MICHAEL RISLER, an early settler in Lima Township, Pepin County, WI was a native
of Austria and was there married to Mary Frazel. With his wife and family he
came to America in 1864 and located in the western part of Lima Township, where
he engaged in farming. His original trade was that of carpenter, and after
coming here he followed it more or less as a contractor, besides carrying on
agriculture. About 1887 his health began to fail and for the last 25 years of
his life he was an invalid, his death occurring in or about the year 1912. It
was Mr. Risler who built the Lima church, which now stands as a monument to his
mechanical ability. His wife is still living, being now 82 years old, and
resides with her brother John on the old homestead. They were the parents of
eleven children.
Known children: Agnes, Mary, Michael, Eustina, John, Josephina and Alexander
