452          HISTORY OF WRIGHT COUNTY 

Henry Bremer, an early settler, was born in Germany, and came to America 
as a young man. For a time he worked in New York state. Then he came west 
to Minnesota. In the summer time he worked on the steamboats plying between 
St. Louis and St. Paul. In the winter he worked on a claim which he took 
in 1855, on the south shore of Waverly lake, in section 32, Marysville 
township. This tract was all wild woods. He cut down the trees and with a 
yoke of oxen started to break the land. The log cabin which he erected is 
still standing. He was married, about 1862, to Fredericka Schultz, also a 
native of Germany. He cleared forty acres of land, and was planning to build 
a new house, when he was stricken with a sun-stroke and died suddenly. He 
was a man of great strength, and was just at the height of a successful 
career when he died in 1868, at the age of thirty-four. He was also a devout 
man, and often walked many miles to attend service at the home of different 
early settlers. The children in the family were Minnie, Henry, Louis and Fredericka.
