Hart A native of Germany, a citizen of the United States and a prosperous farmer of Sac county, Iowa, is William Seek, who is now operating a three-hundred-and-ninety-seven-acre farm in Eden township, as well as performing all of those duties which characterize the citizens of this great commonwealth. He is one of the hundreds of German families of this county who have attained a definite degree of success through the exercise of those qualities of uprightness and integrity which are the uniform characteristics of the Germanic people. William Seek was born May 16, 1845 in Germany, and is the son of Charles and Isabel (Saur) Seek. His mother died in her native land and he came to this country in 1869, with his father, with his sister Elizabeth, came a few years later in 1872. He spent some months in the state of New York after arriving here and three months in Illinois, arriving in Clayton county, Iowa, in 1870. For four years he worked as a farm laborer in Clayton county, and in 1874 came to Eden township, Sac county, and after working on farms in this township for two years, he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land at five dollars an acre. He has added to this from time to time, buying eighty acres in 1888, eighty acres in 1898 and eighty acres in 1903. He now has his farm well improved and has two sets of buildings on it. Mr. Seek was married in 1876 to Margaret Merkley, a native of Canada and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Merkley. Michael Merkley came to Eden township, this county, in 1875. Mr. and Mrs. Seek are the parents of three children: Mrs. Louisa Chamberlain of Eden township, who has three children, Gladys, Earl and Mabel. George, who is with his parents, and Curtis, deceased. Mr. Seek is identified with the Republican party, but has never been an active partisan. The family are loyal and consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal church at Schaller and rentier it their earnest support at all times. Mr. Seek has always felt it his duty to take an active part in such enterprises of public welfare as he felt were the benefit his community, and for reason is rightly regarded as one of the representative citizens of his township.
