Documentation: from the book "Dunn County History":

Carl Labs, an early settler in town of Eau Galle, but now deceased, was
born in Pommern, Germany, where he grew up and learned the blacksmith's
trade.  Married in his native land to Henrietta Thurow, he came with her in
1866 to the U.S., settling in Milwaukee, where he worked at his trade of
blacksmith.  After a residence there of three years they moved to Dodge
County, WI, where they were engaged in farming until 1874, in which year
they came to Dunn County, Mr. Labs buying 40 acres of wild land in Section
5.  There was a log cabin on the tract, into which he and his family moved
and he added to it a set of out-buildings and operated that farm until
1903, in which year he sold it to his son Charles, taking up his home with
another son, Gust, who owns a farm in Dunn County, situated partly in the
town of Weston and partly in that of Menomonie.  There Carl Labs died March
8, 1923 at the venerable age of 92 years.  His wife had passed away some
years previously in  October 1907.! 

They were the parents of six children:  Amelia, now Mrs. Fred Eckert of
Menomonie; Gust of Menomonie; Mary, who married August Elfman and is now
deceased; Charles of Elmwood, WI; Rose, now Mrs. August Beauheusen of
Beloit, WI and Ida, who is Mrs. August Stark of Janesville, WI.
