  BERNHART DRINKS, who is devoting his energies to the cultivation of a well-improved farm of 120 acres in Greenville township, Outagamie county, was born September 9, 1845, in Saxony, Germany, and is a son of Fred and Anna (......... ) Drinks, both of whom were born in the Fatherland in 1813. After serving some time in the German army, and later engaging in agricultural pursuits, Fred Drinks brought his family to the United States in 1847, first locating at Granville, Milwaukee county, on a twenty-five-acre farm, and in 1862 removing to Outagamie county and purchasing the present farm of Bernhart Drinks. Here they resided during the balance of their lives, Mr. Drinks passing away in 1877, and his widow surviving until 1891. Of their five children, Bernhart is the only survivor. He received his education at Granville, where he attended school but one year, his services being needed on the home farm. He accompanied the family to Greenville township in 1862, and in 1864, when nineteen years of age, he enlisted in Company A, Fiftieth Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, for service during the Civil War, under Captain John C. Spooner. He served creditably for seven months, during which time he was not wounded, nor did he have any hospital service, and on his return home took charge of the farm, on which he has continued to live to the present time. His whole time and attention have been given to operating this property, and with the aid of his sons is now raising large crops. In June, 1868, Mr. Drinks was married to Katharine Strobie, who was born at Germantown, Washington county, Wisconsin, May 10, 1845, daughter of Gunder and Elizabeth (Wild) Strobie, the former born in 1800 and the latter in 1804, in Germany. They came to America in 1841, first settling on a farm in Washington county, Wisconsin, where they resided until 1868, at which time they purchased a farm in Grand Chute township. Mr. Strobie died four years later, and his widow passed away in 1878. Of their twelve children, three are now living: Louise, the widow of Edward Lite, a resident of Appleton; Joseph, who is retired and lives on the island; and Mrs. Drinks. Mr. and Mrs. Drinks had eleven children: Nelson, born June 24, 1869, a mason by trade, who is single and lives with his parents; Frank, born December 20, 1870, a blacksmith of the village of Center; Josephine, born August 7, 1873, who died in 1895; Jessie, born February 3, 1874, died September 12, 1910; Clara, born September 7, 1877; Charles, born November 14, 1875; Emma, born January 18, 1881, who died in February, 1900; Hattie, born January 18, 1883, who died September 29, 1909; Louise, born March 23, 1884, residing at home; Pauline, born February 23, 1886, the wife of James Berg a resident of Grand Chute; and Minnie, born September 15, 1888, residing at home.
