  GUSTAVE LAUERSDORF, a prominent German-American citizen of Grand Chute township, whose well-cultivated farm of eighty acres is situated on Appleton Rural Route No. 1, was born in Brandenburg, near Berlin, Germany, August 28, 1855, and is a son of Ferdinand and Wilhelmina (Schmidt) Lauersdorf. Gustave Lauersdorf's parents were both born in Germany, his father May 28, 1828, and his mother September 29, 1832, and the former spent his life in that country, his occupation being that of a wharfman. After his death his widow came to the United States, in 1883, to reside with her son, and she died at his home in 1887. Gustave Lauersdorf attended school in his native country and at the age of twenty-seven years came to America, settling first in Appleton, where for two years he worked at the mason's trade. He then began working on farms, and for eleven years was employed by the farmers of this vicinity, at the end of which time he purchased the property which he is now operating. He has made numerous improvements on this land, and his fine, new modern residence is one of the best in this part of the township. He also has a large, substantial barn and other farm buildings, and his property is well fenced, well graded and presents a fine appearance. Mr. Lauersdorf is independent in politics and has never found time to engage actively in political matters, his duties on his farm demanding all of his time and attention. He is a consistent member of the Lutheran Church. On January 26, 1883, Mr. Lauersdorf was united in marriage with Augusta Webber, who was born in Germany, March 3, 1855, daughter of Fred and Ernestina (Beckman) Webber, the former of whom died in Germany, while the latter is making her home with Mr. and Mrs. Lauersdorf. Two children have been born to this union: William Gustave, born September 22, 1884, who married Amelia Timm, a native of Herman, Shawano county, Wisconsin, born December 10, 1883; and Martha, born June 3, 1894, who is single and resides with her parents, being a skilled milliner.
