  JOHN VAN DEN BOSCH, a prominent and influential citizen and large land owner of Freedom township, where he has been engaged in agricultural pursuits during a long and active career, is now residing on Kaukauna Rural Route No. 12. He is a son of Henry Van Den Bosch, a native of Holland, who came to the United States in 1868 with his wife, Mary, and their son John, and settled in Outagamie county. Henry Van Den Bosch first purchased a tract of forty acres of wild land in Freedom township, which he cleared and cultivated, later adding eighty acres and subsequently twenty acres of land which he made into one of the finest farms in Freedom township. The first family home was a log house, which is still standing on the property, testifying to the excellence of the workmanship of the one who built it, although a fine modern house and large barns have since been erected on the property by John Van Den Bosch, who was born in Holland May 7, 1860. He received his education in his native country and the district schools of Freedom township, and always worked on the home farm, which he inherited at the time of his father's death, January 12, 1906. Since that time he has added eighty acres to the farm through purchase. He is still actively engaged in tilling the soil, although he met with an unfortunate accident in 1910, when he lost his left hand in a corn husker which he was operating. He is an intelligent, practical farmer and operates his land along scientific lines, paying attention to crop rotation and turning out large crops. In 1888 he was married to Wilhelmina Vervort, who was born in Holland in 1868, daughter of Peter Vervort, and six children have been born to this union, namely: Henry, born September 16, 1892; Mathias, born August 20, 1895; Frank, born December 22, 1897; Mary, born November 20, 1900; Peter, born May 5, 1905; and Nellie, born December 11, 1906. Mr. and Mrs. Van Den Bosch are consistent members of St. Nicholas Catholic Church of Freedom.
