  GUST ASSMAN, who has a reputation as a judge of good horses that is second to none in the township of Grand Chute, has been a resident of this locality for many years, and has been prominently identified with public matters. Mr. Assman was born January 13, 1858, in West Prussia, Germany, and is a son of August and Mary (Schlurskie) Assman, the former born July 20, 1821, and the latter born May 5, 1822, both in Prussia.. They came to America in 1867, locating first at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Mr. Assman worked at the blacksmith trade, and later followed that occupation at West Granville, Wauwatosa and Appleton, in which latter city he located in 1874, and from which he eventually removed to Chicago, where he lived retired until his death, January 11, 1908. Mrs. Assman died May 4, 1905. They were the parents of eight children: Caroline, the wife of August Klein of Chicago; Johanah, wife of Christ Schiburskie of Milwaukee; Gust; Robert, a horseshoer of Appleton; Bertha, wife of Samuel Hoh, an employe of the Coated Paper Company of Appleton, and three who are deceased. Gust Assman attended the public schools of his native country, and later went to school in Granville, Wisconsin, and in his youth learned the trade of blacksmith with his father, with whom he worked, in addition to looking after the farm which he owned in Grand Chute township. Later he gave up blacksmithing to give his entire attention to the farm, but after two years sold out and purchased another property adjoining the city limits of Appleton. He carried on operations there for fourteen years, and located on his present eight-acre property which he had purchased two years previously. Since that time Mr. Assman has devoted most of his time to buying and selling horses. He is considered one of the best judges of horseflesh in the township, if not in the county, and he has also done much in the line of breaking colts. Mr. Assman is a director of the Farmers' Home Insurance Company of Hortonville. In political matters he is independent, and is at present township supervisor, serving on the board with Assemblyman Ballard, in whose absence he acts as chairman. His religious connection is with St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church. On April 25, 1881, Mr. Assman was united in marriage with Katie Goebel, who was born in Michigan, November 11, 1857, daughter of Conrad and Katharine (Lochman) Goebel, natives of Hesse Darmstadt, Germany. They were married in Canada and for a time lived in North Tonawanda, later removing to Michigan, from whence they came to Outagamie county about 1860. Mr. Goebel was engaged in farming and speculating in Calumet county for a time, and about 1881 went to Minnesota, where he became an extensive real estate dealer, dying in Austin, October 30, 1909, his wife having passed away May 2nd of that year. They had four children: Mary, who is deceased; Katie, who married Mr. Assman; Edward, a resident of Austin, Minnesota; and Henry, who lives in the West. One child was born to Mr. and Mrs. Assman: Emma, born May 12 1872, who died aged about six months.
