Biography:
JACOB FRED WASSERBACH, the owner of sixty acres of well-cultivated land in Grand Chute township, on which he is engaged in dairy farming, was born October 30, 1871, in Wittenberg, Germany, and is a son of George and Mary (Breith) Wasserbach. The parents of Mr. Wasserbach, both natives of the Fatherland, came to America in 1882, and located at Algoma, Kewaunee county, Wisconsin, where Mr. Wasserbach was engaged in shoemaking until his retirement a few years ago, though he is now living retired. His wife died in February 23, 1898, having been the mother of nine children, of whom Jacob Fred was the eldest. He attended the schools of Germany and after coming to America received schooling at Algoma until he was seventeen years old, at which time he began sailing on the Great Lakes and Green Bay. After spending three years as a sailor, he began working in a Milwaukee shoe factory, but after one year went to Algoma, and during the two years that followed he was engaged in farming and other occupations. Seven years were spent on a dredge boat in the employ of the United States Government, but he eventually returned to Algoma, and after three years there came to Grand Chute township and bought a twenty-acre farm. After four years he sold this property and moved to his present location, three and one-half miles west of the city limits of Appleton, where he has a fine farm of sixty acres, devoted to dairy farming. He has always been a hard and faithful worker, and the success that he has achieved is but the just reward of conscientious effort well directed. He has always taken an interest in affairs pertaining to the welfare of his community, but he takes an independent stand in political matters and has never aspired to public office. being too busily occupied with his business affairs. He and Mrs. Wasserbach are members of the Lutheran church.
On December 30, 1897, Mr. Wasserbach was married to Miss Louise Maack, who was born January 9, 1875, in Champaign county, Illinois, a daughter of William and Bertha (Peplaw) Maack, the former a native of Germany and the latter of Champaign county, Illinois. Mr. Maack, who throughout life was engaged in farming, came to Algoma, Wisconsin, in 1886, and there resided until his death in January, 1895, and his widow now survives him and makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. Bramer, of Appleton. Mrs. Wasserbach was the second of her parents' six children. Two children have been born to her and her husband, namely: Leon George William, born May 12, 1901; and Marvin Fred Paul, born January 10, 1905.
