  GEORGE WILLIAMSEN. One of the excellent farming properties in the town of Vandenbroek is that owned by George Williamsen, a practical agriculturist and well-known and public-spirited citizen of this section. He was born April 16, 1843, in Holland, and is a son of Theodore and Wilhemina (Bunkamp) Williamsen. Theodore Williamsen was born in 1818, in Holland, and came to the United States with his wife, who was born January 6, 1809, in Zeflih, Germany, and three sons and two daughters. The family settled at once in Little Chute township on land that was owned by Mr. Williamsen and his brother-in-law, Herman Jansen and which was situated about one-half mile from the village of Little Chute. Mr. Williamsen built a little log cabin on this land and also entered other land under the homestead act, but the country was still in a wild state, there were no roads and but few neighbors, and the hardships many and the pleasures few. However, this little family had just started to realize that a home was developing, when three years after his arrival in this country, Mr. Williamsen died in 1851, when only thirty-three years of age. This would have been enough to discourage the average woman, but Mrs. Williamsen was made of sterner stuff, and in order to keep her little family together she worked day and night at washing and sewing until her sons grew old enough to contribute to the support of the family. She died December 16, 1895, at the home of her son George, who had looked after her and cared for her ever since he had been old enough to take up this responsibility. George Williamsen did not have many chances to obtain an education in his youth, as his services were needed almost continually on the home farm, and what schooling he did get was in a private institution conducted by a Mr. Bungeuar, whose wife was an Indian. When he had grown up he went to the lumber woods in the winters and worked on the home farm in summer, and when twenty-four years of age obtained land of his own, in later years purchasing the property that had been originally entered by his father and uncle. When he was twenty-eight years of age he was married to Nellie Vanderhey, who was born in Hollandtown, Brown county, Wisconsin, daughter of Cornelius Vanderhey who came to this country at the same time as did the Williamsens in 1848. Mrs. Williamsen died within three years, leaving her husband with two children, Theodore and Mary. In 1874 Mr. Williamsen was married to Hattie Bergmans, who was born in Holland, daughter of Peter Bergmans, and to this union there were born thirteen children, two who died in infancy and John, Peter, Henry, George, Elizabeth, Nellie, Stephen, Edward, Annie, Lena and Minnie. Henry and George of this family are also deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Williamsen are members of St. John's Catholic Church of Little Chute. Mr. Williamsen has always been a hard and industrious worker, and whatever success he has achieved has been through his own efforts. He is known to be a public-spirited citizen, and stands high in the esteem of his fellow townsmen.
