GUS LAMBRECHT.

    Gust Lambrecht, farmer, one of the substantial citizens of Milford township,
Brown county, Minnesota, was born in New Ulm, this state, on May 16, 1863, being
the eldest child of August and Augusta Lambrecht. There were originally five
children in the family, but now only Robert, Ida and Gust are living.

    August Lambrecht was born on August 13, 1824, and his wife, Augusta,
November 22, 1844, both being natives of Germany. August was a shepherd in his
native land and emigrated to America when a young man. He located in Wisconsin
where he worked as a farm hand, was married and in 1862 came to this county and
located in New Ulm just a few days before the Indian outbreak. He labored for
the defense of that place and was twice wounded. After affairs had quieted down,
he rented a farm in Sigel township, where he remained for one year, and in 1863
homesteaded eighty acres in Milford township. He broke sod and put it under
cultivation and gradually increased his holdings until at the time of his death
in 1899 he was possessed of four hundred and forty acres of excellent land.

    Gust Lambrecht received his education in the early pioneer schools of
Milford township, making the most of the meager opportunities offered and farmed
with his father until 1895, when he purchased the farm of two hundred and twenty
acres on which he now resides and started out in life for himself. He has all
his land under cultivation and puts about one hundred and thirty acres to grains
each year and feeds for the market an average of eighty hogs annually. Through
careful attention to seed, etc., his yield on corn is something above the
average for this section. Within the last few years, Mr. Lambrecht has put some
six thousand dollars on his homestead in the way of improvements in buildings
and has an attractive home. A beautiful grove adds greatly to the appearance of
the place.

    In 1891, Gust Lambrecht was united in marriage with Emma Schroer, daughter
of Henry Schroer, and to their union have been born seven children, namely:
Alma, Arthur, Edwin, Alfred, Fredie, Martha and Elsie. Mr. Lambrecht and family
are members of the German Lutheran church, in the work of which they take a
commendable interest. Politically, he votes independently, and evinces more than
the usual interest in local political affairs. He is now a member of the school
board and has served as road supervisor, his duties being discharged to the
satisfaction of all concerned. As a man and citizen, he is eminently entitled to
the high esteem in which he is held by those who know him.
