  JOHN C. BOLDT, who is now the owner of a well-cultivated farm of sixty-two acres, located in Grand Chute township, is one of Outagamie county's self-made men, having started in life in humble circumstances and won success through hard, persevering labor. He was born at Menasha, Wisconsin, January 6, 1864, and is a son of Christian and Christina (Weaver) Boldt, the former born in Mecklenberg, Germany, in March, 1801, and the latter in Frankfort, Germany, February 18, 1827. John C. Boldt was married first in Germany, and on coming to this country located in Milwaukee for one year, after which he came to Greenville township, Outagamie county, to live with the daughter born to his first marriage, Sophia, who had married Henry Everett, and is now a widow of Clayton township. Later he was married to Christina Weaver, who bore him one child, John C. After his second marriage, Mr. Boldt located in Grand Chute township, where he continued to reside up to the time of his death; about 1890, with the exception of a short time spent in Menasha. His widow passed away in 1904. John C. Boldt attended district school No. 4 in Grand Chute township until he had reached the age of thirteen years, at which time he was compelled to give up his studies in order to go to work to help support his parents. For three years he worked among the farmers of the neighborhood, and at the end of this time had saved fifty dollars, which he paid down as first payment on a farm of ten acres, which is a part of his present property. He started to cultivate this farm when he could spare time from working for others, and during seventeen winters was employed at cutting cordwood, and soon added thirty-six acres to his original purchase. In the meantime he had married, and when his children had grown large enough to take care of the duties on the home farm he began working at the mason's trade during the summer months, and this he has continued to the present time. Mr. Boldt's farm now contains sixty-two acres of land, all finely cultivated, well fenced and equipped with modern, substantial buildings, and he successfully carries on a general line of farming and stock raising. Mr. Boldt's success in life has been entirely due to his own efforts, and he now stands as a notable example of what may be accomplished by a man who has natural ability and a determination to succeed. On June 11, 1886, Mr. Boldt was married to Sophia Schumaker, who was born in Mecklenberg, Germany, November 19, 1867, daughter of John and Louisa (Shrauder) Schumaker, natives of that place, where the father was born May 5, 1833, and the mother in April, 1836. They came to America about 1882 and located in Grand Chute township where Mr. Schumaker carried on farming until his retirement, and he now lives in Appleton. Mrs. Schumaker died in 1907, having been the mother of six children, as follows: Louisa, who married Charles Hearling, of Center township; Charles, a resident of Center township; John, living in Ellington township; Dora, who is deceased; Sophia, who married Mr. Boldt; and Lena, who married Joseph Horner, a butcher of Appleton. Mr. and Mrs. Boldt have had eight children, namely: Edward, Ida, Rudolph, Daniel, Florence and Pearl, and two who died in infancy. The family is connected with the Evangelical Church at Appleton. In political matters Mr. Boldt is an independent Republican, and he has never aspired to public office.
