  FRANK TILLMAN, one of the leading agriculturists of Buchanan township, whose fine property of 120 acres is situated in section 31, was born in Little Chute, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, March 15, 1849, and is a son of John and Mary (Vandebrook) Tillman. Mr. Tillman's parents, who were natives of Holland, came to the United States in 1848 and settled at Little Chute, where Mr. Tillman secured employment in the construction of the canal at that point for the government. Later he bought forty acres of raw wood land from the government, on which he erected a log house from poplar trees which he cut himself, and split the shingles for the roof. Mr. Tillman continued to cultivate this land until his death; which occurred some fifteen years later, his widow surviving him about three years. Frank Tillman, who was the youngest of four children, was fifteen years of age when he commenced working for wages, and he continued to do so for about fifteen years. He then purchased fifty-four acres of partly-cleared land in Buchanan township, on which had been erected a log shanty, and there he spent the next twenty-five years of his life. Having improved this property, he sold it at a handsome profit and purchased the 120-acre tract where he now lives, and now has ninety acres under the plow. General farming has claimed his attention, and he also markets dairy products, milking ten graded Holstein cows. His buildings are in an excellent state of repair, and include a two-story frame residence equipped in modern style, and a substantial barn, 110x38 feet. A plentiful supply of water for all purposes is secured from drilled wells. In political matters Mr. Tillman is a democrat. He and his family are connected with St. Francis Catholic Church of Hollandtown. Mr. Tillman was united in marriage in 1878 to Miss Clark, daughter of Patrick and Catherine (Murphy) Clark, natives of Ireland who came to the United States some years after marriage and settled in Hollandtown, Brown county, Wisconsin, on a farm, on which they spent the remainder of their lives. Mrs. Tillman was the youngest of a family of four children, and was born in 1848 and died in 1896, being buried in the cemetery at Hollandtown. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Tillman: Frances, who is married, lives in Milwaukee and has one child; Peter, who is single and living in Montana; and Albert, who is married, lives with his father on the homestead, and has three children.
