Lorenz, Charles Henry (p. 601), a well known young business man of
Minneiska village, was born in Buffalo county, Wis., May 31, 1888, son of
Ignatz and Elizabeth (Walter) Lorenz. The father of Charles Henry was born
in Germany and the mother in Pennsylvania, the latter coming west to
Wisconsin when a young girl. Married in buffalo county, they resided there
for some years subsequently, and then, in 1894, crossed the river and
settled in Weaver, Wabasha County, Minn., where the mother is still
living, the father having died in 1906. They had a family of eight
children: Bertha, wife of John Becker, a farmer in section 34, Watopa
Township, this county; Winnie, who married Albert Synder (sic) and resides
in Idaho; Annie, wife of Ira Lowden; Louis, a resident of Addie, wife of
Bird Gage of Minneiska; George, who married Caroline Beman and lives in
Winona, Minn.; and Harry, who is now serving in the United States navy.
Charles Henry Lorenz was about six years old when he accompanied his
parents to Minnesota. His education was acquired in the local school and
after entering the ranks of industry he followed the carpenter's trade for
some four or five years. Later he became proprietor of a place of
refreshment in Weaver, followed the same business for a short time in
Kellogg, this county, and later for a longer period in Minneiska, to which
village he came in February, 1915. He is at present engaged in the sale of
non-intoxicating drinks, and cigars. His place of business was always
conducted in an efficient way, and he has the reputation of a substantial
and reliable citizen. Mr. Lorenz was married in 1909 to Louise Wolf, who
was born March 22, 1884, daughter of Henry and Sarah (Brown) Wolf, of
Minneiska. He and his wife are the parents of one child, Leo, who was born
March 16, 1912. The family are members of the Catholic church.
