Portrait & Biographical Record of Dubuque, Jones and Clayton Counties, 1894, 
Chapman Publishing Company. 

F. E. BEHRENS, a popular and well known citizen of Dubuque, now engaged in the 
practice of law, was born in Preston, Jackson County, Iowa, May 5, 1872, and 
is the son of Charles Behrens, a native of Germany, who settled in Jackson 
County at an early day. His wife bore the maiden name of Sophia Hasse, and was 
also a native of Germany. 

In the county of his nativity, the subject of this sketch spent the days of 
his boyhood and in its public schools acquired his early education. He was 
graduated on the completion of the prescribed course of study from the Preston 
High School, after which he spent one year in the Normal School of Dixon, 
Illinois. Wishing to enter the legal profession, in the Fall of 1891 he became 
a student in the Law Department of the State University of Iowa, at Iowa City, 
from which institution he was graduated in the Spring of 1893. He was then 
admitted to the Bar, and in August of the same year he came to Dubuque, where 
he opened an office and has since conducted a general law practice. He is a 
young attorney, but possesses good ability, is enterprising and ambitious and 
will no doubt steadily work his way upward until he attains a prominent 
position at the Dubuque County Bar. In his political views he is a Democrat. 
In manner Mr. Behrens is genial and pleasant and the social qualities of his 
character make him a favorite with all with whom business or social relations 
have brought him in contact.
