Biography:
JOHN STUCKART, one of the substantial citizens of Seymour, Wisconsin, who is proprietor of the Seymour Bottling Works, is a native of Germany, born in Prussia, January 24, 1863, a son of Nicholas and Maggie (Wachter) Stuckart, natives of the Fatherland. Nicholas Stuckart followed the trade of mason throughout his life, and his death occurred in Germany in 1903, when he had reached the age of sixty-eight years. His widow, who still survives, is now seventy-three years of age. Nicholas and Maggie Stuckart had the following children: Anna, John, Regina, Nicholas, Laura, and Christoph.
John Stuckart, who was the only one of the family to come to the United States, secured his early education in Germany, and in 1880, when but seventeen years of age he left the old country to come to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Remaining but a few days, he went out into the country to follow the trade of mason, which he had learned with his father, and he made this his chief occupation during the next three years. At this time he was married, and he settled on a farm, on which he resided until 1886, in which year he came to Seymour township and purchased eighty acres of wild land, on which he erected a log house and later, after he had cultivated the property, built a substantial frame dwelling. Selling this property at a good profit, Mr. Stuckart then purchased a tract of 120 acres, of which 100 were cleared, and resided on this property until, 1905, in which year he removed to the city of Seymour, where, in 1908, he purchased the bottling works of G. G. Munger, which have since been known as the Seymour Bottling Works. Mr. Stuckart has demonstrated that a man by perseverance and hard work may succeed in making a place for hiniself among the substantial men of his section, and he is now recognized as one of the representative citizens of Seymour. His politics are those of the Democratic party, and he has served as a member of the board of supervisors.
In 1884, Mr. Stuckart was united in marriage with Agnes Kern, who was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a daughter of Andrew Kern, an old settler of Seymour township who is now deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Stuckart have had seven children, namely: Frank, Mary, Theresa, Nicholas, Walberga, Anna and John.

John married Kern, Agnes 15 May 1883, Mackville, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA. Agnes (daughter of Kern, Andreas and Phillips, Eva) was born 27 Apr 1863, Franklin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; died 5 Jun 1938, Seymour, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA. [Group Sheet]
