Township, was born at Beaver Dam, Dodge County, Wis., May 10, 1864, the son
of Adam and Lena (Graff) Immerfall. These good people were born in Germany,
came  to America as young people, were married in Wisconsin, and farmed for
many  years  in  Dodge County, where the father was a prominent man, and an
influential  member of the town board of West Ford Township, as well as one
of  the founders of the Roman Catholic Church there. They came to Rice Lake
