  CHARLES H. KESTING, a representative citizen and good, practical farmer of Grand Chute township, Outagamie county, who, is engaged in general farming and dairying, was born in Troy, New York, April 15, 1854, and is a son of Charles and Katharine (Neff) Kesting, the former of whom was born in Wittenberg, Germany, March 14, 1826, and the latter at the same place, July 27, 1827. Charles Kesting followed the trade of shoemaker in Germany until coming to the United States in 1851, and after locating at Troy, New, York, continued that business for about three years. At the end of this time he came to Appleton, Wisconsin, where he followed his trade for about five years, and then bought a farm in Center township, which was partly cleared. After three years he sold his land and moved into the city of Appleton for one year, but eventually went back to farming, purchasing the farm which is now being operated by Charles H. Kesting, and there he continued to live until his death in 1897. His widow, who survives him, makes her home with her son. They had a family of seven children, as follows: Charles H., two who died in infancy, Rosa, who married Henry Ebner, a resident of Michigan; Mary, who married Dell Collar, residing in Hortonville; Lottie, the wife of Charles Palmer of Elcho, Wisconsin, and Clara, who is deceased. Charles H. Kesting attended the schools of Appleton, and worked on the home farm for his father until his marriage, at which time he bought the old homestead, on which he has operated ever since. He has eighty acres in a high state of cultivation, and is carrying on general farming and dairying. Mr. Kesting was married August 17, 1885, to Ida Beckenstrader, who was born in Appleton, October 31, 1862, daughter of Joseph and Frederica (Zinn) Beckenstrader, natives of Germany, where they were born in 1826 and 1839, respectively. On locating in Appleton, Mr. Beckenstrader followed the trade of cabinetmaker for several years, and then bought a farm in Osborn township, which he continued to operate until his death in 1902, after which his widow moved to Appleton, where she still resides. They were the parents of seven children: Mrs. Kesting, Olga, Arthur, Laura and Bertha, who are all deceased, except the first named; Herman, who is residing in the State of Maryland, and Hattie, who married Daniel Van Oyen, of Appleton. Mr. and Mrs. Kesting have had five children: Adella, born August 9, 1886; Fred, born December 9, 1888; Herman, born April 21, 1893; Leo, born January 26, 1896, and Lillie, born May 15, 1902. Mr. Kesting is not connected with any religious organization. In political matters he is a Republican.
