Baumgarten, Hon. Henry, (page 1153), is descended from German parents, and 
was born in Germany November 16, 1848. His education was obtained in the 
common schools of his native country and the balance of his youth was 
spent in the usual duties of farming. When about twenty years of age he 
came to this country and settled at first at Reedsburg, Wisconsin, in the 
summer of 1868. At this place he was engaged in farming. In 1874 he 
removed to Wabasha and worked one year for Lucas Kuehn, and started in the 
hotel business in 1878, having carried on the same until the present with 
good success. In 1883 he was elected representative from this district to 
the general assembly of the State of Minnesota by the democracy of Wabasha 
county, and was a member of the engrossing committee. In 1874 he was 
married to Emma Scholtz. He is a member of the I.O.O.F. and Turn Verein.
