  History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Page 0685
  AUGUST KLITZKE, who has been a resident of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, for many years, is one of the self-made men of this section, and is the owner of a fine property in Grand Chute township. Mr. Klitzke was born in Germany, April 5, 1864, a son of Charles and Frances (Strey) Klitzke, natives of that place. The family came to the United States in 1880, first locating for six months at Neenah, where Mr. Klitzke, the father, worked for others, and then moved to Ellington township, which Charles Klitzke worked for twelve years and then sold to his son August. Mrs. Klitzke had died in Ellington township, and the father moved to Appleton, since when he has lived retired. Five children were born to Charles and Frances Klitzke: Herman, who is residing on the old homestead in Ellington township; Minnie, the wife of August Maas, of Grand Chute township; August; William, who resides in Ellington; and Bertha, who married Gustave Lang, an engineer in the Appleton paper mills . August Klitzke received his education in the schools of his native country, and was about seventeen years old when he came to America, at which time he could understand no English. He was quick to learn, however, and during the eleven years following he worked out among the farmers of his vicinity, and on the home farm of his father, in Ellington township, which he bought at the time of his marriage. There he resided for about nine years, making numerous improvements, at which time he rented it out for five years and moved to the farm which he now occupies, and which he bought two years later. He has forty-eight acres in this tract, and twenty-five and ten-acre tracts in the same section, and here he has carried on agricultural operations to the present time, meeting with gratifying success. He carries on general farming and dairying, and is considered one of Grand Chute township's good, practical farmers . On March 28, 1892, Mr. Klitzke was married to Martha Raub, who was born in Germany, in 1871, daughter of Christian Raub, who came to America in 1872 and became a landowner in Center township, where he still resides. There were no children born to this union. Mr. Klitzke was married (second) March 23, 1901, to Mrs. Amelia Kuehne, who was born March 26, 1867, in Germany, daughter of William and Amelia (Hartwig) Harting, natives of the Fatherland. They came to America in 1868, and settled first in Greenville, but later moved to Appleton, where the father worked at farming and in railroad construction work until his death in 1898. Mrs. Harting still survives her husband and makes her home in Appleton. Mrs. Klitzke was first married to Ewald Kuehne, a native of Outagamie county, who is now deceased. They had three children: Loretta, born June, 6, 1889, single, and residing, at home; Marie, born May 3, 1892; and Mabel, born November 23, 1894. Mr. and Mrs. Klitzke have also had three children: Harvey, born May 17, 1902; Irene, August 9, 1904; and Walter, November 26, 1907. The family are members of the Lutheran Church of Appleton, and in political matters Mr. Klitzke is an independent Republican .
