The elder, Fred W. Brown, attended the district schools of his native township and also the Lutheran parochial school and then took up the occu- pation to which he had been reared as a life work. He has always engaged in farming and now devotes his entire time to that occupation. He owns a farm in Caledonia township, upon which he has erected a comfortable residence and also put up large and substantial outbuildings for the shelter of grain and

stoek. He has also built a silo, which enables him to furnish green fodder for his stock during the winter months. He carries on both general farming and dairying and keeps from ten to fourteen cows, shipping the milk to Racine.
In 1896 Mr. Brown was married to Miss Amanda Pofahl, who was born in Milwaukee county and removed to Mount Pleasant township, this county. They now have two children, Mabel and Elmer Leo. The parents are loyal members of the German Lutheran church, and in his political views Mr. Brown is a republican, interested in the progress and welfare of the community but never holding office, as he feels that his entire attention should be devoted to his business affairs.
WALTER SILAS HAVEN, M. D.
Dr. Walter Silas Haven, engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery in Racine, is a medical graduate of the Northwestern University and after two years' hospital experience he came to this city, where he has since successfully followed his profession. He was born in Racine county, February 9, 1862, and is a son of George Silas and Jane (Jones) Haven, the former a native of Cheltenham, Ontario, and the latter of Caernarvonshire, Wales. The paternal grandfather, Isaac Haven, was also a native of England and was a veteran of the war with Napoleon, serving as surgeon in the English army and participat- ing in the battle of Waterloo. He brought his family to the United States in 1845, settling first in Philadelphia but afterward removing to Milwaukee. George S. Haven had lived therefore in two different places in America before coming to Racine about 1863. He married Jane Jones, a daughter of Solomon Jones, who arrived in Racine county from Wales in the year 1845. The marriage of the young couple was celebrated in Racine and Mr. Haven was engaged in the business of blacksmithing and tool dressing, being con- nected with the J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company as head tool dresser for many years. Both he and his wife are yet living in Racine and their married life covers a period of fifty-five years. In their family were six children, three of whom died in early life, while those still living are Dr. Haven, Jennie and Frank.
At the usual age Dr. Haven became a public school pupil, continuing his education in Racine until he had completed the high school course. He then entered Beloit college, from which he was graduated in 1887, winning the degrees of bachelor of arts and master of arts. He afterward taught Greek and Latin in the Wayland academy at Beaver Dam for one year and, entering upon the study of medicine in the medical department of Northwestern university, he was graduated therefrom in 1891. He added to his theoretical knowledge practical experience in hospital work, spending two years in the Northern Illinois hospital, and in 1893 he came to Racine, where he has since engaged in general practice. He was also president of the United States pension board for many years. He has been accorded a liberal patronage and has ever been found most careful and accurate in diagnosing his cases and in employing the needed remedial agencies.

HISTORY OF RACINE COUNTY
Dr. Haven exercises his right of franchise in support of the republican party where national issues are involved but at local elections casts an inde- pendent ballot. His life has been guided by the teachings of the Baptist church, of which he is a member, and he is also an exemplary representative of the Masonic fraternity. He belongs as well to the Phi Kappa Psi and the Phi Beta Kappa, while along strictly professional lines he is connected with the Racine County Medical society, the Wisconsin State Medical society and the American Medical association, thus keeping abreast with the advanced thought of the profession and utilizing its latest discoveries and researches for the benefit of his patients.
GEORGE HANNAFORD.
George Hannaford, who devotes his undivided time and attention to farm- ing and is now the owner of an excellent tract of eighty acres, on which he is engaged quite extensively in the buying, fattening and selling of beef cattle, was born in Dover township, January 2. 1858, a son of William and Jeannette (Beaumont) Hannaford. The father was born in Devonshire, England, in 1825, and the mother's birth occurred in Poughkeepsie, New York. It was in 1848 that William Hannaford arrived in Dover township and in thsi county they were married. He was a farmer by occupation and owned and cultivated one hundred and twenty acres of land, which he developed along progressive lines, making it a productive property. His father, William Hannaford, was a native of England and on coming to the new world made his way direct to Dover township, where his last days were passed. The maternal grandfather. George Beaumont, was also an early settler of Dover township. William Hannaford, Jr., was a young man of twenty-three years at the time of his ar- rival in this county and as the years passed he made for himself a creditable position as a successful agriculturist and representative citizen. In politics he was a republican. In his family were six children, of whom five are yet living : George; Mary, the wife of John M. Hardy, a resident farmer of Dover township; Harriett, who is living with her brother George ; Emma, also living with George; and William, who is a member of the same household.
