"Henry Landwehr was born in Germany, of an excellent family, his father being possessed of considerable means. He received a good education, and as a young man entered the Germany army. At the completion of his service he returned home, and found that his brother had squandered the family fortunes. Thus reduced in circumstances, he and his father were compelled to work at such labor as presented itself.
At the age of twenty-four years, Henry Landwehr came to America. For a time he farmed near St. Louis. In 1859 he came to Stearns County, and located in St. Augusta township, where he purchased 160 acres from one of the early settlers. On this tract he farmed until his death in December, 1881. His widow lives with their son, Henry, in Portland, Oregon."
