Biography:
HENRY LADHOLZ, the owner of an excellent farm of eighty acres in Grand Chute township, was born September 29, 1869, in Stettin township, Marathon county, Wisconsin, and is a son of George and Minnie (Yeathes) Ladholz, natives of Germany. George Ladholz was born January 16, 1824, and came to the United States as a young man, settling in Stettin township, Marathon county, Wisconsin, on the farm on which Henry Ladholz was born, a wild tract of 240 acres on which no improvements had been made. The nearest markets were Wausau and Stevens Point, and the necessary family provisions had to be carried from that point to the homestead farm. There Mr. Ladholz resided until his death in 1897, his wife, who was born July 22, 1842, dying in 1895. They were the parents of nine children, Henry being the fifth in order of birth. He attended school in Marathon county, near the old home, and worked for his father until he was twenty-five years of age, with the exception of a short time when he worked out among the farmers of that vicinity. In 1894 he took charge of the Stettin township farm and conducted it for fifteen years, but at the end of that time he sold out and purchased his present eighty-acre tract in Grand Chute, a finely cultivated tract which is equipped with modern substantial buildings and fine fencing, and is supplied with good water facilities. Mr. Ladholz is engaged in general farming and dairying, and his efforts along these lines have met with gratifying success. He is a member of the Lutheran Church, and in political matters is an independent Republican, although he has never aspired to political office, preferring to give his time and attention to the work of his farm .
