Freiheit, Louis, farmer, was born in Worsetz, Prussia, December 1, 1835.
He remained there on a farm till twenty-five years old, when he came to
America, and engaged in farm labor in Green Lake county, Wisconsin. He
came to Chester in 1866, and bought one- fourth of section 11, which he
has handsomely improved. It was unbroken when it fell into his hands, but
is now under the plow, and graced with large and handsome buildings. At
one time Mr. Freiheit was three thousand dollars in debt, but is now
independent. He was a charter member of St. John's Lutheran church, and is
now treasurer of that body. Politically, has always been a republican. He
was married in June, 1871, to Angell Stemmenn, who was born in Hanover,
Germany. Their children were born and christened as follows: June 16,
1874, Henry; May 9, 1876, Emma; June 5, 1883, Lena.
