Herman Zuehlke, now living retired at Barron, was born in Germany, and was
there educated and reared to manhood. He came to America in the early
eighties, and with headquarters at Menomonie, Dunn County, this state,
worked for several years for Knapp, Stout & Co. Then for two years he
worked as a sawmill employe in Rice Lake. In 1896 he bought 100 acres of
wild land in Section 30, Dallas Township, put up a good set of buildings,
and cleared seventy acres. There he carried on general farming and dairying
until 1920, when he retired and moved to Barron, where he now lives. He is
held in esteem and respect by all who know him. Mr. Zuehlke was married on
April 26, 1889, at Dallas, Wis., to Lena Radtke. This union was blessed
with six children: Martha, born June 16, 1892, is now the wife of Fred
Glaser, of Dunn County, this state; Paul, born Feb. 4, 1894, is a farmer in
Prairie Farm Township; Alma, born June 13, 1896, is residing at home;
August, born June 4, 1897; Elizabeth, born May 7, 1901, now the wife of
Albert Kalenbeck, of Prairie Farm Township; and Marie, born Jan. 13, 1903,
