NICHOLAS HINTZEN, proprietor of the La Crosse vegetable and fruit garden, was 
born January 17, 1826, at Strassum, Luxemburg, Germany. He went to France in 
1845, where he worked in a flouring-mill, and emigrated to America in 1849, 
and located in Pennsylvania, about twenty miles from Philadelphia, in March of 
that year, where he worked on a farm. He removed to Kenosha, Wis., in 1850, 
where he also worked on a farm. During that same year, he located in Prairie 
du Chien, where he peddled fanning-mills. August 5, 1851, he removed to La 
Crosse, and started a store, which he conducted up to 1863, when he kept a 
hotel until 1878, when he went into the gardening business. He now owns a 
garden of 22-1/2 acres on Twelfth street, and supplies the city with 
vegetables and fruit.
