Boehlke, Charles A. (page 489), who is successfully engaged in general
farming and stock raising in Plainview Township, where he is a well known
and respected citizen, was born in Elgin Township, Wabasha County, Minn.,
August 15, 1884. His education was acquired in the district school and the
Plainview high school, his knowledge of agriculture in its various
branches being gained on his parents' farm of 143 acres. After his
father's death he rented the farm from his mother, and has since been
engaged in its cultivation, also operating 30 acres of his own. Besides
raising the usual grains, he keeps a good grade of stock, improving the
breed with blooded sires, and he is now numbered among the prosperous
citizens of his township. Aside from his direct farm interests he has an
interest in the local creamery. Mr. Boehlke was married November 3, 1908,
to Julia W. Zirbel, who was born in Minnesota City, Winona County, Minn.,
June 29, 1887. Two children are the issue of this marriage: Lucille H.,
born Oct. 31, 1915; and Dorothy La' Von, born August 3, 1918. Mr. Boehlke
and his family are members of the Lutheran church, and are popular in the
community for their good neighborly qualities.
