The people of Germany have formed a large contingent and have ever been most welcome owing to their willingness to give their best efforts to this work. Almost without exception they have been industrious, law abiding, willing to upbuild and support our institutions and while holding their native land in grateful remembrance, yet at the same time they cherish their adopted country. Among the hundreds of German citizens who have made Shelby county, Iowa, their permanent home, there is no one more worthy of mention than Nicholas Langenfeld, one of the most substantial farmers of Shelby county. Nicholas LANGENFELD, the proprietor of five hundred acres of farming land in Union township, was born January 20, 1855, in Germany. He is a son of Christian and Johanna (ECKES) LANGENFELD and received all of his education in his native land. Christian Langenfeld farmed with his father until he was married and then his father gave him a small tract of land, which, in addition to a farm which he bought, made him a very respectable tract. He continued farming successfully in his native country until 1869, when he felt that he would be able to give his children much better opportunities in the United States than they could ever receive in their native land. At that time there were hundreds and thousands of Germans coming to the United States, and a great majority of them at that time were settling in Wisconsin. Accordingly, in that year, Christian Langenfeld came to this country and settled in Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin, where he purchased a farm of eighty acres, and here he lived until 1885, when he moved to Shelby county, Iowa, and located in Lincoln township. He bought a farm here of eighty acres and lived upon it until all of his children were married. He then retired from the active labor of the farm and moved to Earling, where he lived until his death, in 1906, his widow surviving him until 1909. Christian Langenfeld and wife were the parents of nine children: Kate, the wife of Joseph GOESER; Jacob, who married Katherine LEFFELMAN; Annie, the wife of Fred LOEHR; Nicholas, whose history is here presented; August, who married Katherine FREUND; Katherine, who became the wife of John SCHIMEROSKI; John, who married Mary WIELAND; Michael, who married Joseph LACKMAN, and Mary, the wife of F. W. WILWERDING. Nicholas Langenfeld attended school in his native land and when his parents came to the United States, in 1869, was fourteen years of age. He worked upon the farm of his father in Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin, until 1881, and then went to North Dakota, where he worked for two years. In 1883 he came to Shelby county, Iowa, and rented a farm, living upon it for four years. He then purchased one hundred and sixty acres, on which he is now living, and by frugal and thrifty habits, has increased his land holdings until he now has five hundred acres of fine farming land in this county. He has two large barns, erected in 1891 and 1898. In 1905 he built a modern residence, at a cost of six thousand dollars, of twelve rooms, with hot water, bath room, gas and every modern convenience. He raises large crops of all kinds of grain common to this section of the state, and makes heavy shipments of live stock each year. Mr. Langenfeld was married on February 19, 1884, in Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin, to Katherine KRUPP, the daughter of John and Clare Krupp, and to this union have been born ten children: Casper, Clara (died at the age of six and one~half years), George, John, Dora, William, Wilhelmina, Francis, Frederick and Odelia. Casper married Annie PETSCHE, and has two children, Felix and Alma; George J. married Anna SCHMITZ, and has one son, Leo. The reader is referred to the sketch of George J. Langenfeld, which is found elsewhere in this volume. The rest of the children are still unmarried and living with their parents. The Krupp family was also a German family and came to this country and settled in Calumet county, Wisconsin, in the early sixties. They lived there the remainder of their lives, rearing a family of five children: Bernard, Casper, Jacob, John, and Katherine, the wife of Mr. Langenfeld. Politically, Mr. Langenfeld is a member of the Democratic party and has always been more or less interested in local politics. He has served as township trustee and also on the school board of his township, giving universal satisfaction in both capacities. He and his family are earnest members of the Catholic church, while Mr. Langenfeld holds membership in the Knights of Columbus. * *
