Biography:
ANTONE KATHAGEN, a progressive and industrious farmer of the town of Vandenbroek, who is operating an excellent property situated on Kaukauna Rural Route No. 11, is a native of Germany and a son of Theodore and Gertrude Kathagen, who spent their lives in the Fatherland. Mr. Kathagen came to the United States in 1891 and settled in Wisconsin. In 1893 he came to Outagamie county, and for the following ten years was employed by the day in Little Chute, at the end of that time having saved enough to purchase his present property. General farming and stock raising for his own use have claimed all of his time and attention, and he has never desired to engage in political activities, although any movement that has for its object the advancement of his community along any line will have his instant interest and support. Mr. Kathagen has never married. He is working in partnership with his brother, John Kathagen, who came from the old country to the United States with him in 1891, and they are known as industrious, conscientions workers and excellent citizens. John Kathagen married Johannah Jansen, daughter of George Jansen, and they have had eleven children, of whom two are deceased, the survivors being: Antone, Theodore, Annie, Dora, Gertrude, Marie, John, Theresa and Albert. The family is connected religiously with the Holy Cross Catholic Church of Kaukauna.
