  JOHN ALTHOFF farms 240 acres of land in Olney township, his home place being

son of William and Kate (Vogelsberg) Althoff, of Grand Prairie township, natives

of Germany and Wisconsin, respectively.



  In his native county John resided until eight years of age. He then came to

Nobles county with his parents and resided on his father's farm in Grand Prairie

township until 1902. That year he moved onto his father's Olney township

married the second time at Ellsworth on Jan. 9, 1906, to Lena Martini, a
