  C. H. KUNZE is a resident of Worthington township, where he is engaged in

farming the west half of section 21, of which he is the owner, as well as a

quarter section in Elk township. Mr. Kunze is of German birth, having been born

in Hanover June 2, 1850. He is the son of Henry Kunze and Mary (Luman) Kunze.

His mother died in Germany in 1870; his father died in Crawford county, Iowa.



  Mr. Kunze lived in his native country until sixteen years of age. He then set

sail for America in company with a sister and located in Jackson county, Iowa.

There he resided eight years, six years of the time being spent in working for

an uncle, and the remaining two being employed in farming for himself on rented

land. He removed to Crawford county, Iowa, in 1874, bought a 200-acre farm, and

made that county his home until 1895. He then sold out his interests there and

came to Nobles county, purchasing land in Worthington and Elk townships. He did

not at once move onto his land, but lived six months in Worthington, then

returned to his old home in Iowa, spent the winter there, and returned to his

new home in Nobles county in the spring of 1896. He then moved onto his

Worthington township property and has resided there since that time. He has been

treasurer of his school district for the last ten years.



  Mr. Kunze was married Feb. 15, 1876, in Germany, while on a visit to his

native country, to Sophia Elss. To them have been born the following children:

Henry, Worthington township; Willie, Christ, Frank, Bennie, Walter, Emma, Bertha

(Mrs. Ben Grove), Worthington township; Martha and Lottie. All except Henry and

Mrs. Grove reside at home.
