Schroeder, Henry G. (page 453), a prominent young farmer of Elgin
Township, operating 219 acres of land, was born in Waupaca County,
Wisconsin, October 11, 1886, son of Emil and Josephine (Brandt) Schroeder.
He was educated in the village school of Elgin, Wabasha county, Minn., and
became industrially active as a farm laborer, following that occupation in
this vicinity until 1916. Then, with a laudable ambition, he started in
for himself, renting the Campbell farm in Olmsted County, which he
operated for three years. At the end of that time he bought his present
farm of 219 acres in sections 26 and 35, Elgin Township, where he is
successfully carrying on general farming and stock raising. He keeps good
cattle and swine, the latter bing of the Chester-White variety, with
full-blooded sires at the head of his herds. He has a good house, silo,
barns and outbuildings and his farm is well improved. Fraternally Mr.
Schroeder is a member of the Masonic order, including the Eastern Star
Chapter, while his religious affiliations and those of his family are with
the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Schroeder was married, February 21,
1907, to Mary E. Dunn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dunn. He and his
wife are the parents of four children: Lincoln D., born February 12, 1909;
Wayne A., March 13, 1911; Doris L., October 23, 1913, and Mary E., July 9,
1915. Emil Schroeder, father of Henry G. Schroeder, was born in the State
of Wisconsin in 1860, and spent all his life in that state, where he died
in 1893. His occupation was that of a farmer. His wife Josephine
subsequently married Fred Dosdale and now lives at Hammond, Wis. By her
marriage with Mr. Schroeder she had two children, Henry G. and Bertha. The
latter is now the wife of Henry T. Swanson of Rochester.
