Biography:
MARTIN VANDEWYNGAARD. Among the representative self-made agriculturists of Bellevue township, Brown county, none commands greater respect than this gentleman. He is a native of Holland, born August 30, 1821, son of Anton VanDeWyngaard, who was a farmer and miller, and had eight children — four sons and four daughters— of whom Martin is the youngest son. Our subject received his education in the common schools of his birthplace, commencing when about sixteen years of age to learn the milling trade under his father. In 1851 he sailed from Rotterdam on the " Mozambique,'' and, after a voyage of forty-five days, landed in New York, whence, during the same year, he came westward by way of Cleveland, Ohio, to Green Bay, Wis. Here he remained but a few months, and then re- turned to Cleveland, where he secured employment at shingle-cutting, being will- ing to do anything to earn an honest dollar. While in Cleveland he was taken sick, and was sent into the country, in the vicinity of Newburg, to recover, after which he returned to his native land, as he had learned that his father was very ill. He was thirty days crossing the ocean, during which passage, on August 15, he dreamed he was attending his father's funeral, and, strange to say, he found, on his arrival home that his father had died and the funeral had taken place that day. After spending five or six months in Holland, our subject again came to America, this time sailing from Liverpool on a Black Star liner, and landing in New York after a very stormy passage, the vessel arriving in port with one- half of her mainmast standing, while the other masts were gone altogether. Mr. VanDeWyngaard again came to Cuyahoga county, Ohio, and in 1854 was there married to Miss Catherine Ingersoll, a native of same, who was born August 1 3, 1821, daughter of Levi and Derdamia Ingersoll, New England people, who were early pioneers of the county, having come to Cleveland between the years 1812 and 1815. After marriage our subject lived in Cuyahoga county with his wife's parents, and also on a farm of his own until 1871, in which year he brought his family to Green Bay, and, buying the "Camp Smith" farm along the river, resided there for some years. In 1877 he purchased and removed upon his present place, now consisting of one hundred acres of good farming land, but which at that time was a new farm and not all cleared; but with constant care and attention to the details of his work, he now has a pleasant home and comfortable property. He conducts a profitable general farming business, the success he has met with being all due to his own unceasing efforts, and he is well known and highly respected by his neighbors and fellow citizens. In politics our subject was originally a Republican, but during the Grant campaign he joined the ranks of the Democratic party, with which he has since remained. Religiously he is a member of St. John's Catholic Church, Green Bay. To Mr. and Mrs. Van De Wyngaard have been born the following named children: Augusta E. (wife of L. VerBerkmoes, a merchant of Atkinson, Christina, Anton, and Alphonsos (at home), and Barnardus (of Sheboygan, Mich.).