George Hannaford pursued his education in the district schools and was reared to the occupation of farming, early becoming familiar with the best methods of tilling the soil and caring for the crops. He has always engaged in general agricultural pursuits and is now the owner of eighty acres of land, while his brother has one hundred and sixty acres. He has made a success of his life, having acquired and paid for one hundred and twenty acres of land. His business affairs have been carefully managed and he is now suc- cessfully engaged in feeding cattle and in buying and selling stock and fat- tening beeves for the market. For forty years he has kept a shorthorn bull and he now has sixty head of cattle on his place.
Mr. Hannaford is a member of the Masonic lodge at Union Grove and in politics is independent, voting according to the dictates of his judgment. He is recognized as one of the progressive citizens of the community and is con-
617

tinually putting forth effort along lines that result for the benefit of the dis- triet. His entire life has been passed in this county, covering a period of fifty-eight years, and he has therefore witnessed much of the growth and de- velopment of this part of the state.
JAMES L. ENGLISHI.
One of the most substantial residents of Norway township is James L. English, who owns and operates a fine farm on section 35. In that township he was born December 4, 1871, his parents being John and Mary (Quinn) English. The birth of the father occurred in Ireland, June 18, 1831, and in that country the paternal grandfather of our subject spent his entire life. He was a weaver by trade. Coming to the new world when a young man without capital, John English worked his way steadily upward until he was possessor of a good farm in this county. In 1867 he was able to purchase a quarter section of land and later added to this a tract of eighty-seven acres. This he placed under cultivation and at the time of his death, which occurred December 21, 1905, he was one of the well-to-do citizens of his community. He was married in Waterford, Wisconsin, June 27, 1867, to Miss Mary Quinn, who was born January 2, 1850, in Norway township, and died on the 2d of February, 1909. They became the parents of eight children, namely : Lila, living on the home farm ; James L .; Fannie, deceased ; Harry and Frank, both at home; Kittie, a public stenographer of Milwaukee; and Benjamin and Maude, both at home. The family are identified with the Catholic church and in politics the father was an ardent democrat. Our subject's maternal grand- parents were James and Katherine (Kearnen) Quinn. The grandfather came west by canal to Erie and thence by boat to Milwaukee in 1842. After remain- ing in the latter city for three nights he proceeded to Waterford and pur- chased a tract of land in Norway township, upon which he made his home until his death in 1860.
James L. English pursued his studies in the district schools of Norway township and in early life became thoroughly familiar with agricultural pur- svits. He has met with marked success in his chosen occupation and in con- nection with his brothers and sisters is the owner of an excellent farm. Since their father's death they have added two hundred and forty-seven acres to the property left them and they now have a very valuable tract of four hun- dred and ninety-two acres. Mr. English follows general farming, also does some dairying and raises stock of all kinds. Upon the home place he erected a large two-story residence in 1901, built a silo in 1914 and has other good biuldings which stand as monuments to his thrift and industry. His fields are under a high state of cultivation and the neat and thrifty appearance of his farm plainly indicates the care and attention which he devotes to it.
In religious faith Mr. English is a Catholic and he holds membership with the Knights of Columbus, No. 1578, at Burlington. The democratic party has always found in him a stanch supporter of its principles and he has taken quite an active and influential part in public affairs. Before he was able to
618
HISTORY OF RACINE COUNTY
vote he was elected township clerk and for two years served as township chairman. He is now a member of the ditch commission of Yorkville and Raymond, which position he has filled since 1906. All worthy enterprises receive his hearty endorsement and he may be counted upon to further any enterprise which he believes will prove of public benefit.
RACINE PUTTYLESS WINDOW COMPANY.
