Hornung, pp. 717-719 The commercial world has come to recognize the farmer's importance and has surrounded him with many conveniences not thought of fifty or one hundred years ago. The inventor has given him the self-binder, the riding plow, the steam thresher, and many other labor-saving devices. And the tiller of the soil has not been slow to take advantage of the improvements thus invented and offered. Among the up-to-date farmers of Hardin county is William G. Hornung, of Tipton township, who was born on December 7, 1860, at Booneville, Missouri. He is the son of John Leonard Hornung, Sr., and wife, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work. The subject grew to manhood on the home farm in Tipton township, this county, and there learned the lessons of farming and stock raising which have assisted him so materially in subsequent years. He received his education in the district schools. In 1883 he was united in marriage with Lana Hoelscher, daughter of Charles and Katherine (Emhoof) Hoelscher. The father, who was born in Prussia on September 6, 1839, grew to maturity and was educated in his native land, and emigrated to America in 1860, settling first in Wisconsin, where he married Katherine Emhoof on November 17, 1862, in Monroe county, that state. They later moved to Grant township, Hardin county, Iowa, where they became influential among the early settlers and became substantial farmers. Their daughter, Lana, wife of Mr. Hornung, was born on December 22, 1863. It was in 1868 that this family took up their abode in section 2, Grant township. They had few neighbors, there being no houses west of them as far as the eye could reach. Mr. Hoelscher was influential in bringing many German settlers here. Politically, he was a Republican and at one time was county supervisor. William G. Hornung and wife became the parents of two children, John and Emma, the latter dying when four years of age. John married Emma Hoefer and they live on a farm in Tipton township, near the west border. They have one daughter Bernice. The subject's first wife died in 1893, and in the fall of 1894 he was united in marriage with Martha Mitterer, sister of A. W. Mitterer, whose sketch appears in this work, which contains a complete record of the Mitterer family, one of the best known and influential in the county. Mrs. Hornung is a woman of many praiseworthy traits and, like her husband, numbers her friends by the score all over the county. Two children, William and Glen, have been born to this second union. They are young men of fine personality and character. After the first marriage Mr. Hornung farmed three years for himself on rented land, then bought an eighty-acre farm in the northeastern part of section 34 and lived there two years, later buying another eighty acres in section 27, where he has since resided. He now owns two hundred and forty acres in his home farm, besides two other places, each of one hundred and sixty acres, one in section 15 and the other in section 16, Tipton township; he also owns forty acres in Grant township and some timber land in addition, making over six hundred acres all together. He has very valuable and desirable land and his home farm is one of the model places in his township, the improvements embracing everything modern and convenient and his home and surroundings are tasty and attractive. He has always kept a good grade of live stock and has met with encouraging success in whatever he has turned his attention to.
