  FRANK HENRY ZAHRT, a practical agriculturist of Ellington township, has spent his entire life in this section of Outagamie county, and is the third member of his family to cultivate his present farm. Mr. Zahrt was born October 6, 1880, and is a son of John William and Mary (Seigel) Zahrt. His grandfather, John Zahrt, was born in 1815 in Prussia, where as a young man he learned the trade of cabinetmaker, but later purchased a small farm and resided thereon until coming to America in 1854, bringing with him his wife, Caroline (Kreiger) Zahrt and four children, two of whom died on the ocean, and after coming to this country two more children were born to them. He located in Dodge county, Wisconsin, for about eighteen months, then removing to Ellington township, where he bought eighty acres of land, but eventually sold this in 1868 and bought another property, which he sold some years later to his son, John William, and removed to Seymour township, purchasing forty acres of land. This he deeded to his son in 1885 and removed to Appleton, in which city his death occurred. John William Zahrt was born July 1, 1848, in Prussia. Germany, and received a good, practical education in the public schools, remaining on the home farm with his father until twenty-two years of age, when he commenced working for himself, and so continued for three years. He purchased this land from his father, and continued to cultivate it until 1907, when he retired and moved to Appleton, in 1909, that city being now his home. They had five children, all of whom are living, as follows: Charles, Sadie, Frank Henry, Clara and Lora. Frank Henry Zahrt was educated in the district schools of Ellington township and also took an agricultural course in the State University at Madison. He has always worked on his present farm, which he bought from his father in 1907. In March, 1909, Mr. Zahrt was married to Anna Mews, daughter of William Mews, of Greenville township, born in Maine township, Outagamie county, March 5, 1884, and to this union there has been born one child: Merton, born May 8, 1910. Mr. and Mrs. Zahrt are consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Stephensville. He has always been a Republican in his political views, but like his father has never been an aspirant for public preferment, preferring to give his time and attention to his farm.
