Biography:
HENRY GROSSMAN, one of the leading agriculturists of Dale township, who owns eighty acres of valuable land in section 23 and a finely cultivated tract of twenty acres located in section 14, was born in Dale township, March 12, 1858, and is a son of August and Louisa (Herbst) Grossman, natives of Kensbaugh and Mecklenburg, Germany, respectively. The parents of Mr. Grossman came to this country as young people and were married in Appleton, shortly after which they came to Dale township, where Mr. Grossman purchased 120 acres of raw land. After he had built a log house, 16x24 feet and a log barn, Mr. Grossman settled down to clear his land, and he later added forty acres to his original purchase, having at the time of his retirement, in 1897, seventy acres of the 160 under cultivation. He died in Dale in 1908, aged eighty-seven years, and his widow still survives and resides in that place. Mr. Grossman enlisted in Company A, Forty-seventh Wisconsin Volunteers; in 1865, and his burial was conducted by the Grand Army of the Republic. Henry Grossman was the eldest of his parents' eight children and he remained at home until he was twenty-one years of age, after which he worked at the mason trade for fifteen years. In 1897 he bought the old homestead from his father and continued to operate it until 1905, when he purchased the farm which he now cultivates. In 1884 Mr. Grossman was married to Annie Dorshner, who was born July 18, 1865, daughter of Anton and Catherine Dorshner, natives of Austria, who were married in that country and came to the United States in 1865, settling in Dale township, where Dorshner died in 1901, aged sixty-five years, his widow still surviving. Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Grossman: Lorena, who married Charles Wischow, of Dale township, and has two children; and Harriet and Palmer, residing at home. Mr. Grossman is a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, and is a Democrat in politics. His religious connection is with the Reform Church of Dale. He engages in general farming and markets dairy products, hogs and potatoes and feeds his hay and grain. He has a number of good substantial buildings on his property, including a basement barn, 35x70 feet, built in 1907.
