Gottlieb Wirth is a native of this county and has spent his life of more
than half a century in the same township where he was born. He first saw
the light of day in Section 26, Prairie Farm, Sept. 19, 1870, the son of
Daniel and Katherine (Miller) Wirth, the pioneers. He was reared on the
home place and educated in the district schools. After his father's death
he took 130 acres of the farm. This he operated successfully, continuing
the improvements, until 1919, when he sold. He now lives in the same
township with his sister, Mrs. Oscar Meyer. He is doing excellent work as
road overseer and is also the caretaker at the German Evangelical Church in
Section 35, Prairie Farm Township. He is well liked by all who know him,
and is interested in everything that is for the good of the township.
