He was born in Appleton, Wisconsin, March 3, 1876, a son of Justin and Barbara (Leish) Ullrich, natives of Germany. Justin Ullrich came to the United States at the age of nineteen years, and immediately came to Wisconsin, where for a few years he worked among the agriculturists of Grand Chute township as a farm hand, and then rented and later bought a farm one mile south of the present property of Anton F. Ullrich. Here he carried on agricultural pursuits until 1909, and in that year retired and moved to Appleton, he and his wife living in their modern home on Spencer street. They were the parents of five children, as follows: Anton F.; Mary, who married Alvin Boehme, a butcher of Appleton; Theresa, the wife of Henry H.
