Wehrenberg, Edward (page 539), a prominent farmer and citizen of
Greenfield Township, was born in this township, May 18, 1874. His parents,
John H. and Anna (Frye) Wehrenberg, were natives of Hanover, Germany, who
came to the United States in 1855, locating first at St. Louis, where they
remained for a year. In 1856 they came to Minnesota and settled in
Greenfield Township, Wabasha County, John H. Wehrenberg taking a claim of
320 acres in sections 20 and 29. In time he cleared most of the land and
erected a fine set of buildings, converting his place into a model farm.
There he resided, engaged in general farming, until his death, September
25, 1905. His widow is now residing with her son, Edward. Edward
Wehrenberg was brought up on the parental farm and educated in the
district school. Until 1905 he worked for his father, and then he and his
brother Charles bought the home property, purchasing the interests of the
other heirs. Here he and his brother are engaged in general farming,
feeding a large number of cattle and hogs, the latter of the Duroc breed,
with a full blooded sire at the head of the herd. Edward Wehrenberg was
married November 21, 1911, to Elizabeth Asher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
George Asher of Mondovia, Wis., who were farmers in that locality. Both
parents are now deceased, Mrs. Asher dying April 31, 1906, and Mr. Asher
June 9, 1917. They were members of the Catholic church. Their children
were George, Jr., John, May and Elizabeth. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wehrenberg
have one child, Charles W., born November 5, 1917. Their religious
affiliations are with the German Lutheran church, and Mr. Wehrenberg
belongs also to the Modern Woodmen of America, being head Council of his
camp, and to the Modern Samaritans.