The Racine Puttyless Window Company, one of the recent additions to the business circles of Racine, was organized in 1914, at which time Gustave Bahnemann was chosen president, with W. S. Goodland, secretary and treas- urer, and Dr. J. S. Keech as vice president. There has been no change in the personnel of the firm since that time. The business is conducted at No. 1117 Main street, where they occupy a building two hundred by one hundred and fifteen feet and two stories in height with a four story factory on the west side of the street that is fifty by one hundred and fifteen feet. Here they have a lumberyard and they employ fifty people, most of whom are skilled work- men. The company manufactures wood work of all kinds and their specialty is the puttyless window. In this connection the plant manufactures about one hundred thousand windows per year in both wood and metal work and the frame is so constructed that it does away with all putty, making a much better and more durable window. The value of their output is further indicated in the fact that twenty-four other firms are now manufacturing the puttyless window on a royalty and the company receives a good financial return in that way. The durability of putty has ever been a question of time when it has had to be replaced and with the output of the company this necessity has been obviated. The business is now thoroughly organized and systematized so that there is no useless expenditure of time, labor or material and their patronage is steadily growing.
GUSTAVE BAHNEMANN.
Germany has given to Racine a large percentage of its citizens which num- ber includes Gustave Bahnemann, who was born in that country on the 5th of January, 1860, his parents being Frederick and Christine Bahnemann, who were also natives of Germany and there spent their entire lives.
The son was reared and educated in that country and upon attaining his majority in 1881 resolved to try his fortune in the new world. He therefore made the trip across the Atlantic and penetrated into the interior of the coun- try, settling at Milwaukee, where he remained until 1901. In the latter year he removed to Racine and became the partner and business associate of Adolph Weber in the ownership and conduct of a planing mill, the business being conducted under the firm name of Weber & Bahnemann until the Racine Puttyless Window Company was organized, when they sold out to the latter
HISTORY OF RACINE COUNTY 619
company and Mr. Bahnemann became its president, in which connection he has since continued. The development of this enterprise is attributed in large measure to his efforts. He readily understands the business situation, recog- nizes its opportunities and utilizes the advantages thus offered, and he has the power and ability to co-ordinate seemingly diverse interests into a unified and harmonious whole.
In 1895 Mr. Bahnemann was united in marriage to Miss Matilda Theda, of Germany, returning to that country for his bride. They now have one son, Frank, who is in business with his father. Mr. Bahnemann is identified with the Commercial Club and is interested in all that pertains to the city's devel- opment, growth and improvement. Fraternally he is connected with the Elks and politically supports the republican party, while his religious faith is that of the English Lutheran church. He is well known as a successful business man, ready to meet any emergency and guided at all times by a right concep- tion of things that makes his course very honorable and reliable.
C. E. THORKELSON.
C. E. Thorkelson, deputy health officer of Racine, was called to this posi- tion on the 1st of June, 1914, and in the intervening period has made a most excellent record by his devotion to the interests of the city which come under his control and supervision. Racine numbers him among her native sons who are of Norwegian lineage and who possess the sterling characteristics of the people who have come to us from the land of the midnight sun. He was born in this city February 25, 1885, a son of Mathias and Mary (Eggen) Thorkel- son, both of whom were natives of Norway, whence in carly life they came to the new world, their marriage being celebrated in this city. Mrs. Thorkelson arrived in 1862 and it was at an earlier period that Mathias Thorkelson reached Racine. He devoted his life to mechanical pursuits and was superintendent for the B. B. Manufacturing Company for several years, in which he made the famous B. B. cart for the race horse, "J. I. C." He has now passed away, but the mother is still living
When a little lad of six years C. E. Thorkelson entered the public schools and mastered the work of successive grades until, having passed the required examinations, he was graduated from high school with the class of 1901. His further preparation for life's practical and responsible duties was made as a student in the State university at Madison, where he completed a course in bacteriology in 1906 and won the bachelor of science degree. He then went to Elkhorn, Wisconsin, where he was employed upon a farm in his profes- sional capacity for two years, after which he returned to Racine and accepted a position with the Mitchell-Lewis Motor company in the employment and pay-roll department, continuing in that connection until the 1st of June, 1911, at which date his professional training was called into further play by his appointment as food inspector for the city of Racine under the board of health.
·
620
HISTORY OF RACINE COUNTY
Three years after he was made deputy health officer in charge of the depart- ment of health and has so continued.
