  WILLIAM ROLOFF. Among the progressive, well-to-do farmers of Cicero township, Outagamie county, there are not a few who are natives of the Fatherland, and of these the gentleman here named is a prominent representative. He was born February 9, 1864, son of John and Henrietta (Scham) Roloff, natives of Germany, who were married in that country and had there two children, William and Lena, and one child after they came to this country in 1869, Emma. On first coming to the United States, the Roloff family settled in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and after three years removed to Seymour village, that place being their home until 1876, at which time they came to Cicero township, buying a tract of eighty acres of land, of which ten acres had been cleared. Mr. Roloff built a log cabin and two log stables, 18x28 and 10x20 feet, respectively, but these have since been replaced by a basement barn 36x90 feet. with basement under all, and with cement floors and patent staunchions, a wagon shed 20x48 feet, a hay barn 20x48 feet, and a fine, modern, eight-room house. The parents are still living on the old homestead, each being eighty-two years old. William Roloff took charge of the home property twenty-one years ago, and since that time he has made many improvements on the place, in addition to adding to its size by purchasing forty acres. He has been engaged in farming all of his life, and the present condition of his property is but the just reward of thrift and industry properly directed. In June, 1881, Mr. Roloff was married to Mary Henning, who was born in New York, September 15, 1859, and to this union there have been born four sons and one daughter: Robert, Walter, Otto, Menda and William, all living at home.
