Biographical Sketch of Fred. W. Hueller, Gasconade County, Missouri >From "History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford and Gasconade Counties", Biographical Appendix, Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1888. ********************************************************************** Fred. W. Hueller, sheriff of Gasconade County, like so many other well known citizens of the community, is of foreign birth, born in Prussia, April 16, 1850. His parents, Herman D. and Elizabeth (Schultz) Hueller were also natives of that country, and in 1854 immigrated to America, the father subsequently following agricultural pursuits in this county until his death in 1856; the mother died in 1858. Young Fred was rear- ed to a farming experience, with which calling he became acquainted at an early age, and in the meantime secured a common school education. At the age of twenty-one, on account of an accident, whereby his right hand was crippled, he was obliged to leave the farm, after which he entered a mercantile establishment as clerk, remaining so occupied for some seven years. In 1884 his qualifications for the position led him to be selected by the Republican party as a candidate for sheriff, and at the ensuing election he received the majority of the votes cast. In 1886 he was re-elected. November 4, 1886, Mr. Hueller was married to Miss Augusta Riek, a native of Gasconade County, born in 1864. They have one son. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
