  PHILIP NICKEL, one of the well known citizens of Seymour township, who is engaged in farming and stockraising on section 27, was born November 15, 1851, in Germantown, Wisconsin, a son of Philip and Catherine (Muehl) Nickel. Mr. Nickel's father was born June 22, 1822, in Kangerheim, Kreis Mainz, Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, and his wife at the same place, and they were married in Wisconsin. Mr. Nickel is still living, at Richland, being eighty-seven years of age, while Mrs. Nickel passed away in 1902, aged ,eighty years. Their children are as follows: Fred, who was born August 1, 1848; Jacob, December 7, 1849; Philip; John, September 12, 1853; Catherine, July 7, 1855; George, August 24, 1857; Henry, December 25, 1859; and William, February 24, 1862, and all are still living. Philip Nickel had the opportunity to secure but a meager educational training in his youth, as his boyhood was spent in the hard work of the home farm, and as soon as he attained his majority he began to work on his own account, coming to Seymour with the railroad in 1871. Deciding upon an agricultural career, he located on the property which he now owns, then a wild waste of sixty acres, which he has since developed into a fertile, productive farm. He raises graded stock in addition to carrying on general farming, and his property is well-watered and equipped with substantial buildings and a handsome residence surrounded by a well-kept lawn. Mr. Nickel takes a keen interest in the public questions ot the day, but he has never aspired to office. On November 7, 1878, Mr. Nickel was married to Elizabeth Wolf, who was born July 18, 1854, at Neuhofen Bouern, Germany, daughter of Conrad and Elizabeth (Hidel) Wolf, natives of Rheinfeld Speyer, Germany. Mrs. Wolf died in September, 1898, aged seventy years, while Mr. Wolf is still living, having reached the advanced age of eighty-seven. Mr. and Mrs. Nickel have had three children, namely: Arthur Jacob, born February 13, 1881; Rufus Melvin, born January 1, 1885; and Lily, born November 19, 1887.
