  History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Page 0727
  AUGUST KRAHN, a prosperous farmer and stockraiser of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, who resides in Section 9, Osborn township, owns two valuable farm s, one containing 200 acres and the second one, situated farther south, co ntaining 240 acres. He was born in Germany, December 3, 1853, and is a s on of Gottlieb and Amelia Krahn. His mother died in her native land, aft er which the father and his children came to the United States. The lar ge percentage of German settlers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, attracted h im to that place, where, after a season, he again married. August Krahn re mained at home and worked in Milwaukee until 1881, and by that time had ac quired enough capital to enable him to invest in two tracts of eighty acr es each, in Section 9, Osborn. township, Outagamie county. This land th at now shows every evidence of careful cultivation, was then covered wi th woods and brush, a part of it being also swamp, while the only improvem ents were a little frame building used for a dwelling house and a small ba rn. Mr. Krahn had always been industrious and the appearance of the pla ce in no wise discouraged him, and he immediately set about clearing it, h aving a yoke of oxen, a little wagon and two cows at that time. To know how well he succeeded, and in a comparatively short time, the visi tor has only to look over his productive fields, note his orchards and h is fine grade of stock. In place of the little frame dwelling there stan ds a fine modern residence, and his basement barn has measurements of 40x 90 feet. Mr. Krahn was married first to Lena Becker, who died in 1881, at the a ge of twenty-two years. She was the mother of three children: Charles, Cla ra and a babe that died. He was married secondly to Albertina. Greinke, a nd they have four sons and four daughters: illiam, Fred, Albert, Edua.r d, Bertha, An, aMeta and Louisa.
