Zarling, William (page 772), one of the skilled agriculturists who helped to develop the resources of Highland Township, was a native of Germany. He married Catherine Laske, a native of the same county, and they settled in St. Charles Township, Winona County, Minn., where Mr. Zarling was engaged in diversified farming until 1892. He then sold out his interests there and came to Wabasha County, purchasing 360 acres in Highland Township, which farm he operated successfully until his death, August 24, 1909. His wife died April 2, 1917. They were the parents of eleven children, namely: Bertha, Lizzie, Herman, August F., Emil, Maggie, Lena, Luddie, William, Caroline and Albert.
