  FRANK LEISGANG, who is now carrying on agricultural operations on his sixty-acre farm in Seymour township, Outagamie county, was born near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, October 21, 1867, a son of George and Sophia (Krause) Leisgang, residents of Black Creek township, where they were early settlers. Frank Leisgang attended the parochial schools of St. Anna, Calumet county, and was but thirteen years of age when he began to support himself. He learned the butchering business, which he followed for four or five years in West Bend, Washington county, and then went to Black Creek township, where he spent one summer, the following nine winters being spent as a cook in the Wisconsin lumber camps. He then started a butcher shop in Black Creek, which he conducted for about one year, and then sold out and for a few months resided in Appleton. Returning to Milwaukee, Mr. Leisgang was for two years engaged as fireman in a distillery and was for another year employed by a stove concern in the manufacture of gasoline lamps, and in December, 1900, he located on his present sixty-acre tract, located on section 22, Seymour township. This property had been allowed to deteriorate to some extent, and the buildings were old and dilapidated, but in a few months Mr. Leisgang had replaced these with new, modern, substantial structures, including a handsome residence. He took the property well in hand and by scientific methods soon transformed it into a fertile and productive farm, on which he raises large crops and breeds valuable livestock. In 1897, Mr. Leisgang was married to Mary Becker, who was, born in Center, Wisconsin, February 12, 1877, a daughter of Charles and Julia (Kern) Becker, farming people of Black Creek township. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Leisgang, as follows: Theodore, Catherine, Aloysius, Leonard, Carl and Norbert. Mr. Leisgang has acted in the capacity of clerk of school district No. 7, of Seymour township.
