Charles T. Bader, town clerk, Kennan, Price county, was born at S.
Germantown, Washington county, Wis., September 4, 1868.  His parents,
Christian and Minnie (Thierfelder) Bader, were natives of Baden,

the oldest of four children, and received a common school education,
and at fifteen began to learn harness making.  Two years later he
became clerk in a general store in Germantown. In 1888 he came to
Kennan and opened a store, which he sold a few months later. In
politics he is a democrat, and has held the office of town clerk since

school treasurer, notary public, etc.  Mr. Bader is an intelligent and
enterprising gentleman, who enjoys the esteem of his fellow townsmen.
