We don't know Margaretha's maiden name. They originally farmed in Deep Creek Township and later retired to Goose Lake. Mention of the family can be found in the biography of the youngest son, Christian. The father (Otto), who was a laborer, came to America in the year indicated above (1880), landed at New York and came by rail to Clinton county, Iowa. When he came he had very small means and for the first year he worked as a farm hand. The second year he bought a small farm, and he found by this investment that he had hard work ahead, but was equal to the occasion. In 1898 he sold out and bought property at Goose Lake, remaining retired until 1901, when he sold out and has since made his home with one of his sons. By hard work and honest dealing he created a competency for his old age. In politics he was independent and claimed the right to vote for the man of his choice, regardless of politics. He never aspired to office himself. He was reared in the Lutheran church, from which faith he never departed. He is social and enjoys his friends around him, charitable to the afflicted and needy, a good friend and neighbor. He is widely known and highly respected and his honor and integrity is above reproach. He is now, at the ripe age of eighty-two years, well preserved and hearty. His wife yet survives, at the age of eighty-eight years. She belongs to the same church. She is his second wife, and was a widow, Margaret Wiese, with two children, whom he reared and brought to this country. His first wife and mother of the subject died in the old country, where he married the second wife. By the first wife, he had five children, namely: John, who died in 1881, aged twenty-three years; Dora, Mrs. Gosch, of Goose Lake; August is a farmer in Jackson country; Herman, who lives in Waterford township; and Chris, of this review.
