FRANK HOLM.

    Frank Holm, one of the younger generation of farmers of Brown county,
Minnesota, was born on the same farm where he now resides in Sigel township, on
October 20, 1881. He is a son of Joseph and Frances Holm, both natives of
Germany. Joseph was but eight years of age when he was brought to this country
by his parents, the family locating in Sigel township and it was there young
Joseph grew to manhood. He received only the limited education which was
afforded by the schools of this section at that time and in later life was one
of the well-known farmers of his township, being actively engaged in that
vocation there until the time of his retirement in 1908. In that year he moved
to New Ulm, where he still resides, quietly enjoying the fruits of his many
years of labor. Although the Holm family was here at the time of the Indian
massacres, their loss fortunately was small as compared with that suffered by so
many other pioneers.

    Frank Holm is one of a family of eleven children, five of whom are now
living, those other than Frank being: Henry, Mary, Clara and Joseph. Frank Holm
was educated in the schools of Sigel township and was early trained in the work
of a farm. He remained with his father until twenty-one years of age and then
bought the two-hundred-and-eighty-acre farm where he now lives, and started out
in life for himself. He has been very successful in his undertaking and conducts
his farm work along modern lines of business, devoting his efforts to a well
balanced amount of grain and stock raising. There are on an average of fifteen
cows milked the year round on the farm, their product being disposed of to a
nearby creamery.

     In 1901, Frank Holm was united in marriage with Hermina Grau, daughter of
George Grau, and to their union six children have been born. These are Herbert,
Alma, Viola, Frances, Frieda and Leonard. Prank Holm and family are members of
the Holy Trinity Catholic church and his political support is given to the
Democratic party. He is regarded by his fellow-citizens as a man worthy of high
regard.
