Biography:
WILLIAM A. FRAHM, who has been carrying on agricultural pursuits in Grand Chute township for the past twelve years, is the owner of eighty acres of land here, and is one of the township's good, practical farmers. He was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, July 22, 1875, a son of John and Sophia (Krell) Frahm, natives of the Fatherland, where John Frahm was born January 6, 1861, and his wife on March 21st of the same year. They were married in Germany, and came to the United States in 1884, landing in New York City, from whence they came to Outagamie county, Wisconsin, locating near Seymour. There Mr. Frahm was engaged in working for others for one and one-half years, and then moved to Center township, where he was engaged in the same occupation for six and one-half years, at the end of which time he purchased a farm and continued to operate it during the twelve years following. He then bought the old Montgomery farm in Grand Chute township, where he resided until the spring of 1910, when he sold out and moved to Appleton, where he and his wife are now living retired. They have been the parents of five children, namely: Fred, who is a farmer of Center township; William A.; Herman, an agriculturist of Grand Chute township, and two who are deceased. John Frahm served in the regular army in Germany, and saw service during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870-71 .
William A. Frahm attended school in Germany for about three months, and after coming to this country attended the English schools until he was twelve years of age, at which time he began working for the farmers in the vicinity of his father's farm. When he was eighteen years of age he went out on the road as traveling salesman for the nursery firm of Chase Brothers, Rochester, New York, and continued in that line until he had reached his twenty-fourth year, at which time he took up a forty-acre tract in Black Creek township, which he had purchased two years previous to this time. After one year there he removed to the farm which he now occupies, and one and one-half years later sold the Black Creek property. He now owns forty acres of finely-cultivated land in Grand Chute township, as well as forty acres of low land, and is carrying on extensive farming operations and devoting a great deal of attention to the raising of fine cattle. He is a Republican in politics, and a member of the Lutheran Church .
On April 20, 1899, Mr. Frahm was united in marriage with Elizabeth Torborg, who was born in Hanover, Germany, December 24, 1876, daughter of Deidrich and Katharine (Junge) Torborg, the former born December 23, 1853, and the latter November 3, 1855, both in Hanover. They came to America in 1879, and immediately located in Appleton, Wisconsin, where Mr. Torborg, was employed in the paper mills until 1898. From that year until 1910 Mr. Torborg was engaged in farming, and Mr. Torborg is now employed at the Eagle Manufacturing Company's plant at Appleton. He and his wife had eight children, of whom four are living, namely: Mrs. Frahm; Margaret, who married Louis Henkel, a pipefitter of Appleton; Anna, the widow of Anton Henkel, residing with her parents; and Emma, the wife of Otto Meyer, a farmer of Cicero township. Mr. and Mrs. Frahm have three children: Erma E., born April 30, 1900; Anna Katharine, born December 20, 1904; and Florence, born April 16, 1908 .
