Boldt, busily engaged in the pursuits of farming and stock-raising, is the owner of a tract of one hundred and fifty-three acres of arable land on section 26, Wapsinonoc township. His birth occurred in Germany on the 28th of October, 1879, his parents being William and Sophia (HARTZ ) Boldt, who were likewise natives of that country. They crossed the Atlantic to the United States in 1884 and, coming direct to Muscatine county, Iowa, they took up their abode at Wilton Junction, where they remained for five years. On the expiration of that period they removed to West Liberty, where they resided until 1895, when Mr. Boldt purchased and located on a farm. In 1910 he disposed of the property and returned to West Liberty, where he is now enjoying well earned ease. His wife was called to her final rest in July, 1909. Unto them were born eight children, namely: John and Henry J., twins; Cuna, who is a resident of Madison county, Iowa; Lena L., the wife of Chester Beach, of West Liberty; Emma, who is the wife of John Marquette and resides in Colorado; Rudolph and Charles, who are deceased; and one who died in infancy. Henry J. Boldt attended the common schools in the acquirement of an education and when a youth of sixteen began working as a farm hand, being thus employed until he was married at the age of twenty-five years. Following that important event in his life he rented a part of the farm which is now in the possession of himself and his wife and which embraces one hundred and fifty-three acres of land on section 26, Wapsinonoc township. The property is lacking in none of the conveniences and improvements of a model farm of the twentieth century and the well tilled fields annually yield golden harvests as a reward for the care and labor which is bestowed upon them. In connection with the tilling of the soil Mr. Boldt raises and feeds cattle and hogs and sheep, finding this also a profitable undertaking. In 1904 Mr. Boldt was united in marriage to Miss BLANCHE LANE, who was born in Muscatine county on the 28th of September, 1882, her parents being William and Rosanna ( WILKINS ) Lane. More extended mention of her father is made on another page of this work. Mr. and Mrs. Boldt have two children, namely: Vernon W., whose natal day was September 30, 1905; and Cecil Edwin, who first opened his eyes to the light of day on the 26th of October, 1907. Fraternally Mr. Boldt is identified with the Masons, belonging to Lodge No. 95 at West Liberty, in which he has filled some of the chairs. He is also a member of Camp No. 3855 of the Modern Woodmen of America and of Lodge No. 190 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, having filled all of the chairs in the latter. His religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Methodist Episcopal church, to which his wife also belongs. The period of his residence in Muscatine county covers more than a quarter of a century and he has gained an enviable reputation as one of its substantial agriculturists and esteemed citizens.