Mr. Thorkelson maintains an independent course in regard to politics, believing it wise to hold one's self free from party dictation, yet he does not hesitate at any time to support his honest convictions, and the principles which govern his conduct are largely manifest through his membership in the Masonic fraternity and in the Methodist church.
WILLIAM H. MCCULLOUGH.
Among the native sons of Caledonia township who still reside within its borders and have won a creditable position as substantial, progressive farmers is numbered William H. Mccullough, who now makes his home on section 20. He was born September 13, 1869, a son of Archie and Rose (McAllona) Mc- Cullough. The father was born in Ireland in 1827 and after coming to the new world was married in Minnesota to Rose McAllona, whose birth occurred in New York in 1843. In 1866 they became residents of Racine county, Wis- consin, where the father purchased eighty acres of land, and as opportunity offered he extended the boundaries of his farm until at the time of his death he was the owner of an excellent and productive tract of one hundred and twenty-eight acres, from which he derived a substantial annual income as a reward for the care and labor which he bestowed upon the fields. He died in 1912, but the mother is still living. In his political views he was a republican, while his religious faith was that of the Methodist Episcopal church. Starting out in life empty-handed, he worked his way upward through persistent, earnest effort and became one of the substantial residents of the community in which he lived and enjoyed the respect and good will of all who knew him. To him and his wife were born four children: William H .; Edward, a prac- ticing physician of Delavan, Wisconsin; Laura, at home; and Frank, who is teaching school.
William II. Mccullough, reared under the parental roof, obtained his education in the district schools and afterward took up the occupation of farming, which he has always followed. He early became familiar with the best methods of tilling the soil and cultivating the crops and he is still busy in the work of the home place, for since his father's death the property has not been divided and he is now concentrating his energies upon the further cultivation of a farm of one hundred and twenty-eight acres. In addition to general farming he engages in dairying, keeping from sixteen to twenty cows and shipping the milk to Milwaukee. Ilis father built an attractive residence upon the farm and there are other good improvements upon the place. Mr. McCullough keeps everything about the farm in excellent condition and the entire place indicates his progressive spirit and the practical methods which he follows. He attends the Methodist Episcopal church and his entire life
621
HISTORY OF RACINE COUNTY
has been upright and honorable, in accord with high moral teachings. His political endorsement is given to the republican party, but he does not seek nor desire office as he feels that his farm duties claim his entire attention.
WILLIAM J. HANSCHE.
William J. Hansche, who is extensively engaged in truek farming in Mount Pleasant township, is of that class of citizens who are active not only in pro- moting the material development of the district but in advancing its moral interests as well, for he stanchly upholds all those principles which make for better manhood and higher living. He was born April 25, 1867, in the town- ship where he still resides, a son of Rudolph and Anna (Seorgel) Hansche. He acquired a common school education, pursuing his studies to the age of eighteen years, and through the periods of vacation he worked in the fields. He has never felt a need to change his occupation but has remained upon the farm, giving his attention to the raising of vegetables. He makes a specialty of cabbage and onions and ships in carload lots. In his business affairs he is associated with his brother, F. W. Hansche, and their interests are carefully. wisely and successfully managed.
On the 1st of December, 1891, Mr. Hansehe was married to Miss Etta Brad- ley, who died November 7, 1902, leaving four children : Elmer, at home, who is a graduate of the Racine high school and spent two years in college at Oskaloosa, Iowa : Edna, deceased; Alice, who also completed the high school course in Racine and is a student in Oskaloosa: and Maude, who has de- parted this life. On the 21st of April, 1908, Mr. Hansehe was again married, his second union being with Minnie Gertrude De Smidt, a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Claerbout) De Smidt. By this marriage there was one son, John, who passed away.
In polities Mr. Hansche is a prohibitionist, believing firmly in the prin- ciples of that party, but at local elections casts an independent ballot. He has served for three years as a member of the town board and his interest in the cause of education is shown by his active and helpful service on the school board, covering fourteen years. He has never neglected the higher, holier duties of life and is a valued member of the Pentecostal Mission church of Racine, of which he was one of the organizers, and he is also associated with the Spring Park Camp Meeting Association.
