Goetz - 

Fred G. Goetz, who for a number of years has been identified with the 
agricultural interests of Plainview Township, was born in this township 
October 28, 1873, son of Mr. and Mrs. August Goetz, Sr. He acquired his 
education in the public schools of the township, which he attended for 
the usual period, and on his parents' farm under his father's mentorship 
acquired a practical knowledge of agriculture and stock raising. Until 
1897 he remained on the home farm in section 30, and then purchased 
from his father 160 acres in section 30, Plainview Township, which he 
has since been engaged in operating. On this property he has made 
valuable improvements, having erected the present residence, put in 
water-works and a general modern equipment. In addition to the usual 
grains, he is raising cabbage and onions. Since starting in for himself, 
Mr. Goetz has been an industrious worker, and his efforts have borne 
such good fruits that he has recently sold his farm with the intention of 
retiring in the fall of 1920. He was married March 12, 1901, to Bertha 
Sagissor of Wabasha, who was born June 7, 1874. He and his wife are 
the parents of three children: Elsie A., born June 26, 1903; William G., 
November 11, 1904; and Evelyn E., March 15, 1909. William G. is now a 
student in the high school. Mr. Goetz and his family are members of the 
Lutheran church. He has long occupied a prominent place in the 
community as an able representative of its most important industry, 
and he and his family are highly esteemed.
