                    GEORGE W. MAUCH.

     George W. Mauch, farmer of Milford township, Brown county, Minnesota, hold
in high esteem by his fellow citizens not only because of his excellent personal
characteristics, but also because of his ability as a business man and
up-to-date farmer, is a native of Wisconsin, born in Addison township,
Washington county, on September 9, 1865, a son of Mathias and Margaret (Moll)
Mauch, both natives of Wurtemberg, in Germany. Mathias was sixteen years of age
when he was brought to this country by his parents and they settled in Wisconsin
near the place where the Moll family located upon coming to this country, when
Margaret was twelve years of age. Both families entered land in Washington
county and there the young people were married and later came to Brown county,
this state, in 1868, Mathias Mauchi bought a farm of five hundred and twenty
acres in Milford township, there being at that time a small log cabin on the
land and about twenty acres under cultivation. Mathias farmed here until 1896
when he retired and took up his residence in New Ulm, where he died on January
9, 1912. Subject's mother is living at New Ulm. Mathias Mauch was one of the
citizens of this section who took an active interest in the development of
community life and for many years served as a member of the school board. He was
the father of four children: Henry, Victoria (Mrs. Hillesheim), George, the
subject of this sketch, and Lawrence.

     George Mauch received his earlier schooling in Milford township, later
going to Sleepy Eye for higher studies and became associated with his father in
the management of the extensive farm home. At the time of his father's
retirement, he rented the place until 1914, when he bought out the interests of
the other heirs. He has long since demonstrated unusual business ability and his
method of farming is that approved by the latest scientific research. He
balances his grain production with the live stock raised in a way to gain the
best returns, putting about one hundred and eighty acres per annum to corn and
smaller grains and producing from eighty to one hundred hogs annually for the
markets, also a carload of cattle in addition to what he keeps on the place. He
has a silo of two hundred tons capacity in addition to all necessary barns and
other buildings of latest approved type and a residence which is up-to-date in
every way. Mr. Mauch is well worthy in every way of the esteem accorded him by
his fellow citizens who have known him through a long number of years.

     On November 26, 1892, George W. Mauch was united in marriage with Louise
Haengartner, daughter of Andrew Haengartner, and to their union one child, a
daughter, Esther, has been born. Politically, Mr. Mauch is an independent voter
and one who takes more than a passive interest in the administration of local
affairs.
