  JOHN MELTZ, one of the prosperous farmers of Greenville township, who owns a tract of highly cultivated land situated on Appleton Rural Route No. 2, was born in Greenville township, Outagamie county, May 19, 1866, and is a son of Frederick and Mary (Cobbin) Meltz, natives of Germany, who early came to America and settled on a wild farm in Greenville township. Frederick Meltz spent the balance of his life in cultivating his farm and clearing it from the timber, and here he died about 1887, his widow surviving him for six years. Of their eight children, three are still living: Christian, residing near Oshkosh; John; and Charles, of Greenville township. John Meltz attended district school No. 13, and until he was married resided on the home farm. He then went to Appleton, where he was employed for one year, after which he purchased his present property, a tract of 131 acres of finely improved property, which he is operating in a general way, making a specialty of Guernsey cattle. His present commodious residence was erected by him in 1904, and he has made all of the other improvements, making an up-to-date, thoroughly equipped modern farm. Mr. Meltz is a member of the Lutheran Church, and is independent in politics. On November 12, 1887, Mr. Meltz was married to Miss Mary Hoh, who was born in Greenville township, January 13, 1869, daughter of Nicholas and Hannah (Schroeder) Hoh, the former born in Saxony, Germany, June 12, 1842, and the latter in Pomerania, September 21, 1848. Mr. Hoh came to the United States with his parents when five years of age, the family settling in Grand Chute township, where he grew to manhood and became a land owner, passing away there in 1889. His widow now makes her home in Appleton. They were the parents of six children, all of whom are living: Mary, the wife of Mr. Meltz; William, a painter of Appleton; Tillie, the wife of Ed Jacquot, in the real estate business in Hortonville; George, a butcher of Kellier, Minnesota; Charles, engaged in the barber business in Seattle, Washington; and Emma, a dressmaker residing in Chicago. Just before the close of the Civil War Mr. Hoh enlisted in a Wisconsin regiment. He was a prominent man of his day and held various township offices. Mr. and Mrs. Meltz have had three children: Emory C., born April 21, 1888; Viola B., born March 19, 1893; and Hazel L., born April 28, 1908.
