Frank D. Schlottman was born in Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 24, 1876, son of Fred J. and Minnie (Tesch) Schlottman. He was seven years old when he accompanied his parents to Dunn County and to Menomonie, Wis., and in the following year, 1884, he moved with them onto their farm in the town of Sherman, a farm that he subsequently helped his father to develop.

He was married to Anna K. Smith of the town of Stanton, who was born on a farm in this town on Dec. 25, 1879, daughter of Charles and Anna (Orth) Smith. Frank and his wife began homemaking on their present farm, which was then a tract of wild land containing 80 acres and without buildings, in Section 13, town of Stanton. After conducting it for three or four years he became the owner of it by purchase and by an additional purchase has since increased the area to 120 acres. Of this he now has 90 acres under cultivation, the balance being in timber and pasture. The first dwelling was a small frame house, which he has since replaced by a good two-story ten room house, and he has also erected good barns and other necessary farm buildings, including a good stave silo. The farm is well fenced, the soil good, and the equipment of tools and machinery adequate, and Mr.Schlottman is successfully carrying on general farming and dairying. The location is five miles south of Boyceville and 11 miles northwest of Menomonie.

Mr. Schlottman has served 12 years as treasurer of school district No. 2, and politically is a Republican.
He and his wife have been the parents of eight children:
1. Estella M., born Jan. 8, 1899
2. Walter R., born Jan. 28, 1900
3. Bernard M., born Jan. 16, 1901
4. Harry R., born Nov. 8, 1902
5. Chester M., born April 18, 1905
6. Herbert R., born Jan. 20, 1906
7. Norman F., born July 4, 1911
8. Lucille, born Oct. 8, 1909, who died in infancy.

The family are members of the Sherman congregation of the German Evangelical Church.
