A year later he came to Dubuque County and with a soldier's warrant for 160 acres settled on a 150 acre farm near New Vienna in New Wine Township. He moved to New Vienna in April 1853. His farm had a quarry and a sand pit. He was one of the pioneer settlers in that section of the county and experienced the trials and hardships incident to early times. Later he bought tracts of woodland near Guttenberg, and Bankston, Iowa from which he sold cord wood and walnut for furniture. At some later time Christian purchased a block of property in New Vienna consisting of a hotel, tavern, two big livery barns, a store building, and two residences, one rented to a doctor. In those days barns were needed as there were no cars. Farmers rented stalls where they could put their teams in cold weather when they attended church or conducted business. 1850 census: City of Galena, Jo Daviess Co., Illinois Name: Christian Hefer Occupation:Minar Age:35 Roll: M432_111 Page: 306 Image: 613 (Page 118 #612) Last name spelled Höver in 1854 Iowa Census New Wine Township, Dubuque Co., Iowa.
