WILLIAM GOETZ
"William Goetz who is operating a one hundred and twenty acre farm of excellent land on section 34 Nasewaupee township and a forty acre tract in Forestville township was born February 9 1886 in Door county. His parents were Nick and Agatha Goetz the former born in Germany on the 20th of June 1841 and the latter in Manitowoc county Wisconsin in 1855. The mother however is of German descent. The father was brought to the United States in childhood and grew to mature years in Manitowoc county. He remained there until 1885 when he removed to Door county and located upon the farm now owned by his son William. The family are Catholics in religious faith. The mother passed away in 1888 and is buried in the Maplewood cemetery. To Mr. and Mrs. Goetz were born seven children as follows: Louise who was born January 16 1875 and died March 20 1905; Philip a resident of Manitowoc county; Frank who is living in Saskatchewan, Canada; Josephine who is the wife of George Brey; Mary who married George Kolbeck; Peter a resident of Wisconsin; and William of this review. The last named received a public school education and also devoted much of his time as a boy and youth to helping his father with the farm work thus gaining a practical knowledge of the cultivation of the fields and caring for stock. At length he purchased the home place comprising one hundred and twenty acres in Nasewaupee township from his father and he also owns forty acres in Forestville township. The land is under cultivation and he annually harvests good crops. He also raises stock to some extent and finds that the two phases of farming coordinate well. Mr. Goetz was married November 25, 1913 to Miss Ella Hennessey, who was born March 27, 1888, a daughter of John Hennessey of Nasewaupee township. To this union have been born two sons; Norbert, born November 8, 1915; and Harold, born June 8, 1917. Mr. Goetz casts his ballot in support of the candidates of the democratic party and takes the interest of a good citizen in public affairs but has never desired to hold office. In religious faith he is a Roman Catholic. Although he is still a young man, he has gained a measure of success that many of his seniors might well envy and he is recognized as a representative farmer."
