Robert Ruhlow, a retired agriculturist of prominence in Pierce county, Nebraska, is one of those substantial citizens whose integrity and industry, thrift and economy have added so much to the material wealth and growth of Nebraska. Agriculture forms the basis of wealth in that part of the country, as indeed in most sections of the United States. It is therefore of great importance that the class of people who inhabit the great farming regions of the country should represent those elements of sterling worth go prominently displayed by the majority of the early settlers and their descendants. Mr. Ruhlow was born 4 March 1864, near Watertown, Wisconsin. His father William Ruhlow, was born in the province of Pomerania, Germany, in 1830, where after growing to manhood he followed the occupation of wagon maker. He emigrated to America in 1849, sailing from Hamburg to Havre, France, on a small sailboat, and there embarked in a sailing vessel and landed in New York after a voyage of six weeks. After landing, the family came west to Wisconsin, where the father took up forty acres of timber land. In 1867, Mr. Ruhlow, with his family, migrated to Madison county, Nebraska, coming by ox team with a party of Wisconsin people bound for the far west. He took up a homestead claim in Madison county, living for a time in a dugout, and later built a log house, for which they hauled the logs from the Elkhorn river. The family went to farming their land and managed to get along very comfortably, hauling their supplies from Columbus, Omaha and Sioux City. At this time this portion of the country was almost a wilderness, and deer, elk, and antelope were plentiful. There were but few, settlers here, and Indians were camped all over the country. The pioneers experienced many hard times and frights from the red skins, but never had any great trouble through them. The grasshoppers destroyed all their crops in 1873, 1875 and 1879, and in the blizzards of 1869, 1870, 1873, 1880 and 1888 caused them much suffering. Robert Ruhlow was out in the blizzard of October 1880, attempting to save their stock. In 1886 Mr. Ruhlow, with his father, took a tree claim in Pierce county, Nebraska, in section thirty township twenty-six, range three, which is now a well improved farm and the residence of our subject until February 1911, when he retired from farming and became a resident of Pierce. Mr. Ruhlow was married in 1887 to Miss Bertha Barfknecht, and they have nine children: Mabel, who died when a small child; Albert, Alvina, wife of Anton Bokemper, has one child; and Julius, Nettie, Liddia, Edna, Walter,and Ruth. Mr. Ruhlow bought his father's interest in the land he lived on for so many years, and owns three hundred and twenty acres, twenty acres of it covered with a grove of large trees, their own planting. Mr. Ruhlow worships at the German Lutheran church, and is a member of the Woodmen lodge. He is a democrat and served as school treasurer. Contributor: Stone hunter (47845042)
