ALBERT AND EMMA BUTENHOFF

  Albert Butenhoff was born at Polomeranian, Germany, April 11, 1870. He 

came to America on a sailboat with his father and two brothers John and 

Gust. His mother died on the boat just before it got to America. His 

father had been married before so he also had a half brother named August. 

They first lived in Wisconsin. Albert married Emma Moll, who was born in 

Chicago. Her folks moved to Iowa where she met Albert. They heard that 

land was more available and had richer soil in Minn. So they moved to the 

Baker area. While they were in Iowa Carl, Albert, Fred, George and 

Theodore were born. Edward, William, Ella, Evelyn, Clarence and Leonard 

were born at Baker. Albert and Emma first rented the farm where Frank
