Rose (1908) CHARLES S. MUCK. The oldest settler residing in Nobles county is the gentleman whose name heads this sketch, now a resident of Kinbrae. Forty-one years is the period of his residence in Nobles county-a record held by no other person. Charles Muck is the son of Stephen and Louisa (Brumbau) Muck, and was born in Schuyler county, Ill., April 27, 1865. His mother died in the year of his birth, and the next year his father took the children to Dallas county, Iowa. In the latter part of May, 1867, when the subject of this sketch was two years old the family moved to Jackson, Minn. There the children remained until the fall of the year and then joined the father on his claim on Graham lake in Nobles county. Charles Muck has ever since made his home in the county. He received his education in the country schools of Graham Lakes township, the first school he attended being in the open under a large elm tree on the island in Graham lake. He worked on his father's farm during boyhood days and made his home on the original homestead until 1901. That year he moved to Kinbrae, which place has since been his home. During the latter part of his residence on the farm he served four or five years as township supervisor.
