  WENSEL A. SCHREITER, postmaster of Greenville Station, Wisconsin, and one of the leading business men of this community, has been interested with the growth and development of this part of Outagamie county for a number of years. He was born in Ellington township, Outagamie county, April 18, 1868, a son of Anton and Anna (Michlin) Schreiter, natives of Oesterich, Bohemia, where the father was born April 4, 1836. Mrs. Schreiter died when Wensel was a mere child. Anton Schreiter came to the United States in 1854, settling in Ellington township, where he worked for other people until accumulating enough money to purchase a farm of forty acres. After his return from the Civil War, in which he served nine months as a member of a Wisconsin Volunteer regiment, he returned to his property which he operated until his retirement from active life, when he moved to Appleton, but after a residence there of several years he returned to the old homestead and died there October 19, 1908. Wensel A. Schreiter was the only child born to his parents who grew to maturity, and his education was secured in the district schools of Ellington township. At the age of twenty-one years he began farming on his own account, renting land in Ellington township for a time and later buying the same property, on which he was engaged in operations until 1903. In that year he sold out and went to Greenville Station, engaging in the farm implement business, and later in the hotel business. Still later he became also a dealer in coal, lumber, lime, cement and general merchandise, and he is now erecting a new store room 24x46 feet for the general merchandise department. He is also a heavy stockholder in the new Appleton Bank and in the Appleton Fair Association. For some years Mr. Schreiter has been prominent in local politics, serving as justice of the peace two terms, and is now treasurer of the school board and postmaster of the village, having held the latter position continuously since 1906. His success has been the result of honesty and industry, and he has won the esteem of all who know him by his upright dealings with his fellow men. His religious connection is with the Roman Catholic Church. On January 7, 1890, Mr. Schreiter was married to Margaret Schmit, who was born in Ellington township, June 24, 1868, daughter of Nicholas A. and Katharine (Nussbaum) Schmit, the former born in Liesenberg, Germany, June 25, 1830, and the latter in Rhine Province, April 9, 1825. Mr. Schmit was a lad of sixteen years when he came to the United States, and he first found employment in Chicago, from which city he made his way to Outagamie county. Here, after some work as a farm hand, he became a land owner in Ellington township, adding to his first small purchase from time to time until he had 200 acres of fine land, and some years before his death, which occurred in January, 1901, he retired from activities. He and Mrs. Schmit had four children, namely: Katharine, the wife of Henry Boehler, residing near Hortonville, retired; Josephine, the wife of Joseph Hoier, a farmer of Greenville township; Margaret, Mrs. Schreiter; and Joseph, who is deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Schreiter have had six children: Hubert, born December 1, 1890, who died June 14, 1901; Celia, born January 28, 1892, the wife of Harry H. Schulze, a merchant of Greenville; Hattie, born March 20, 1893, single, and residing at home; Roman, born May 12, 1895, who died June 12, 1901; and Leo, born October 30, 1896; and Eveline, born January 2, 1903, living at home with their parents.
