Zarling, August F. (page 772), who, though a comparatively young man, has
already acquired a competence in the farming industry, and is at present
living practically retired in Plainview, was born in St. Charles Township,
Winona County, Minn., May 22, 1886, son of William and Caroline (Laske)
Zarling. He was educated in the district schools of Winona and Wabasha
Counties, and grew to manhood and was trained to agriculture on his
parents' farm. In 1910 he started in for himself, buying a farm of 160
acres near the home place, and he and his brother Emil conducted the two
farms for six years. August then sold his farm and bought another, of 180
acres, which he greatly improved by fencing and rebuilding some of the
buildings and erecting others, including a silo and hog-shed. There he
followed diversified farming and stock raising, keeping a good herd of
Shorthorn cattle, with a full-blooded sire at the head. His management was
good and produced such satisfactory financial results that in the fall of
1919 he rented the place to a tenant and moved to Plainview village, where
he purchased a nice residence in which he and his family now make their
home. He is a stockholder in Smithfield Creamery in Highland township. Mr.
Zarling was married September 29, 1915, to May Miller, who was born in St.
Charles Township, Winona County, Minn., December 28, 1891, daughter of
Albert and Minnie (Millbrandt) Miller. The children of this union are:
Ruth May, born August 26, 1916; and Lorna Dora, born January 28, 1919.
