  Biography	Aft 25 Dec 1852
  JOHN LEININGER, who is a farmer and stock raiser in Outagamie county, Wisconsin, owning a well-improved farm in section 4, Osborn township, was born at Germantown, Wisconsin, December 25, 1852, and is a son of Junior and Kate Leininger. The mother died when he was small. The father was a native of Germany and when he came to America settled at Germantown and lived there some years, but later moved to Appleton, where he died. John Leininger had but meager educational opportunities in his youth and from boyhood worked hard. For eight or nine years he was employed at Appleton, and did teaming and lumbering on Wolf River. He was married in 1878 to Anna Williams, and in the same year came to Osborn township and settled on a tract of eighty acres of wild land, he and his wife living in the old shanty they found on the place. He immediately began the clearing of his land and in the course of time added seventy acres to his original purchase, it being partly improved. He has all of his land well improved, and his substantial buildings include a fine house and a basement barn with dimensions of 38x68 feet. Mr. Leininger has seen many hard times, but through his industry and perseverance has accomplished what a less courageous man could never have done. When he first settled here his preparations for farming were the purchase of an old team of horses (for which he paid $100, and one horse soon died) and fourteen chickens. He now has stock of all kinds and is one of the prosperous and contented farmers of this district. Seven children have been born to him and wife, namely: Peter, Mrs. Zobel, Frank, Edward, John, Agnes and Mamie, who married a Mr. Krohn.
