540           HISTORY OF WRIGHT COUNTY 

  Andrew E. Borngesser, a wide-awake, active farmer of Rockford township, 
was born on the old homestead where he still resides, July 20, 1873, son 
of Andrew and Anna Borngesser, the pioneers. With the exception of two years 
in Minneapolis and one year in Hanover, he has spent his life on the home 
place. He attended the district schools, helped with the farm work, and led 
the life customary for boys of his age and time. Since taking charge of the 
place he has made many improvements, erected modern farm buildings and 
developed the land. He carries on general farming and makes a specialty of 
raising good stock. He has been clerk of the school district No. 54 for the 
past three years. Mr. Borngesser was married May 28, 1896, to Elizabeth 
Roloff, daughter of Charles and Minnie (Berrans) Roloff, and they have one 
son, Edward. Three of their children, Nora, Walter and an unnamed infant, 
are dead. The family attend the Lutheran church at Hanover.
