    Biography:
    WILLIAM MEWS, one of the self-made men of Greenville township, who is operating a farm of ninety-two acres, is a native of Pomerania, Germany, where he was born March 16, 1855, a son of Gottlieb and Caroline Charlotte (Yokes) Mews, natives of the Fatherland. The family came to America in 1856, and located in Milwaukee, where Mr. Mews worked on railroad construction work for a few years and later moved to Alma, Wisconsin, thence to Hudson Prairie, and subsequently to Dunn county, where he resided until 1881. Mr. Mews was well and favorably known in Dunn county and served in various public offices. He and his wife had nine children, of whom William was the fourth in order of birth. William Mews received but a. limited education in the schools of Dunn county, and in 1881 left home and went to Neenah, where he worked on a farm for one year and in a paper mill for ten months. He then came to Maine township, Outagamie county, buying a farm in the woods, and during his eight years' residence there cleared the property and developed a good farm. Selling this land, he removed to Ellington township and spent one summer on a rented farm, after which he came to Greenville township and for five and one-half years rented a farm situated two and one-half miles south of his present property. He then rented the farm he now operates for one year, at the end of which time he purchased it, and he now has one of the best farms of its size in this part of Greenville township. He devotes himself to general farming, and also does some dairying, disposing of his milk to the cheese factories of his neighborhood. Mr. Mews is a member of the Evangelical Association. In politics he is independent, and while a resident of Maine township served as a member of the school board. On October 30, 1879, Mr. Mews was married to Miss Margaret Stroebel, who was born in Hebron township, Jefferson county, Wisconsin, August 12, 1857, daughter of Fred and Barbara (Lang) Stroebel. Fred Stroebel was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, July 27, 1824, and his wife in Byern, Germany, March 17, 1838. Mr. Stroebel came to America as a young man, in 1852, and located in Jefferson county, where he purchased a small tract of land and engaged in farming. In 1864 he became a minister of the Evangelical Association, and after he retired went to Blooming Grove township, Dane county, near Madison, from whence he went to Fort Atkinson and there died, November 19, 1906. His widow still resides there. Mr. and Mrs. Stroebel had ten children, Mrs. Mews being the second in order of birth. To Mr. and Mrs. Mews there have been born three children: Samuel Benjamin, who married Miss Tillie Gall, is farming in Dale township; Anna Barbara is the wife of Frank Zahrt, an agriculturist of Ellington township, and Edward William is single and resides at home.
