  Biography	History of Langlade County, Wisconsin
  HENRY HERSANT. Among the leading agricul- turists of Langlade County, who are not only pioneers, but have taken a prominent part in the various activ- ities of the county, is Henry Hersant, well known farmer of Norwood township. Mr. Hersant was born in Freedom, Outagamie County, Wisconsin, the son of Anna and John Hersant. When a youth he moved to Langlade County, settling in Norwood township on March 16, 1881. The county was new and farming was difficult. But with energy characteristic of him in later years, Mr. Hersant set about to develop one of the finest farms in the county, with the result that today he has 160 acres of land, a fine residence, splen- did barns, silo, machine sheds and other buildings. Mr. Hersant was united in marriage on September 29, 1891, to Mary Menting, of Phlox. The Hersant children all reside at Phlox. They are Joseph, Anna, Arnold, Albert, Frank, Hattie, Herman, Minnie, Ignatious, and John. Henry Hersant, a product of the pioneer public and parochial schools of his time, was for ten years acting as Township Chairman of Norwood, a position of honor and confidence. During the World War he was selected as a member of the Board of Exemption of Langlade County. The activities of this Board are discussed elsewhere in this work. Mr. Hersant per- formed an extraordinary service to the country while in that service, and future county historians should accord the members of that body due credit. He also was active in all other patriotic war efforts in the county. Mr. Hersant is affiliated with the Knights of Colum- bus, the Catholic Order of Foresters and the Beavers Reserve Fund Fraternity. The family attends the St. Joseph's church, Phlox, Wisconsin. Henry Hersant has seen Antigo and its vicinity grow from a vast stretch of wilderness to one of the most productive sections of upper Wisconsin during a span of forty years. The part that he played in this advancement has been of incredible importance.
