Boehlke, Gustav E. (page 627), a prominent farmer of Watopa Township, was
born in Elgin Township, Wabasha County, Minn., April 3, 1875, son of John
and Christine (Reiter) Boehlke. The parents came to the United States from
Germany in 1872. Gustav E. acquired his education in his native township,
and in a German school at Potsdam, Minn., where he studied for a year and
a half. He remained at home and worked for his father until 1898, and then
rented different farms in Highland Township. Subsequently he came to
Watopa Township, where for eight years he has resided on and operated the
Howe farm in section 29. He was married November 19, 1900, to Minnie
Binder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August binder. Her parents were born in
Germany and came to this country in 1873, locating in Highland Township,
Wabasha County, Minn., where they both rented and owned farms, Mr. Binder
retiring from active work in 1908. He is still living in Highland
Township, and is a member of the Old Settlers' Association of Wabasha
County. Mrs. August Binder died in 1911. She was a member of the Methodist
Episcopal church, to which her husband belongs. They had six children:
Henry, Anna, Minnie, Julia, George and Augusta, of whom Julia is now
deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Gustav E. Boehlke are the parents of four children:
Loretta I., born April 4, 1902; Charles R., July 31, 1903; Reuben C.,
November 30, 1905; and Ella U., January 12, 1908. The religious
affiliations of the family are with the Lutheran church.
Note from Fellow Genealogist: I'm looking for a Gustav Boehlke who was
married to Pauline Tedrahn. If you have information, please contact Diane.
