  CHARLES W. SCHROEDER, a prominent farmer-citizen of Center township, who is the owner of a well-cultivated property in section 25 and vice-president and director of the Apple Creek Farmers Telephone Company, was born June 16, 1871, in Center township, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, son of Louis and Bertha (Wage) Schroeder. Mr. Schroeder's grandparents were natives of Germany who came to the United States and settled in New York, the grandfather working on the lake boats which plied out of New York until coming west to Wisconsin. Here the grandfather bought land and spent the rest of his life in farming, his death occurring during the early '70s. Louis Schroeder was fifteen years, of age when his parents brought him to the United States from Germany, and he had reached young manhood when they settled in Wisconsin. For a time he was employed on his father's farm, and he then purchased a property of his own in Center township, and here he lived until his retirement, since which time he has been living on the north side of Second avenue, between Dirke and Morrison streets, in Appleton. Charles W. Schroeder received his education in the district schools of Center township, and from the time that he left school until he was twenty-one years of age he worked on his father's farm. In 1893 he bought the farm which he now cultivates, and he has brought the land to a high state of cultivation, it producing large crops and furnishing excellent pasture land. He has a large modern house, substantial, commodious barns and other good buildings, and his farming is done with the most highly-improved farming machinery. In political matters he is a republican, and for the past fifteen years he has served district No. 3 as clerk of the school board. He and Mrs. Schroeder are members of St. John's Lutheran church of Center, and during the past twelve years he has been a member of the church committee. He is vice-president and director of the Apple Creek Farmers Telephone Company, and during the past ten years has served as agent for Center township of the Cicero Mutual Fire Insurance Company. On October 7, 1892, Mr. Schroeder was married to Carolina Tecklin, who was born October 1, 1872, in Center township, daughter of William Tecklin, a retired farmer of Center township, who has served as school director and treasurer. Her mother died in 1890. To Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder there have been born four children: Hulda, who was born September 22, 1893; Amanda, born August 23, 1899; Omer, born June.4, 1906; and Lillie, who was born December 28, 1910, and died in April, 1911.
