AUGUST HINTZMAN, a well known and respected farmer of the
town of Menomonie, proprietor of what is known as the Grand
View Guernsey Farm in Section 4, was born in the town of
Concord, Jefferson County, Wis., Nov. 10, 1863, son of
William and Wilhelmina (Lemke) Hintzman.  He was still a
babe when he accompanied his parents to Dunn County and
unconscious of the trouble which visited the family two days
after their arrival, when two of his brothers were drowned. 
As he grew up he attended district school and helped his
father on the home farm, becoming an expert agriculturist.
In 1891 he rented the farm and subsequently operated it on
his own account, buying it in 1895.  He has since remained
the proprietor and has made a number of valuable
improvements, having cleared considerable land and erected a
full set of good buildings.  As a dairyman he has made an
excellent record, having a large herd of Guernsey cattle,
with a full bred sire.  He is also a stockholder in the
Downsville Cooperative Creamery and has served as school
clerk of School District 9.  Mr. Hintzman was married in the
city of Menomonie on April 15, 1891, to Emma Jabusch, who
was born in Deer Park, St. Croix County, Wis., March 2,
1869, daughter of John and Louise (Luning) Jabusch.  To this
marriage five children were born, all of whom are living
except Henry W., born Sept. 1, 1892, who died from the "flu"
on Feb. 8, 1920.  The survivors are as follows:  Luella,
born May 17, 1896, now Mrs. Frank Lausted of the town of
Tainter and the mother of one child, May Louise; Evelyn,
