Locating in Manitowoc county, he took up wild land near Reedsville, and remained there eight years, and there three children were born. . .

The land which is now being operated by (son) Stephen Shimek was purchased by his father in 1867, and there he continued to oper-ate until his retirement in 1883, when he moved to the city of Manitowoc and resided there until his death, September 28, 1910, at the age of eighty-two years."
