271               HISTORY OF WRIGHT COUNTY

Martin C. Hackbarth, a substantial resident of Albion township, was born 
in Germany, January 13, 1861, son of Wilhelm and Wilhelmina (Ristow) 
Hackbarth. He was reared in Germany, and came to America in 1879. For 
three years he worked in New York. Then he came to Wright county and 
for one year lived in Howard Lake. It was in 1884 that he came to Albion 
township and secured sixty-eight acres in section 15. The tract was 
covered with timber, no clearing had been made, and no buildings had 
been constructed. He erected a log house, 16 by 30 feet, with a 
shingle roof and a board floor. He also built a log barn 16 by 24 
feet. He started with a cow, two pigs and ten chickens. He purchased 
a pair of steers and broke them to assist in the farm work. By hard 
work he has prospered, and he now has as good a farm as is to be found 
in the township. Mr. Hackbarth was married November 15, 1881, to 
Augusta Bobrowski, daughter of John and Sophia (Yonke) Bobrowski, 
farmers of Victor township. Mr. and Mrs. Hackbarth were the parents 
of fourteen children. Wilhelm assists in operating the home. He 
married Martha Newmann, and has two children. Marie married Peter 
Schoen. Emma maxried Benjamin Hartman. Bertha married Albert Neusteller, 
who died March 6, 1915. Henry is in South Dakota. Ida is at home. 
Emil, Martha and August are in North Dakota. Karl, Ernest, Lillie 
and Margaret are at home. One died in infancy. The mother of these 
children died March 3, 1905.
