  Biography	1911
  History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Page 0793
  ALBERT KOLLETH. Those whose task it has been to enter a new territory, where the land is covered with brush and timber, where there are no roads, where the nearest neighbor is miles distant and the nearest base of supplies is even farther, and endeavor to put it under cultivation, can appreciate the hardships encountered by the pioneers who go forth into a new country to blaze the way for civilization. Albert Kolleth, a pioneer of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, has done his share in the development of this section of the State which has brought a vast wilderness into a land of plenty and prosperity. Mr. Kolleth was born in Pomerania, Germany, June 17, 1852, a son of Fred and Lotta Kolleth, who came to the United States in 1873 with their five children, Albert, Tena, Bertha, Herman and August. Four years previous to this time a daughter, Hannah, now the wife of August Halsey, had come to the United States, and two years afterwards a son, Charles, now of Osborn township, had emigrated to this country. On his arrival in America, Fred Kolleth made his way to Waukesha county, Wisconsin, and there he resided until his death in 1895, at the age of seventy years. Albert Kolleth had just about reached maturity when he decided to strike out for himself, and his first five months away from home were spent in working on a farm near Richland, Wisconsin. He returned home for the winter, but in the following summer went to work six miles west of Menominee Falls, and continued to be so occupied during the following five summers. He then came to Outagamie county and in partnership with his brother Charles began farming on sixty acres of wild land. The boys worked hard and persistently, cutting down the trees, uprooting the stumps and clearing the brush, until they had their original purchase under cultivation, when they purchased twenty acres more, and when the partnership was dissolved, four years later, each had a fine property of forty acres. About this time, in 1881, Albert Kolleth was married to Hannah Sewearth, and they continued to reside on this property for two years, when they purchased another forty-acre tract, and this Mr. Kolleth cleared and put under cultivation, also erecting a good house and barn. Later he purchased a tract of forty acres in Osborn township, which he worked into a first-class property, and after remaining here eleven years he purchased his present finely-improved farm on section 27, Seymour township, where he has since carried on general farming and stock raising. Mr. Kolleth is a successful farmer, and his success has been brought about by hard, unceasing labor. He is independent in politics, voting rather for the man than the party. Mrs. Kolleth was born July 28, 1860, a daughter of Gottlieb and Minnie (Busse) Sewearth. Mr. Sewearth died in Germany, but the mother, desiring to give her children all of the advantages that lay in her power, bravely set forth for the United States with her family of twelve, bringing them to Richland, Wisconsin, where their uncle, Samuel Busse, had located some years before. At the time of her death, in 1896, at the age of sixty-six years, the mother had seen all of her children given a good start and fitted for whatever position in life they should be called upon to fill. The twelve children of Gottlieb and Minnie Sewearth were: Caroline, Martin, Gottlieb, Daniel, William, August, Gusta, Louis, Julia, Minnie, Hannah and Fred. Seven children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Kolleth: Arthur, August 17, 1881; Laura. September 14, 1883; William, May 26, 1885; Carrie, January 4, 1887; Amanda, November 2, 1889; Samuel, September 14, 1891; and Emma, April 17, 1893.
