  HARRY RUPRECHT, breeder of Hereford cattle and an extensive grain and hay

farmer, has his farm home within the limits of the village of Bigelow. He was

born in Galena, Ill., March 17, 1871.



  Frank Ruprecht, the father of our subject, was born in Prussia Dec. 24, 1824,

where he resided until 1859, securing an education and working as a clerk.

Coming to the United States in 1859, he located in Galena, Ill., where for

twelve years he engaged in mercantile pursuits. Removing to Missouri, he engaged

in the mercantile business several years, and then moved to Bigelow, where he

has since resided. The mother of our subject is Mary (Welp) Ruprecht, who was

born in Wisconsin in 1844. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ruprecht are the parents of six

children: Lou, Harry, Emma, Pauline, Anna Belle and May.



  Until he was fourteen years old Harry lived in Galena, attending school. He

came to Nobles county in 1885 and located with his parents on the farm where he

has since lived. He farms eleven acres in the village limits, upon which the

house is located, the southeast quarter of section 31, Ransom, and the northwest

quarter of section 27, Ransom, land which came into the possession of his

grandfather, Gerhard Welp, in 1884. Since the death of his grandfather in 1894

Harry has had the management of the farms.



  Mr. Ruprecht is a member of the Bigelow village council and has held several

offices of trust within the gift of his neighbors.
