  CHARLES TAGGE, one of the self-made men of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, who is engaged in farming and stock raising on a farm in section 12, Cicero township, is a native of Germany, born January 30, 1857, a son of William and Minnie (Weisner) Tagge. There were six daughters and seven sons in William Tagge's family, but only two of these, Charles and Tena, were born in Germany. The little family started for the United States in 1857, by sailing vessel, which after encountering numerous storms which drove it many miles off its course, and after much suffering by the passengers, finally landed, eleven weeks later, at New York. Coming to Manitowoc county, Wisconsin, the family located on Newhouse Hill, where Mr. Tagge rented a property, the family home being a little shanty which stood on the property. Later Mr. Tagge secured a twenty-acre property in Slaswick township, where the family resided until the mother's death, and Mr. Tagge, who is eighty-two years of age, now makes his home with his children. Charles Tagge received only a meager education, beginning to work on the home farm and those of the farmers of his section, at the age of fourteen years. Reared to the life of a farmer, he had also been taught the value of economy and frugality, and this lesson of thrift had so impressed him that he was able in a comparatively few years to take up a farm of 120 acres in Slaswick township. After remaining there for ten years he sold out his interests and came to Outagamie county, where, in 1895, he purchased a forty-acre tract of wild land in Cicero township. He first built a log cabin and log shack for a stable, but was soon in a position to erect better structures and he now has a barn 40x54 feet, a wagon shed 22x36 feet, a substantial granary, and a good, modern farm dwelling. In addition to carrying on general farming he has given attention to stock raising, and has been successful in both ventures. In 1884, Mr. Tagge was married to Katherine Ruthman, who was born July 5, 1860, and they have had three children: Anna, who married Herman Abel, of Cicero township; and Ella and John, who are residing at home.
