  JOHN SCHUH, well-known and respected as a representative well-to do farm er of Grand Chute township, Outagamie county, is a native of Bavaria, Germ any, born April 5, 1840. Jacob Schuh, father of our subject, was a carpent er, and followed his trade in Germany until 1854, when he concluded to t ry his fortune in the New World. Gathering together what means he coul d, he sailed with his wife and family-consisting of three sons and one dau ghter-from Bremen on the three-masted schooner "Gustav," bound for Baltimo re, at which port they landed after a voyage of forty-five days. Their de stination was Wisconsin, as cheap homes were offered to settlers the re at that early date, and, journeying by rail to Chicago, they we nt on by boat to Milwaukee, thence pushing their way into Washington count y, where, in Addison township, Mr. Schuh bought forty acres of wild lan d, paying $350 for same. He commenced to work at his trade, for six shill ings a day, and our subject assisted him at three shillings per day, the o ther boys devoting their time to clearing the farm. The family lived the re until 1865, when they moved to Freedom township, Outagamie county, a nd here Mrs. Schuh passed away in 1870, aged seventy years; Mr. Schuh di ed in Milwaukee in 1892, at the advanced age of nine-two years. Their chi ldren were as follows: Josephine, Mrs. Joseph Foster, of Milwaukee; Jaco b, who died in 1889 in Freedom; John; and Charley, who died in Marshfiel d, Wisconsin. John Schuh received all his literary education in his nati ve land, for after the family came to this country his parents needed a ll the assistance he could give them, and he has been self-supporting fr om an early age. Under his father's tuition he learned the trade of carpe nter, and remained under the parental roof until past twenty years of ag e, when, on August 28, 1861, he enlisted, at Addison, Wis., in respon se to the call for 300,000 men, becoming a member of Company G. Ninth Wi s. V. I. They were sent to Milwaukee, drilling there until early in 186 2, when they wereordered to Fort Leavenworth, and in the following April started for Fort S cott; Mr. Schuh participated in the Indian expedition sent out from the re under Gen. Blunt, which commenced actively with the engagement at Newto nia, Mo., where they opposed Gen. Price. On December7, 1862, the battle at Prairie Grove, Ark., was fought, and thence the reg iment went to Van Buren, Ark., finally entering winter quarters near Sprin gfield, Mo. In the following spring, under Gen. Heron, they went throu gh southern and southwestern Missouri, and after moving tovarious places went by rail to St. Louis, Mo., and were placed on provo st guard duty until August, when they were again sent to points in Arkansa s, Helena, Little Rock, Pine Bluff, etc. In the spring of 1864 they took p art in the Red River expedition under Gen. Steel, with the Seventh Army Co rps. On January 1, 1864, Mr. Schuh veteranized, at Little Rock, and remai ned in the service until January 21, 1866, when he received an honorable d ischarge at Little Rock, Ark., and returned to Milwaukee. During this lo ng term of service he never received a wound from the enemy, and was nev er in hospital, the only injury lie sustained being a kick from a hors e, in the early part of the war.On November 6, 1866, our subject was united in marriage, in Milwaukee, wi th Miss Maggie Gleisner, who was born January 20, 1850, in that city, daug hter of Michael Gleisner, who settled there at an early day. Mr. Schuh ha ving saved $1,000 during the war, after his marriage came to Freedom towns hip, Outagamie county, and invested in eighty acres of timber land lyi ng in Section 22, going in debt therefor to the amount of $800. He bui lt the first house and barn on the land, and began the tedious work of cle aring, living there until 1881, the year of his removal to Grand Chute tow nship. Here he bought eighty acres in Section 11, where he has ever sin ce resided, actively engaged in general farming. A comfortable residen ce and commodious barn are among the many improvements he has made upon t he place, which repays him well for all the labor he has put upon it, a nd which is necessary to conduct it property. In addition to general fa rm products he pays considerable attention to the raising of garden stuf f, and small fruits, and is also engaged in dairying to some extent. M r. Schuh is strictly a self-made man, for he has accumulated his fine prop erty solely by his own industry, and with the help of his estimable wife h as established a pleasant home.Mr. and Mrs. Schuh have had children as follows: Joseph, of Grand Chute; J acob, whose death, when he was twelve years old, was caused by a runaway t eam; John H., at home; Kate, Lizzie, George, Clara, Edward, Anton, Mary, M aggie, Charles, Leo and Rosa, all living at home.Politically a firm Republican, Mr. Schuh cast his vote for Abraham Lincol n, and always supports the ticket of his party in National elections, taki ng an active interest in its success. He has served as assessor and treas urer of Freedom township, acting in the latter capacity four years. In re ligious connection he and his wife are members of St. Joseph's Church at Appleton.
