  JOHN KEARN, a practical agriculturist and cattle raiser of Grand Chute township, and the owner of an excellent farm of thirty-seven and one-half acres adjoining the city of Appleton, Wisconsin, was born in the Fourth Ward, Appleton, January 29, 1873, the only child of his parents. His father is now deceased, and his mother is now the wife of Charles Glasnaf, of Grand Chute township. Mr. Kearn attended the district schools of Grand Chute township and a night school at Appleton, and was but thirteen years of age when he started working in the woolen mill at Appleton, where he remained two years. Later he was employed in the paper mills for two years, and on his mother's farm for a like period, at which time he went to Kimberly and secured work on the straw press for two years, subsequently entering the paper mill at that place. At this time Mr. Kearn was taken sick, and he returned home for eighteen months, after which he was again employed in the paper mill for one year, and then went to Appleton and secured employment in the Fox River Paper Company's mills, tending a machine there for eight years. About six months later he bought the farm which he now owns, a well-cultivated tract of thirty-seven and one-half acres adjoining the city limits of Appleton, where he specializes in cabbages. He has a storehouse with a capacity of 100 tons and an excellent silo, of cement, built in 1908, and the farm, taken all in all, is one of the best-equipped in this part of the township. He devotes most of his time to farming, but lately has given a great deal of attention to the breeding of thoroughbred Holstein cattle . Mr. Kearn was married in November, 1900, to Minnie Koehnke, who was born at Manitowoc, Wisconsin, in 1869, daughter of Ulrich and Recka (Witt) Koehnke, natives of Germany, who became residents of Greenville township, Outagamie county, where both died.
