Christian Uhlenbock, a farmer and stockman of Springfield township, owner of 
197.5 acres of splendid farm land in sections 26 and 27, land which he has 
accumulated and paid for since 1887, is a native of Germany, but a loyal, 
progressive American citizen whose industry and enterprise is worthy of 
commendation. Mr. Uhlenbock was born in Lippe-Detwold, Germany, the son of 
Christian and Wuhelmina (Hagemann) Uhlenbock, who spent all of their lives in 
Germany. A younger brother of the subject, Anton Uhlenbock, lives in Springfield 
township. Christian Uhlenbock was reared and educated in his native country, 
followed the trade of brick mason during the summer seasons and in winter 
followed the trade of butcher. He left Germany in 1882 and came to Henry County, 
Missouri. During his first two years in this county he worked at farm labor and 
then rented land for three years. In 1887 he bought his present farm of 197.5 
acres and has made many substantial improvements on the place. Mr. Uhlenbock is 
a breeder of high grade Duroc Jersey hogs and Shorthorn cattle. In addition to his 
farming interests, he is a stockholder of the First National Bank of Windsor, 
Missouri. October 25, 1883, Mr. Uhlenbock was united in marriage with Miss 
Henrietta Griefe, born July 17, 1858, at Lippe-Detwold, Germany, and came to 
America in 1882 on the same ship which carried her husband. For further 
particulars concerning the Griefe family history, the reader is referred to the 
sketch of Fred Griefe elsewhere in this volume. To Christian and Henrietta 
Uhlenbock have been born two children: William Frederick, aged thirty-one years, 
and Henry Christian, the latter of whom is deceased. Mr. Uhlenbock is a 
Republican and he and Mrs. Uhlenbock are members of the Baptist Church.
