Conrad, Frank, Chester, farmer, was born near Arlow, Belgium, April 3,
1842. When he was fourteen years old his father, William Conrad, came to
the United States and settled on a farm at Port Washington, Wisconsin. His
mother, Barbara, died when he was five years old, and his father now
resides with him. Mr. Conrad never attended an English school. In 1867 he
came to this town and bought eighty acres of land on section 3, and he now
has two hundred acres of beautiful farming land, and is independent. In
1883 on one hundred and fifty acres he produced thirteen hundred bushels
of wheat, five hundred and fifty of barley, six hundred of oats and one
hundred and fifty of potatoes. The corn crop of the whole region was a
failure. Mr. Conrad was married in February, 1870, to Mary Gregoire, born
in the same locality as he. Their children were given them and christened
as below: July 19, 1871, Mary Josephine; November 5, 1872, John B.;
November 20, 1874, Michael; April 20, 1877, Paul; April 11, 1880, Joseph.
All the family are communicants in Belle Chester Catholic church.
