ADOLPH BOETTCHER (1888)

Adolph Boettcher, Burton township farmer, was born in Germany February 6,
1883, a son of Gottfried and Johanna (Miller) Boettcher, now residents of
Bellevue, Washington.

The Boettcher family came to America in 1884, farmed in Illinois a few
years, and came to Yellow Medicine county in 1888.  The head of the family
bought the southeast quarter of section 14, Burton township, and engaged in
farming it many years.  Adolph was brought up on that farm, and in 1907 he
rented the home farm and has since operated it.  He raises stock and engages
in farming along up-to-date lines.  His plowing is done by a Hackney auto
plow.  Mr. Boettcher is clerk of school district No. 74.

Mr. Boettcher was married in Yellow Medicine county February 23, 1907, to
Margretta Hay, who was born in the county June 14, 1883.  She is a daughter
of John and Etta (Shepherd) Hay, natives, respectively, of New York and
Wisconsin and now residents of Burton township.
