              ROBERT C. DITTBENNER.

    Robert C. Dittbenner, a well-known and progressive young farmer of Eden
township, this county, manager of a fine farm of two hundred and forty acres in
that township, is a native son of Brown county, having been born on the farm
where he still makes his home, January 30, 1885, second and younger son of
August and Catherine Dittbenner, both natives of Germany.

    August Dittbenner was a boy when he came to this country with his parents
and he grew to manhood on a homestead farm in Cottonwood township. He learned
the blacksmith trade and for a time worked at that trade in New Ulm, also being
an active defender of that place, in the Indian massacre of 1862, later
homesteading a farm in Eden township, where he spent the rest of his life. He
and his wife were the parents of five children, the subject of this sketch
having three sisters, Emma, Adelia, and Lillian, and one brother, Ferdinand.

    Robert C. Dittbenner was reared on the paternal farm in Eden township and
has lived there all his life. He completed the course in the county schools at
the age of nineteen, in the meantime assisting his father in the development of
the home farm, and upon the death of his father assumed charge of the farm and
still lives there, being recognized as one of the most energetic young farmers
in the neighborhood.

    In 1909 Robert C. Dittbenner was united in marriage to Hulda Rohde, one of
the thirteen children of William Rohde and wife, of Eden township, and to this
union one child has been born, Bessie. Mr. and Mrs. Dittbenner are members of
the Lutheran church and take an active part in the various good works of their
home community. Mr. Dittbenner is an "independent" voter.
