McCahill Hill to the boundary of Lake Township. His prosperity has been self-acquired, with the aid of his wife and children, as he had nothing when he arrived in this county. Moreover, during his early years on the farm, he made little, owing to the low price of produce, having to sell his barley at 17 cents, eggs at 5 cents, and butter at 8 to 10 cents. He and his wife have been the parents of nine children: Anna, Marguerite, Katherine, Henry, Charles, Peter, John, Fred and William, of whom the first three mentioned were born in Germany. Anna is now the wife of John Isen- dorf of Goodhue County. Katherine is the wife of Deidrich Klintworth of Chester Township, Wabasha County. Henry is a harness-maker at Glenwood,
