Description	:	Gustave Boeke The methods followed by Gustave Boeke, farmer and stock raiser of Grant township, are those which ever insure ultimate success; they are the methods of an up-to-date tiller of the soil and a man who believes in relentlessly pursuing those ideals and principles which bring not only material success, but which are calculated to redound in various blessings.

Read More	Gustave Boeke The methods followed by Gustave Boeke, farmer and stock raiser of Grant township, are those which ever insure ultimate success; they are the methods of an up-to-date tiller of the soil and a man who believes in relentlessly pursuing those ideals and principles which bring not only material success, but which are calculated to redound in various blessings. He seems to be most loyal to this, his adopted country, being as patriotic, if not more so, as many of our own native citizens, for he has never been known to refuse his support to all worthy movements looking to the general good of the community in which he has cast his lot. He has therefore made many lasting friends here who bear him no ill will in anything. Mr. Boeke was born in the village of Asendorf, Lippe-Detmold, Germany, on April 5, 1880, and he is the son of Herman and Minnie (Kuhfuss) Boeke, the father being a brother of August Boeke, a sketch of whom appears in this work. Herman Boeke was born in the year 1837 at Asendorf, Lippe-Detmold, Germany, and his death occurred in 1888, at the age of fifty-two years. His widow survives, making her home in Hubbard, being now seventy-three years old. Their family consisted of eight children, two of whom died in childhood in the old country, and Minnie, who later became the wife of Ed. Lehmeier, died January 2, 1910; those living are Fred, who makes his home in Hubbard and runs a hardware store in Garden City; Simon, who lives in Hubbard, is an extensive dealer in the produce, ice and coal business there; Matilda married Simon Brandt and lives in the east part of Grant township; August lives at Melvin, Osceola county, Iowa; Gustave, of this review. In September, 1881, the Boeke family emigrated to America and located at Hubbard, Hardin county, Iowa. In the spring of 1882 they bought a farm a short distance southeast of Hubbard, consisting of one hundred and sixty acres, for which they paid twenty-one dollars and fifty cents per acre. A large part of it was new, unbroken ground, but they set to work diligently and placed it under excellent improvement and cultivation, making of it as good a farm as any in the township, and here they have established a very pleasant home. Here the family lived together until the death of the father, on march 12, 1888. Not long afterwards the children began to scatter, some marrying and now doing for themselves, all being very comfortably situated in different places. Gustave, of this review, remained with his mother on the home place and has successfully continued the work inaugurated by his father. On October 19, 1904, Gustave Boeke was united in marriage with Anna Hilker, daughter of Fred and Sophia (Klemme) Hilker, and this union has resulted in the birth of three children, Velma, born October 19, 1905; Bernice, born August 24, 1908, and Glen, born September 20, 1910. As stated above, the subject continued farming the homestead and in the spring of 1905 he bought out the other heirs and has since owned and operated the place. In 1911 he built a new house, attractive and modern in every appointment. He keeps a good grade of stock. Religiously he is a member of the Zion Evangelical church at Hubbard.
