Biography:
CHARLES BREITRICK, who is engaged in cultivating the old Breitrick homestead in Ellington township, is one of the scientific and practical farmers of this part of Outagamie county who has an intimate knowledge of agricultural conditions, He was born in Ellington, Wisconsin, in 1864, and is a son of Karl William and Wilhelmina Herman, and a grandson of Andrew Breitrick, a farmer of Saxony, Prussia, where he spent all of his life. He married Rosa Kroshaus, and they had a family of eight children, of whom Karl William was born April 24, 1822. He received his education in his native country, was reared to the life of an agriculturist, and entered the German army at the age of twenty years. At the expiration of his term of service he returned to his home and settled up the estate of his parents, and then sailed for the United States on the "Alexander Edmond," being on the water for fifty-six days. On arriving in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he was married to Wilhelmina Herman, who was born in Prussia and came to this country on the same boat with him, and after a short time there removed to New London, but after a season there went to Greenville township and took up 160 acres of land. Five years later he sold out and moved to Ellington township, where he continued to engage in farming until his death, April 23, 1891, his wife having passed away March 27, 1880. They had a family of five children: Albert; Minnie, who married F. E. Saecker of Appleton; Rosa, who married Charles H. Mory of Cicero township; Carrie; and Charles. Charles Breitrick was educated in the public schools of Ellington township, and has always resided on the farm which he is now cultivating. Early in life he was taught to cultivate the traits of thrift and industry, and these, together with an intimate knowledge of agricultural conditions here, have made his ventures a success.
