FRED C. LUDWIG

FRED C. LUDWIG was born in Germany, January 1, 1871, and came to America when he
was fourteen years of age. He came to Barton County in 1885 and begun the
business of farming. He with his brother farms a half section of land in section
36, South Bend township. He also owns 640 acres of land in Texas. He was married
in Kansas City in 1892, to Miss Annie Alt and they are the parents of two
children: Eliza, 16 years of age and Rudolph, ten years of age, both of whom are
students in the Barton County schools. Mr. Ludwig's home place is located in an
ideal spot, the residence consisting of eight rooms in addition to closets,
pantries, etc., is well built and neatly furnished. The barn is 34 by 40 and has
a large loft where it is possible to store a good quantity of hay and grain. A
small orchard is found on the home place and it contains nearly all varieties of
fruits that are common to this, section of the country. Mr. Ludwig is a farmer
that believes in modern methods and his long residence in Barton County has
given him the experience necessary to get the best results from his efforts in
cultivating the soil. The home place is located about nine miles south and east
of Great Bend and Mr. Ludwig is known as an enterprising and progressive
citizen. He belongs to several German orders and is one of the best known men in
the county.
