  GUSTAVE A. BEHM, a prominent farmer of the town of Ellington, is superintending the working of the Behm homestead in this town, which has been the home of the family since coming to Wisconsin. He is a son of William Behm, a native of Germany, who came to the United States in 1863, and settled on this land in Ellington, having brought with him his wife, Minnie (Trettein) Behm. Their four oldest children, Annie, Minnie, Albert and Gustave A., were born in New York and the youngest, Lena, was born in Ellington, this county. William Behm had lived in Wisconsin only fifteen months, when he enlisted for service in a Wisconsin regiment during the War of the Rebellion, and he died in the army, leaving his family to care for themselves, and in rather humble circumstances. The mother took charge of the farm, and as soon as her sons were able they worked at clearing the property. Gustave A. Behm worked out also on other farms and in the woods and on the river until 1891, and in that year took charge of the home farm, caring for his mother until her death in 1909. Mr. Behm was born November 8, 1863, and on February 15, 1894, he was married to Rosa Christian, who was born in Hortonville, Wisconsin, daughter of John B. Christian, of Hortonville. Mr. and Mrs. Behm have had seven children: two who died in infancy; Grace, who died when eight months old; and Flora Ellen, Eva Rosa, Addie May and Gustave William, residing at home. Mr. Behm has made numerous improvements to the homestead, and has been very successful in his ventures in general farming and dairy work. As a citizen he is public spirited, and he has served his township as school treasurer for some time and holds that position at present.
