BENEDICT I. VETTER.

    Benedict I. Vetter, well-known grocer and retail liquor dealer at New Ulm,
this county, is a native son of Minnesota, having been born on a farm in the
neighboring county of Nicollet on May 16, 1885, son of Leonard and Anna Vetter,
well-known residents of the neighborhood in which they lived. Leonard Vetter was
born n Germany and was but two years old when his parents came to the United
States and located in Illinois. Later they came to Minnesota and homesteaded a
farm in Nicollet county, where they spent the remainder of their lives. Leonard
Vetter grew to manhood in Nicollet county, married there and began farming on
his own account, presently becoming the owner of a farm of two hundred acres in
West Newton township, on which he made his home until his retirement from the
farm, after which he moved to New Ulm. To him and his wife eight children were
born, of whom five are still living.

    Benedict I. Vetter was reared on the paternal farm in West Newton township,
Nicollet county, receiving his education in the district school in the
neighborhood of his home, and remained with his father until the latter's
retirement from the farm, in 1907. He then worked on various farms in that
neighborhood until his marriage, in 1912, after which he rented a farm in
Cottonwood township, this county, and there made his home until in Jure, 1914,
at which time he moved to New Ulm, where he opened a grocery and retail liquor
store and has ever since been thus engaged.

    In 1912 Benedict I. Vetter was united in marriage to Clara Weisner, daughter
of Joseph Weisner and wife, and to this union one child has been born, a
daughter, Lorraine. Mr. and Mrs. Vetter are members of the Catholic church and
take an active interest in parish affairs. Mr. Vetter is a member of the St.
Joseph Society and takes a warm interest in the affairs of that organization. He
is a Democrat and gives to the political affairs of the county considerable
attention.
