Hiram A. Hitler was a citizen of Kenosha County from 1878 to the time of his death sixteen years later. He was born in Circleville, Ohio, February 27, 1851, and was educated in the public school system there while working upon his grandfather's farm. At twenty-two years of age, he settled at Princeton, Wisconsin for two years. In 1878 he arrived in Kenosha County and made investment in forty acres of land in the town of Somers where he resided until his demise in January, 1894. He had displayed marked energy in carrying on his farm work and had brought his fields to a high state of cultivation so that excellent success rewarded his efforts.
