Charles Brunner, proprietor of a fine farm of 240 acres in section
35, Lima township, Pepin county, was born in Bierbach, Austria, Oct.
28, 1868, son of Ferdinand and Josephine (Bauer) Brunner.  The
parents, who came to this country from Austria, developed a good farm
in Lima township, on which their son, John F., now resides and where
Ferdinand Brunner died in 1918.  Charles attended school in the
Howard district, this township and resided with his parents until his
marriage, June 10, 1904, to Theresa Brantner, who was born in Lima
township on the farm of her parents, John and Barbara (Weisinger)
Brunner.  Her parents came to this country from Austria and became
prosperous farmers of Lima township, Pepin county.  The father died
in 1911 after a long and useful career, but his wife is still living
and resides with her son, John Brunner, Jr., who now owns the old
homestead.  At the time of his marriage Charles Brunner began
operations on the farm where he now lives and which he has since
greatly improved.  He has erected good modern buildings, well
equipped with all desirable conveniences and all of which are lighted
with electricity, which he also uses to some extent for power
purposes.  He carries on general farming on a considerable scale with
profitable results, and is also a stockholder in the Inter-County
Telephone Company.  He and his wife are the parents of three
children, Clara, Anna and Gertrude.  All are members of the Catholic 
church, Mr. and Mrs. Brunner also belonging to the Catholic Family
Protective Association, and he being a member of the Catholic Knights
of Wisconsin.
