Biography:
FRANK KRESSIN, one of Outagamie county's successful self-made men, who has risen to a place of prominence among the agriculturists of Freedom township, is now operating a fine farm in section 32. He is a native of the Fatherland, born February 18, 1856, a son of Herman and Caroline Kressin. Herman Kressin was born February 20, 1834, in Germany, and was there married to Caroline ------------, who was born March 19, 1833, in that country. The family came to the United States in 1870, it then consisting of the parents and the following children: Frank, Herman, Albert, Otto, Edward and Amelia, of whom Otto is now deceased. The family settled in Freedom township, where Mr. Kressin purchased land, and resided there until 1902, when he retired and removed to Appleton, but six years later returned to Frank Kressin's farm, and one year later, in October, 1909, he died, aged seventy-five years. His widow, who survives him and makes her home with her son Frank, is seventy-nine years old. Frank Kressin was fourteen years of age when he accompanied the other members of his family to this country, and his education was all secured in the schools of his native country, he having no chance to take advantage of educational opportunities after coming to the United States, as his services were needed continually on the home farm. His youth and young manhood were spent on the homestead with his parents, but at the age of twenty-five years he left home and began to work as a carpenter in the service of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad, continuing with that organization for a period covering seventeen years, living in Appleton during that time. In 1890 he was married to Ida Schultz, daughter of Gustave and Augusta Schultz, natives of Germany who came to the United States in 1866 and settled in Freedom township, where Mrs. Kressin was born August 29, 1872. In 1898 Mr. Kressin moved with his family to a farm in Freedom township, about a mile and one-half from the village of Freedom, and resided on that property for ten years, but in 1908 sold that tract and purchased his present property in section 32. He carries on general farming, raising good cattle and marketing dairy products. His buildings are in an excellent state of repair, his land is neatly fenced, and the whole property presents a neat and prosperous appearance. Mr. and Mrs. Kressin are members of the German Lutheran Church of Freedom. They have had three children: Alfred, born January 3, 1897; William, born July 31, 1900, and Linda, born April 13, 1905.
