ALBERT AHRENDT (1890) owns and
farms 320 acres of Mound township's productive
soil, the northwest quarter of section
28 and the southwest quarter of section
21. All the land is thoroughly improved.
For the home quarter, which Mr. Ahrendt
purchased in 1890, he paid $11 per acre, and
twelve years later, when he became the
owner of his second quarter section, an
adjoining tract, he was obliged to pay $55
per acre, a case illustrating the rapid advance
of Rock county real estate. Today
it would require nearly double the last
mentioned amount to effect a transfer of
Mr. Ahrendt's lands.
Albert Ahrendt was born in Clayton county,
Iowa, March 5; 1859, the son of John
and Louisa (Weinreben) Ahrends, who were
born and married in Germany. The mother
died in Benton county, Iowa, in 1890. John
Ahrendt, the father, survived his wife seven
years and breathed his last in Rock county.
Our subject was nine years of age when
he accompanied his parents, to Benton
county, Iowa. He lived on the home farm
until after his twenty-fourth birthday, then
married, and for two years farmed rented
land in his home county. He was a Plymouth
county (Iowa) farmer for a period
of four years, and in 1890 established his
present residence in Rock county. Mr.
Ahrendt is an extensive breeder and feeder
of the highest grades of stock. He was
an officer of school district No. 12 for
nine years, serving part of that time as
director and later as treasurer. He is at
the present time road overseer. He and
his family belong to the German Lutheran
church of Luverne.
While still a resident of Benton county,
on the first of November, 1883, Albert
Ahrendt was married to Anna Goeske, who
was born in Germany November 5, 1867,
and came to the United States in 1880.
Ten children have been born to this union,
all of whom live at home except the eldest
daughter, Emma (Mrs. William Boldt), of
Mound township, born August 9, 1886. The
names of the other children follow: Lucine,
born April 20, 1888; Johann, born July
7, 1889; Walter, born July 20, 1890; George,
born September 9, 1891; Alma, born Novem-
ber 1, 1892; Ella, born August 17, 1894;
Albert and Anna, twins, born October 31,
1896; and Ludwig, born November 22, 1899.
