The father and mother were both born in Germany and they came to Marathon County in 1865. The father was one of the early ministers of the Lutheran faith in this section. In 1884 he moved with his family to Shawano County and then to Wausau, his death occurring in this city in 1903, at the age of seventy-four years. The mother died while the family still resided in Berlin.
