John August Kahl, an energetic farmer of Section 23, Prairie Farm Township, 
was born in a log cabin on the place where he still lives, April 10, 1885,
the son of John and Mary (Hendorf) Kahl. He was reared here, attended the
district school, and learned farming from his father. He now owns 120 acres 
of the home place. The residence is a pretty modern bungalow, the other
buildings are adequate and in good repair. General farming and dairying are
successfully conducted, and there is a good herd of Guernsey cattle, as well 
as a fine drove of swine. Mr. Kahl is well known throughout the community, 
and is as well liked as he is well known. He has served with credit on the 
school board. Mr. Kahl was married on Jan. 30, 1908, at Dallas to Edith 
Blake, the daughter of Fred and Minnie Blake. She was born at Dallas, Oct. 4, 
1886. Mr. and Mrs. Kahl have five children: Athly, Verna, Earl, Helen and 
Bryon.
