ADOLPH SCHUBERT

    Adolph Schubert, proprietor of the "Evergreen Stock Farm" located in Milford
township and accounted one of the best improved farms in Brown county,
Minnesota, was born in Wisconsin on January 20, 1862, a son of Frank and Mary
Schubert, both natives of Germany.

    Frank Schubert was but eighteen years of age when he came to this country
and located in Wisconsin, where for a number of years he worked as a farm hand,
It was there he was married, and purchasing a farm, continued to make that state
his home until 1866 when he came to this county and located in Milford township,
where Adolph now resides. Frank Schubert's farm consisted of one hundred and
sixty acres of unimproved land when he purchased it, and he industriously farmed
and greatly improved his holdings, so that at the time of his retirement he had
made wonderful strides toward reclaiming his land from the grasp of the
wilderness. His death occurred at New Ulm in 1907, where he had taken up his
residence after leaving the farm. Frank Schubert was a man who stood high in the
estimation of his friends, being very popular among the people of his own
nationality, and as an enterprising man he took a keen interest in local
affairs. He served as town clerk for some time, was township assessor for a
number of years and also county treasurer of Brown county for some time,
discharging the various duties thus devolving upon him in a manner satisfactory
to all interested. Frank Schubert was the father of nine children, seven of whom
are living at the present time.

     Adolph Schubert was a small boy when his parents came to this county and
his education was received in the early schools of Milford township. He remained
as his father's assistant until he was twenty-three years of age, when he was
married and then arranged to rent the farm from his father. He later came into
possession of the entire farm and now has three hundred and twenty acres, same
being considered about the best improved farm in the county. Since obtaining
possession of the place, Mr. Schubert has added about five thousand dollars
worth of improvements to land and buildings and has an attractive home. The farm
derives its name from the clump of evergreen trees surrounding the house and
this, with a spacious lawn, makes an excellent appearance. Mr. Schubert divides
his attention between grain growing and the raising of live stock, being
uniformly successful in his ventures.

     In 1885, Mr. Schubert was united in marriage to Angeline Richartz, daughter
of Theo Richartz, and to their union two children have been born, Theresa and
Martha. Mr. Schubert and family are communicants of the Roman Catholic church at
New Ulm and politically, he is an independent voter. As a representative citizen
of the county, it is with pleasure this short sketch of his career is included
in this volume.
