Eggers, Henry H. (page 312), who is successfully engaged in the produce
business in Plainview, was born at Hammond, Wabasha County, Minn., August
20, 1872, son of Joseph and Amelia (Schrew) Eggers. After leaving school
he worked a number of years for Landon and Buchard. Then he followed the
carpenter's trade for a few years. In 1902 he moved to Hyde Park Township,
taking up farming for three years. In 1905 he returned to Plainview and
managed the seed business for Mr. Buchard until 1915, when he opened his
present produce business. He handles various kinds of produce, including
poultry (live and dressed), eggs, cream, seeds and sand. He has become one
of the prosperous merchants of the village, and for the last three years
has been ably assisted by his wife, who attends to the books, besides
assisting him in other branches of the business. They have just bought the
building on the corner of Jefferson and Broadway, consisting of two
stories and basement, which is entirely occupied by their rapidly growing
business. The marriage of Mr. And Mrs. Eggers took place November 28,
1894, at Wabasha. Mrs. Eggers, whose name in maidenhood was Minnie
Siercks, was born in Winona, Minn., December 24, 1876, daughter of Hans
and Dorothy (Stark) Siercks. Her parents were natives of Germany who came
to America young and were married in this country. Her father was a
laboring man nearly all his life, but for ten years he farmed near
Hammond, this county. He is still living, and in 1919 had attained the age
of 84 years. His residence is with his daughter Emma, at Millville, his
wife having died in 1888. Their children were: Bertha (Mrs. John Eggers,
of Rochester), Will, who died young, Otto, Emma, Anna, Minnie, Helen and
Fred, the two last mentioned of whom are now deceased. Emma is the widow
of Claus Schuchard. Mr. And Mrs. Henry H. Eggers are the parents of four
children: Helma D., born July 17, 1896, who is residing with her parents;
Arnold S., born June 19, 1899, who after graduating from the Plainview
high school in 1918, entered a school of engineering at Milwaukee; Harvey
L. born January 14, 1905; and Thomas H. born January 24, 1912. The family
are affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal church. Politically Mr. Eggers
is a Republican.
