  HERMAN BONNIN, chairman of Liberty township, and one of the leading agriculturists of this section, has been closely identified with public and agricultural affairs here for a number of years. He is a son of William Bonnin, who was born in Germany and came from that country to the United States in 1857, with his wife, Rosa (Klaveter) Bonnin, and four children, and located in Milwaukee, where the family lived for two years. A short stay was then made in West Bend, Wisconsin, and Mr. Bonnin then took up wild land in Liberty township, which he cleared and converted into a fertile farm, and there he spent the remainder of his life, dying December 10, 1902, his wife having passed away ten years before. Four more children were born to this couple in America. Herman Bonnin was born in the village of West Bend, Wisconsin, September 26, 1858, and as a boy worked on his father's farm and for other farmers, in the lumber camps and on the railroads, bringing the money earned home to his father until he was twenty-one years of age. For four or five years after attaining his majority Mr. Bonnin continued to work this way saving his money carefully until he had accumulated enough to purchase his present farm. In 1886 Mr. Bonnin was married to Lena Rader, daughter of Frederick and Mary Rader, natives of Germany, who came to Outagamie county and settled in Maple Creek township. Mrs. Bonnin was born in Milwaukee. She and her husband have had ten children: Martin, Charles, Arthur, Alma, Herman, Harvey, Clara, Walter, Lawrence and Lorena. Mr. Bonnin served as town treasurer for four years, school treasurer six years and health official six years, and at present is township chairman, having also served on, the township board for several terms. His brother, Christian Bonnin of Shawano county, was a member of the State Assembly. Mr. and Mrs. Bonnin are consistent members of the German Lutheran Church of New London. Ryan, Thomas Henry.
