**********************************************************************

Henry Nolte, farmer of Roark Township, is the son of Henry and Mary
(Schaefer) Nolte, both of whom were born in Waldeck, Germany.  They
were married in that country, and of the six children born to them,
four of their births occurred in the old country and two after reach-
ing the United States.  The father was a farmer by occupation and,
after coming to America (1845), they settled in Gasconade County,
where both died.  The father was born in 1800, and died in 1875, and
the mother in 1807, and died in 1869.  Both were members of the Meth-
odist Episcopal Church, and the father was a Republican in politics.
Henry was born in Waldeck, Germany, in 1833, and when twelve years of
age came with his parents to Gasconade County, and the principal part
of his education was received in the old country.  After leaving home
he worked among the farmers until 1859, when he married Miss Martha
Humburg, a native of Hesse Cassel, Germany, born in 1839, and by her
became the father of nine children, five now living, four sons and
one daughter.  In 1878 his wife died, and the following year he marr-
ied Miss Louisa H. Gentner, daughter of G. Henry Gentner.  She was 
born in this county in 1841.  During the war, Mr. Nolte served three
months in the Home Guards, and a short time in the Enrolled Militia.
He owns 160 acres of land, the same as his father, and in that occu-
pation has been quite successful.  He is a Republican in politics.
