Wehrenberg, Charles (page 544), who in partnership with his brother,
Edward, is conducting a considerable farming business in Greenfield
Township, was born in this township October 5, 1877, son of John H. and
Anna (Frye) Wehrenberg. He acquired his education in the district school
and worked for his father until 1905, when he became his brother's partner
in the purchase and operation of the home farm of 320 acres in sections 20
and 29. In 1910 they bought an additional 80 acres in section 29, where
Charles is now residing. As general farmers and stock raisers the two
brothers are meeting with much success, due to industry and a practical
knowledge of the business. Their swine are of the Poland-China breed, and
to improve their stock they keep full-blooded sires. In 1919 Mr.
Wehrenberg built a new round barn 68 feet in diameter, and has made
general repairs on other buildings. For several years he has engaged in
operating a threshing outfit. Prominent as a citizen of his township, he
held the office of town assessor for three years, and was a member of the
town board of supervisors for an equal length of time. Charles Wehrenberg
was married October 18, 1910 to Lucy Graner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Graner, of Glasgow Township. He and his wife are the parents of two
children: Stanley, born January 1, 1912, and Beatrice G., born November 5,
1914. Mr. and Mrs. Wehrenberg are members of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and he belongs also to the Modern Woodmen of America and the
Modern Samaritans.
