"JOHN W[olfgang] STELZER. The prominent farmer whom we now present to our readers was born April 2, 1839, in Bavaria, Germany, of which country his parents, Wolfgang [G.] and Margaret (Kreial) Stelzer were also natives.
"The grandfather who likewise bore the name of Wolfgang, was a farmer and the father of three sons and four daughters.
"His son Wolfgang [G.] was the only one of the family that ever came to the United States and he migrated in 1854 with his family of seven children namely: Margaret, John W., Adam, John B., Elizabeth, James and Henry.
"He settled on section 13, Cohoctah Township, where he cultivated one hundred and sixty acres of land, and this was his home until his death, December 7, 1876. He was sixty-seven years old at the time of his demise, and his good wife survived him for seven years dying April 14, 1883. They were both members of the Lutheran Church, and possessed of unostentatious Christian characters.
"Our subject [John Wolfgang Stelzer], received his education in both the German and the English languages and thus attained a thorough grounding in the elements. When nineteen years old he began work for himself and labored by the month for three years. During the last of this period he received the yearly wages of $100 from Dr. Allen, and by careful economy was enabled to purchase eighty acres of timber land, situated where he now resides on section 13. This he at once began to clear and put in condition for cultivation. He now owns five hundred and ninety acres and has cleared in all about three hundred acres. Upon this farm he has placed a good house and excellent barns. He has not only kept himself clear from debt but has accumulated means aside from his real estate, in which he has had some assistance from his father's estate, from which he received $1,800, so that he is now the heaviest tax payer in the township.
"It was in May, 1863 that Mr. Stelzer was united in marriage with Margaret Thumser, daughter of Nicholas and Margaret (Rank) Thumser, who came to the United States in the fall of 1853 and settled on a farm in Cohoctah Township. Their daughter is a native of Bavaria, as is her husband, and in their union they have found harmony and prosperity.
"The four children who have been granted to them are: Augusta, Matilda, Fred J., and John B. Augusta is now the wife of John Sleider [sic: Slider] and has established a home of her own. The Lutheran and the Evangelical Churches are the religious bodies with which our subject and his wife are respectively connected, and in their church work they find a broad field of influence. The attention of the reader is invited to a view of the pleasant homestead of Mr. Stelzer."
