469   HISTORY OF WRIGHT COUNTY                          

August H. Birkholz is one of the most substantial farmers of Middleville 
township. He was born in Germany, April 24, 1870, son of August Birkholz and 
grandson of Frederick Birkholz, both mentioned above. He was brought to 
Victor township, this county, when about ten years of age, and here grew 
to manhood. His opportunities for schooling were somewhat limited, but he 
has made up for this with sturdy intelligence and sound common sense. He was 
reared to farm pursuits, and remained at home until his marriage. He bought 
a place of eighty acres in section 29, Victor township, started developing it, 
and erected a log cabin. Into this cabin he brought his bride. They toiled 
together and achieved prosperity, one of their improvements on the place 
consisting of a frame house which they built onto their log house.
