HERMAN LECKER, who ranks among the well-to-do agriculturists of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, is the owner of a fine farm of eighty acres situated in Center township. He is a native of Germany and a son of Frederick Lecker, who was born in the Fatherland during the early '30s and came to the United States in 1853, settling in Milwaukee, where he lived for about fifteen years. He then purchased land in Granville, about seven miles north of Milwaukee, to which he brought his wife, Christina, and four children, Hannah, Gottlieb, Paulina and Herman, who had been born in Germany, and four other children born in Washington county, Wisconsin. Mr. Lecker continued to reside on this property until after the close of the Civil War, when he removed to Grand Chute township, Outagamie county, buying 120 acres of land, on which he spent the remainder of his days in agricultural pursuits, and died in 1890. At the time of his death he had cleared the entire property, although when he located there only thirty acres had been cleared. He had also made many improvements, including the erection of a residence and good barns, but the latter have since been torn down, and Mr. Lecker's brother has built one of the finest barns in Outagamie county. Herman Lecker was born in Germany, September 22, 1851, and was two years old when the family came to the United States, his education being secured in the schools near Milwaukee. He was reared to the occupation of a farmer, and his youth was spent in working on various farms until his father secured the tract in Grand Chute township, on which he worked until his marriage, in 1883, to Hermina Schilling, daughter of David and Caroline Schilling, one of the oldest and best-known farming families of Grand Chute. Mrs. Lecker was born in 1855, near Oshkosh, Wisconsin. After his marriage, Mr. Lecker received forty acres of land for his services to his father, and to this he added the forty acres adjoining, but after five years he sold this property and bought the eighty acres that comprise his present farm. Here, in addition to making extensive improvements to the residence, he has erected a large, new barn. He is engaged in general farming, and is considered one of the good, practical farmers of his section. Mr. Lecker has two children: Nora, born May 14, 1889, and Amos, born January 1, 1888, both residing at home, the latter being a graduate of the Appleton Business College. Mr. and Mrs. Lecker are members of St. Peter's Lutheran Church of Center township, and in political matters he is a staunch supporter of the principles of the republican party.
