Wedge, Ernest Arthur (page 234), a representative citizen of Plainview
Township, profitably engaged in its leading industry, agriculture, was
born in Dodge County, Wis., November 12, 1872, son of James and Isabelle
(Cheseboro) Wedge. At the age of four years he accompanied his parents to
Wabasha County, and a few years later took his place among the pupils in
the district school. In 1892 he was graduated from the Plainview high
school, after which he spent a year at Carleton College, Northfield, Minn.
Thus mentally equipped for the business of life, he rented his father's
farm of 100 acres in section 29, Plainview Township, where he has since
been engaged in general agriculture, including truck farming, giving
special attention at present to the raising of cabbage and onions, and
keeping Jersey cattle, dairying being an important part of his business.
He is a member of the Plainview Co-operative Creamery Association, and his
operations are being conducted with profitable results. As a live citizen,
interested in the affairs of the community, Mr. Wedge has given a part of
his time to public affairs, having served as town treasurer three years,
and for the past ten years as treasurer of School District No. 61. He was
married September 29, 1897, to Jennie B. Reich, who was born March 7,
1875, daughter of Herman and Anna (Mathews) Reich of Plainview. The home
circle of Mr. and Mrs. Wedge has been broadened and brightened by the
birth of three children: Josephine L., born June 16, 1903, who is a
student in the Plainview High School; Ellen M., born 16, 1903, who is a
student in the grade school; and Harry J., born April 3, who is attending
the district school. [Webmaster's note: There is no birth year given for
Harry.]
