Biography:
WILLIAM G. BLAKE, a scientific farmer and stock raiser of section 28, Cicero township, was born April 10, 1880, on the farm which he now occupies, and is a son of Joachim C. F. and Adaline (Maschinsky) Blake, and a grandson of Carl and Dorothy Blake, or "Bleek," as the name was originally spelled in Germany. Mr. Blake's grandparents were natives of Mecklenberg, Germany, from whence they came to America in 1866 and settled in Greenville township, moving to Cicero township two years later, where Mr. Blake bought 120 acres of wild land from the Fox River Company. The first residence of the family was a log cabin, and at the same time a log barn was built large enough to accommodate the teams of lumbermen in that vicinity. During the remainder of his life Carl Blake was engaged in agricultural pursuits, and at the time of his death, in June, 1886, he had an excellent property. His widow followed him to the grave during the following spring, and both were buried in the Lutheran Cemetery at Black Creek. Joachim C. F. Blake received his education in the German schools, and after coming to America engaged in working for wages, mostly in the lumber woods, during seven winters, and then worked on his father's farm. In 1876 he was married to Miss Adaline Maschinsky, a native of Germany, who came to America in 1871, her parents first settling in Dodge county and two years later moving to Outagamie county. They bought forty acres of land in Cicero township, and here Mr. Maschinsky died in the spring of 1883, at the age of sixty-one years. His widow, who was born November 15, 1825, is still living on the old homestead in Cicero township. Mrs. Blake was the third of a family of nine children, and was born February 26, 1852. Five children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Joachim C. F. Blake, namely: Emma, who married Fred Pantzloff, lives in Cicero township and has two children; William G.; Mary, who married Amos Sharman of Black Creek township, has three children; Caroline, who married Julius Sassmann, also lives in Black Creek and has three children; and Walter, is single and lives at home, being a carpenter by trade. After his marriage, Mr. Blake engaged in farming for himself on eighty acres of land in Cicero township, to which he later added eighty acres more, and of this he has ninety acres under cultivation. All of the improvements, including the buildings, have been done by him, and the entire farm is fenced with barbed and woven wire and cedar rails. His son, William, is now living on the place, but has purchased a farm of 152 acres in Black Creek township, to which he expects to remove, and Mr. Blake will then move onto his own farm with his youngest son and re-engage in farming and stock raising. At present he is living quietly at his own residence in the village of Black Creek, where he also owns two building lots. Mr. Blake is a republican in politics and has served as assessor of Black Creek, and as assessor, supervisor, chairman of the town board and treasurer of the school board. With his family he attends the Lutheran Church.
William G. Blake received his education in the public schools, and later took the agricultural course at Madison, where he learned the benefits to be derived from scientific farming and stock raising. He has been engaged in these lines all of his life, and is now engaged in breeding thoroughbred Holstein cattle, Duroc and Poland-China hogs and Percheron horses. In 1905, he was married to Miss Mary Hoffman, who was born March 25, 1882, at Maple Creek, daughter of Jacob and Henrietta Hoffman. One child has been born to this union: Elwin C., August 13, 1906.
