Farming has furnished such a profitable means of occupation to Charles Boll that he has never found occasion to abandon this business for other pursuits. He now owns a well improved farm of one hundred and sixty acres of timberland in Allens Grove township, located on section 20. Mr. Boll was born on a farm in Liberty township, Scott country, February 21, 1878, a son of Diedrich and Margaret (Hansen) Boll, both of whom were natives of Germany the former born in Holstein, August 23, 1828, while the latter claimed Schleswig as the place of her birth, her natal day being August 11, 1839. The father came to America in 1857 and located in Scott county. For a time he worked as a laborer on different farms of the neighborhood and later, in partnership with Hans Ewaldt, rented a farm in Hickory Grove township. As soon as opportunity presented, he purchased farm land and established a home of his own by his marriage to miss Hansen, who had come to the rival. They made their home in Liberty township throughout their remaining years and there reared a family of eight children, three sons and five daughters, the record being as follows: John, who makes his home in Dixon, Iowa: Mary, the wife of William Meyer, a resident of Hickory Grove township; Anna, the wife of Henry Koester, who resides in Liberty township; Emma, the wife of Thomas Hansen, of Luverne, Minnesota; Henry, a resident of Cleona township; Tena, the wife of Theodore Weick, also of William Rock, of Adrian, Texas. The father became a well-to-do man and at one time his possessions embraced one thousand acres of cultivable land in Scott county but he later divided his property with his children. For many years he was actively interested in public welfare of this section of Iowa, which he chose as a place of abode upon his arrival in the new world, and at his death, which occurred on the 17th of March, 1903, when he was seventy-five years of age, the county lost one of its influential and substantial citizens. The mother died several years previously, her death occurring march 31, 1894. Charles Boll was reared under the parental roof to the age of twenty-one years. In connection with his brother Henry he then began farming in Cleona township, their sister Lena acting as housekeeper in the summer months. He was thus engaged until about 1903, when he located on his present farm of one hundred and sixty acres, which was formerly owned by his father. This tract lies on section 3, Hickory Grove township, and he likewise owns twenty acres of timberland in Allens Grove township. Mr. Boll has made most of the improvements on his farm and it is now a valuable property, rich in its agricultural resources and attractive in appearance. He is largely engaged in general farming but makes a specialty of stock, buying, feeding and shipping cattle. Mr. Boll was married February 17, 1904, to Miss DOROTHEA FRAUEN, who was born in Hickory Grove township, July 8, 1882, a daughter of George and Dorothea (Duge) Frauen, who are mentioned elsewhere in this volume. Mr. and Mrs. Boll have two interesting little children, ELSIE D. and RAYMOND C. The parents are well known in this section of their county, for their entire lives have there been passed and their many good qualities have gained for them warm and lasting friendships. (BROTHER) HENRY Boll, who was formerly a partner with his brother Charles in business, is equally well known in the county. He was likewise born on the home farm in Liberty township, February 5, 1874. He assisted in the work of the home farm until he was twenty-five years of age and, then, as above stated, he and his brother engaged in farming together, their interests being allied for four years. At the end of that time they divided their interests and Henry Boll is now engaged in business alone. He owns two hundred and seventy five acres, the home farm being a tract of eighty acres lie across the road on section 6, Hickory Grove township, and the remaining thirty-five acres is on section 36, Liberty township. This land is in one body, where the three townships corner. It is a well improved property and Mr. Boll is meeting with well merited success in his farming operations. HENRY Boll was married November 16, 1899, to Miss ANNA HANSEN, who was born in Schleswig, Germany, February 8, 1879, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carsten Hansen. The mother is deceased but the father still survives and yet makes his home in Germany. Two others of their six children are in America, William and Louise Hansen, but Mrs. Boll came alone in the spring of 1898. By her marriage she has become the mother of two daughters, Helen and Alice. Transcribed by Elaine Rathmann
