HENRY C. HOEFNER

This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin"
by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.448-453.

Henry C. Hoefner was born in the first log cabin that his father built on
his farm. He received his education in the district schools of the
neighborhood and grew to manhood on his fathers farm, where he has
continued to reside. He was about forty years of age when he purchased the
old homestead and has since operated the same. He has made many
improvements on it, has erected a beautiful modern residence and now has
all the land under a high state of cultivation, carrying on scientific
farming.
In 1883 Mr. Hoefner wedded Miss Dora Nickels, who was born in the town of
Manitowoc and was a daughter of Carl Nickels, a native of Germany. In their
family were five children, Frederick, Arthur, Herbert, Erna and Elsie. Mr.
Hoefner gives much time to the cause of education and has served as clerk
of his school district. He is also interested in the Silver Creek Telephone
Company and has served as the treasurer of the company. Both he and Mrs.
Hoefner are earnest and faithful members of the German Lutheran church, of
which he has been trustee for three years. He is highly esteemed in the
community where he has spent his entire life and no man is more worthy of
the respect of his business associates than he whose name introduces this
review.
