  Biography	1911
  History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Page 1078
  FRED ROHLOFF, a progressive farmer and public-spirited citizen of Grand Chute township, who owns and operates a well improved farm of 100 acres is a native of Mecklenburg, Germany, where he was born February 3, 1848, and is a son of Fred and Louisa (Dettman) Rohloff, natives of Mecklenburg who never left the Fatherland. They had five children, of whom Fred is the oldest of the three now living, the other two being Charles, who lives in Germany, and Anna, who is the wife of Fred Leverenz, of Marion, Waupaca county. After his first wife's death, Fred Rohloff married again, and there were three children born to the second union, of whom two survive: Lena, the wife of William Romlof, and John, who is street commissioner of Appleton. Fred Rohloff went to the schools of his native vicinity, and at the age of nineteen years began his service in the German army, which every youth of that country must undergo. He was in the army for three years, seeing service in the Franco-Prussian war, during which he was never seriously wounded, but was confined to the hospital for a time on account of sickness. After receiving his discharge, he went back home, where he became private coachman for a large landowner, who was a government forester, but after being thus occupied for a year, he decided to try his fortune in America and subsequently came to this country. On first locating in Appleton,, he was handicapped on account of not being able to speak the English language, and for a time was compelled to accept whatever occupations presented themselves, but he was quick to learn and his economy and frugality soon enabled him to accumulate enough money to buy a farm of forty acres in Grand Chute township, on which he lived ten years. He made a number of improvements on this property, and was able to sell it at an advance, and at that time purchased the farm on which he now lives. He now has 100 acres of finely cultivated land, having sold forty acres of his original purchase, and here he carries on general farming and stock raising. His buildings are substantial and modern, and include one of the handsomest residences in Grand Chute township, erected by Mr. Rohloff in 1907. Mr. Rohloff is a member of the Lutheran Church, and is independent in his political views. On November 27, 1876, Mr. Rohloff was married to Louisa Longe, who was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, April 17, 1848, daughter of Henry and Louisa Longe, natives of that place who came to the United States in 1872 and located in Appleton, where they spent the balance of their lives in retirement, Mrs. Longe dying within a year after their coming, and her husband passing away in 1891. They had five children, of whom two are living: Mrs. Rohloff, and Henrietta, who is the wife of Fred Lilly, of Appleton. Mr. and Mrs. Rohloff have had five children; Martha, born May 4, 1877, who is the wife of Albert Culbach, engaged in the pump and well-drilling business in Appleton; Anna, born April 28, 1879, the wife of Otis Spriester, a butcher of Appleton; Paul, born June 9, 1883, is single and resides at home; Lizzie, born February 23, 1891, also single and at home; and Louie, born April 4, 1885, who died in 1898.
