  CARL GRAF, the owner of a fine property of ninety acres situated in Seymour township, has been carrying on agricultural operations on section 3 since coming to this country from Germany in 1889. Born October 4, 1858. Mr. Graf is a son of Gottlieb and Wilhelmina (Bauman) Graf, natives of Germany, where Mrs. Graf died, leaving four children: Carl, Wilhelmina, Augusta and Anna. After the death of his first wife, Gottlieb Graf was married to Johanna Ploetz, and four children were born to them in Germany: William, Elbert and two who died in infancy. In 1871 the family came to the United States, where Mr. and Mrs. Graf had six children: Eliza, Bertha, Herman, Emma, Martha and Ida. On locating in America, Gottlieb Graf came to Wisconsin and for four or five years followed the trade of mason in Osborn township, where he eventually took up eighty acres of wild land on section 3, claiming it from the wilderness and cultivating an excellent farm. Later he purchased and cleared three forty-acre tracts, erected good substantial farm buildings and continued to reside on the old homestead, engaged in agricultural pursuits, until his death, which occurred December 19, 1905, when he was seventy-two years old. Mrs. Graf, who survives her husband, is sixty-nine years old. Carl Graf attended the schools of his native country, and as a youth learned the trade of blacksmith, which he followed in Germany until his marriage, in 1881, to Wilhelmina Brand, who was born May 1, 1853. They had two children, Hulda and Anna, and in 1889 the little family came to the United States, locating on a partly improved property of forty acres in Seymour township, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, where Mr. Graf built a little log cabin and barn. He cleared his original purchase and later added fifty acres more, and is now the possessor of one of the finely improved farms of Seymour township. He erected modern buildings, including a barn 40x80 feet, and on this property he has been engaged to the present time in general farming and stock raising, making a specialty of thoroughbred Duroc Jersey hogs. A stanch Republican in politics, Mr. Graf has served his township as supervisor for five years, and his religious connection is with the Lutheran Church.
