White please note mistakes MICHAEL LEUCK It is a well authenticated fact that success comes as the result of legitimate and well~applied energy , unflagging determination and perseverance in a course of action when once decided upon. She is never known to smile upon the idler or dreamer and she never courts the loafer, and only the men who have diligently sought her favor are crowned with her blessings. In tracing the history of the influential farmer and representative citizen of Lincoln township, Shelby county, Iowa, whose name forms the caption of this review, it is plainly seen that the prosperity which he enjoys has been won by commendable qualities and that it is his personal worth which has gained for him the high esteem of those who know him. Michael Leuck, the son of Frank and Maggie ( Cottonberger ) Leuck, was born on September 5, 1871, in Keokuk county, Iowa. His father was a native of Germany, his birth having occurred in that country in 1834. He came to Keokuk county, Iowa, when a young man and engaged in farming, to which vocation he devoted his time and attention until his death, in 1878. His mother was also born in Germany, and after the death of her first husband married Peter Stiver, who is also deceased. She is now living at Panama, Iowa. Michael Leuck was one of seven children born to his parents, six of whom are still living. He received a good common school education in the schools of Keokuk county and when twenty~three years of age started to work for himself upon the farm. He first rented land in Shelby county and in 1898, the year before his marriage, he purchased one hundred and fiftynine acres of land in Lincoln township. With characteristic German thrift and frugality he has prospered and now has a beautiful home and one of the most attractive farms in the county. Since acquiring his farm, in 1898, he has placed eleven thousand dollars' worth of improvements upon it and has thereby greatly increased its value. He believes in keeping fully abreast of the latest developments in agricultural science, is a wide reader of all literature bearing upon successful agriculture and in this way has always secured the maximum retums from his efforts. While raising all of the crops common to this section of the state, he has laid particular stress upon the raising of stock and has found this a very valuable adjunct to his regular agriculttlral efforts. Mr. Leuck was married in 1899 to Angie Greiner, who was born in this county in 1878, and to this union have been born eight children, Anna, Nicholas, John, Michael, Marie, Kathrine, Joseph and Frank. Joseph is deceased and all the rest of the children are still living with their parents. The political party which claimed Andrew Jackson for its founder and originator has always claimed the support of Mr. Leuck. He has always been a great believer in good government, although not an active participant of his party. Religiously, he and the members of his family are loyal adherents of the Westphalia catholic church and contribute generously of their time and substance to its support. Fraternally, he is a member of the Knights of Columbus and is deeply interested in the work of that Catholic fraternity. Mr. Leuck has attained his present success solely through his own unaided efforts, having started in life at the foot of the ladder and gradually worked his way to the front. For this reason he is deserving of much credit for the fight he has made and the clean and wholesome life which he has lived while making his struggle for pecuniary independence. Such men are a blessing to any community and are the backbone of the nation which they honor and serve. from: St. Mary's Cemetery at Portsmouth, Iowa I~1~13 ~ STEIWER, Margaret ~ 28 DEC 1844~23 FEB 1916 ~ Geb.
