  JOHN JOSEPH RENN, a well-to-do farmer of Buchanan township, Outagamie county, who owns and operates fifty acres of land in sections 24 and 25, is a native of Germany, born May 20, 1842, a son of Peter and Barbara (Anschau) Renn. The parents of Mr. Renn came to America in 1847, and shortly after their arrival made their way to Wisconsin, where they purchased twenty-six acres of land in Buchanan township. Mrs. Renn died here in 1880, aged seventy-five years, while her husband survived her until 1885 and was eighty years old at the time of his death. Both were buried in Holy Angels Cemetery. John Joseph Renn was the third of a family of ten children born to his father's second marriage, and he remained with his parents until he had reached the age of thirty-two years. He was married April 14, 1874, to Miss Anna Faust, born December 11, 1849, the fifth of the nine children born to John S. and Anna Mary (Rheinert) Faust, natives of Germany, who came to America about 1848 and settled near Milwaukee. Mr. Faust died in Menasha in 1865, and his widow survived him thirty years, passing away in the city of Appleton in 1895, when seventy-five years old. Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Renn: Peter, who is married and has one child, now living at Kaukauna; John, also living in Kauaukuna, the father of three children; Nicholas, who died aged twenty-five years; Stephen, single and living at Appleton; Catherine, who married George Swalbach, living in Calumet county, mother of two children, twins; Joseph and Henry, single and living at home, the former of whom is clerk of the Buchanan township school board; Hannah, who died aged six years; Charles, who was two years old when he died; and Alma R., single and living at home. After his marriage Mr. Renn went to the state of Nebraska, where he engaged in farming on rented property for two years, and then came back to Wisconsin and settled on land he inherited from his father, and which is now a part of his farm. In 1895 he built a modern residence, 20x28, and wing, 16x24 feet, also a barn, granary and machinery sheds. He does general farming, markets his dairy products, hogs and cattle; keeps Holstein cattle and breeds draft horses. In politics Mr. Renn is a Democrat, but has never aspired to public office. With his family he is a consistent attendant of Holy Angels Church of Darboy.
