Mike L. Bauer, a prosperous farmer residing in section 35, Lima
township, Pepin county, was born on the farm where he now lives,
Sept. 25, 1880, son of Louis and Teckla (Roessler) Bauer. In his
boyhood he attended district school, residing with his parents until
he was 21 years of age. He then took charge of the homestead and
operated it for three years, afterwards buying a farm at Rock Falls,
Dunn county, on which he remained seven years. Then selling that
farm, Mr. Bauer returned to the old homestead, and, buying 85 acres
more land, thus became possessed of a farm of 185 acres. He is giving
special attention to dairying and raising cattle and hogs, breeding
up to high grade stock. In the fall he operates a threshing outfit.
Mr. Bauer was married Feb. 12, 1901, to Anna Youngman, who was born
in Austria, daughter of Anton and Hannah (Kines) Youngman. Her
parents came to America from Austria in 1894, locating in Lima
township on a farm near Lima church. From that locality they
subsequently removed to Rock Falls, Dunn county, where Mr. Youngman
is still engaged in farming. Mrs. Youngman died in 1917. He and his
wife were the parents of nine children, six of whom are now living.
Their daughter Anna, who was the fifth in order of birth, attended
school in both Austria and Lima township, Pepin county. Mr. and Mrs.
Bauer have nine children, all residing at home, whose names
respectively are: Anton, Lucy, Carl, Johnnie, Henry, Mike Jr.,
Philip, Mary and Dora. The family are members of the Catholic church
at Lima, Mr. Bauer also belonging to the Catholic Knights of
Wisconsin. An active and enterprising citizen, he has gained a
prosperous condition in life and is a man widely known and respected.
