Pg 1009 HISTORY OF WRIGHT COUNTY 

  John Seeger, a pioneer of Frankfort township, was born in Wurttemberg, 
Germany, November 2, 1834, son of Michael and Caroline (Meyer) Seeger. 
In the family there were six children: Jacob, Michael, John, Johan, 
Catherine and Anna Marie. Of these, John was the only one to come to 
the United States. He arrived in Michigan in 1868 and the following year 
was married. A year after their marriage they came to Wright county and 
located on sixty-eight acres in Frankfort township. On the place a log 
cabin had been partially completed. He completed this cabin and moved 
into it. Then with no farming implement but a "grub" hoe, he started 
putting in crops. As the years passed he obtained prosperity, and modern 
buildings were erected. To his original tract he added twenty-three acres 
more. His wife died about 1880 at the age of thirty-eight, leaving seven 
children: Mary, Catherine, Regina, Louisa, Minnie, William and George. 
The family faith is that of the German Lutheran faith.
