Blattner – 

Julius B. Blattner, an industrious and well to do farmer of Oakwood 
Township, operating 200 acres in sections 20 and 21, was born on Long 
Creek, this township, October 11, 1869, son of J. H. And Ernestina 
Blattner. He was educated in the rural schools and followed agricultural 
pursuits on his parent’s farm until attaining his majority, at which time 
he bought his present farm. On this he has made a number of improvements, 
including considerable fencing, and is carrying on diversified farming 
with much success, raising grade Shorthorn cattle and Chester-White swine. 
He belongs to the Modern Woodmen of America, and religiously to the 
Methodist Episcopal church. Politically he is a Democrat and formerly 
served in the office of constable. In 1914 he had the misfortune to lose 
his left leg as the result of blood poisoning. Mr. Blattner was married 
June 1, 1881, to Amanda Polson, daughter of Emric and Sophie (Johnson) 
Polson. He and his wife have been the parents of ten children: George, 
Ella, Henry, Elmer, Lester, Eli, Julius, Jr., Arthur, Lulu and Vera. 
Ella is the wife of William Rosenberg, a shoemaker of Plainview. Henry 
is operating a farm of 160 acres in section 9, that was bought by his 
father in 1903. Elmer is now conducting the home farm. Lulu is a resident 
of Rochester, Minn.
