  CHARLES KRAHN, who during the past ten years has developed an exceptionally well cultivated property in Seymour township from what was once wild brush land, is now engaged in extensive farming and stock raising operations on section 14. Mr. Krahn was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, September 22, 1877, and is a son of August and Lena Krahn, residents of Osborn township, Outagamie county. Mr. Krahn has one sister, Clara. Charles Krahn was educated in the district schools and remained at home on the family farm in Osborn township until coming to his present property in 1901. He took up eighty acres of wild land and went to live in the little log house which, with the exception of the ramshackle barn, was the only building that graced the desolate stretch of apparently worthless property, which Mr. Krahn had purchased two years prior to moving upon it. He at once started to cultivate the land and in a short time was able to plant a crop, and since that time the advance in improvements on the place has been rapid. He has built a building 40x70 feet, with basement under all, in which he keeps blooded stock, and his land has proved to be very productive under proper treatment. In 1901, Mr. Krahn was united in marriage with Amelia Martin, daughter of William Martin of Seymour township, and they have had five children: Herbert, Lena, Elmer, Dora, and Laura, the last two being twins.
