Biography:
LOUIE EICK, who is a substantial citizen of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, owning considerable improved farm land in section 8, Osborn township, on which he carries on general farming and stockraising, was born October 11, 1872, at Appleton, Wisconsin. His parents were William Jacob and Wilhelmina (Sylvester) Eick. The mother died in 1910, aged seventy-nine years, two months and thirteen days, and the father in 1890, aged fifty-three years. William Jacob Eick was one of the early investors in land in Osborn township. After working for some years at Appleton, in 1870 he bought a tract of eighty acres of wild land in Osborn township although it was two years before he could begin to clear it. He worked for the railroad during this period and then at Seymour, and the old hut in which he lived during this time he later tore down and built a very presentable frame house on a second tract of forty acres, also wild land, just across the road, which he purchased in 1886. Here he also started to erect substantial buildings and finished a stone hog pen with cement floor and trough, an up-to-date building, the year before he died. When he started his farm operations it was with one cow and a yoke of oxen and at death he owned a herd of fine cattle. He was an industrious, provident man and was a worthy member of the Lutheran Church.
Louie Eick obtained a district school education and afterward became a farmer and stockraiser. He bought eighty acres of the homestead to which he later added twenty more and still later an additional forty acres. The sons together built the residence in 1898, but Mr. Eick himself erected the 40x80-foot basement barn. He was married October 6, 1910, to Tillie Sachs, whose parents reside in Black Creek township.

Louis married Sachs, Tillie 6 Oct 1910, Freedom, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA. Tillie (daughter of Sachs, Charles and Brack, Maria Louisa Albertina) was born 31 Jul 1879; died 18 Jan 1968. [Group Sheet]
