Hoelscher, one of the enterprising young farmers of Hardin county, for he has always put forth his best efforts when there was something worth while to be done and he has let no obstacles thwart his purpose, and thus he finds himself very comfortably situated while yet in the zenith of life. Mr. Hoelscher was born March 1, 1872, in Grant township, Hardin county, Iowa, and he has chosen to spend his life in his home community. He is the son of Charles and Catherine (Imhoof) Hoelscher, the father born in Prussia, September 6, 1839, and the mother was born in that country on May 7, 1841. This family came to America in 1860 and settled in Monroe county, Wisconsin, and there the parents of the subject were married on November 17, 1862. They continued to live there until 1868, when the moved to Hardin county, Iowa, and settled in section 2, Grant township, being the second family to settle in that section. They built one of the best homes there for those times, but it was destroyed by fire in March, 1881, and they soon rebuilt. There they prospered by reason of good management and close application, adding to the eighty acres which they first bought until they owned at one time six hundred and thirty acres and there, in connection with general farming, the elder Hoelscher raised a great deal of live stock and was an extensive feeder, becoming one of the substantial and influential men of his community. He was a Republican and held many township offices, including that of supervisor. He belonged to the Evangelical church. Learning the blacksmith's trade in Germany he worked at the same for eight years. His death occurred on November 16, 1890, his widow surviving until July 14, 1906. They were the parents of eight children, namely: Laura A., born December 22, 1863, died in May, 1893; she married W. G. Horning, of Tipton township, and they became the parents of two children; Dala, born September 8, 1865, is the widow of E. H. Meyer, of Marshall, Minnesota, and the mother of four children; Ernest A., born August 17, 1870, is a minister in the Methodist church and is now residing at Boulder, Colorado; William C., of this review; Emma, born October 18, 1874, is the wife of C. D. Hockett, of Redwood Falls, Minnesota, and they have one child; Charles, born March 31, 1876, who is a farmer at Mitchell, South Dakota, married Mabel White; John, born December 29, 1878, married Carrie White; they are living on a farm near Mitchell, South Dakota, and have two children; Catherine, born August 17, 1881, is the wife of Edgar White, of Redwood Falls, South Dakota, and they are the parents of six children. William C. Hoelscher was educated in the home schools and he lived at home until he was twenty-three years of age. He was married on December 26, 1895, to Augusta Kuhlmann, of Hubbard, Iowa, the daughter of Wilhelm Kuhlmann and wife, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this work. The subject has engaged in various lines of business, all with more or less success, but merchandising and farming have been his chief occupations. He is the owner of one hundred and fifty acres of the old home place and also has land in South Dakota. He has taken a great deal of interest in politics and has held several public offices. He and his wife belong to the Evangelical Association of Hubbard, Iowa. They located in Hubbard several years ago, where they have a beautiful modern home, well supplied with a choice selection of literature, and no family in this part of the county are more popular than they.
