GOTTLEIB STAAB, farmer, on sec. 20, Green Tp., was born Aug. 3, 1816, in 
Wutemburg, Germany, and is a son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Wiler) Staab.  He was 
educated and lived in the "Faderland" until 1847, when he sailed for the New 
World, and landed on the shores of this continent April 20 of that year.  He 
remained awhile in Pittsburg, Pa., going thence to Wheeling, W. Va., and from 
there to Ohio, where he labored as a farm hand.  Later on he bought 40 acres 
of land in Wheatland, Ind.  After pursuing agriculture there six years, he 
sold and came to Barton, Newaygo Co., Mich., where he bought 160 acres of 
land.  He lives there three years and cleared 20 acres, after which he sold 
out, and in the spring of 1860 settled on section 20, Green Tp., where he now 
owns 82 acres of land, with about 50 under tillage.

Mr. Staab was married in 1848, in Wheeling, Va., to Sophia Colder, who was 
born in Germany, and died June 10, 1874.  In 1878 Mr. Staab went to Germany, 
returning in the fall of 1879.  He was married in 1880 to Christina Guge, who 
died June 2, 1883.  Mr. Staab is a Republican in politics.
