RUDOLPH LUDWIG BOESE

AMONG the younger farmers of Barton County none is better known for their
progressive methods and enterprise shown in the cultivation of the soil, than
the subject of this sketch, Rudolph Ludwig Boese. He was born September 7, 1887.
His parents were John and Julia Boese who came to America from Poland-Russia.
His father first settled in Ohio and after remaining there two years came to
Barton County where Rudolph was born. His mother first settled in Pennsylvania
and came to Kansas in same year as her husband. He has one brother, Frank, and
three sisters, Martha, Grace and Louise. He was married in April, 1909, to Miss
Emma Rudiger and they now reside on a farm consisting of 200 acres, a short
distance south of Dundee. They also own a quarter section in Pawnee County. The
home place where they now reside is owned by Mr. Boese's father Mr. Boese has a
fine equipment of machinery and good live stock and his principal crop has been
wheat. He learned the best farming methods from his father who came here when it
required the best of farming to produce anything like a crop, but by persistent
effort he managed to improve his land and make it most productive. On the place
where they now reside there is a well built ten room house, a fine barn 32 by 60
feet and all the necessary outbuildings including an automobile garage. The barn
is well built and contains stall room for a large number of animals and the loft
permits storing a large quantity of hay. Mr. Boese gives personal attention to
the supervision of his farm and has one of the best improved and most highly
cultivated places in that section of the county. He is an enterprising and
progressive young man and being a product of this county takes a great interest
in any undertaking that he thinks is for the benefit of the community and the
betterment of the county.
