The History of Madison County, Indiana:
Success has amply attended the efforts of William Butler Bronnenberg, who has devoted himself with diligence and energy to the family business all his life. Few men in this community have surpassed or equaled him in his accomplishments in the field of agriculture and he is representative of the best and most progessive class of farming men in the county and state today. Beginning with little or nothing, Mr. Bronnenberg is today owner of something like 250 acres of the most fertile land in the county, which yields him richly and repays him goodly measure of prosperity for every shred of energy expended upon it.
Born Aug 25, 1853 on the farm of his parents in Union township, William Butler Bronnenberg is the son of Henry and Maria Forkner Bronnenberg. As a boy at home he attended the district schools of Union township, finishing his training in the Chesterfield schools. His father was a farmer and the boy was early trained in the business for which he was destined.
In young manhood he married and established a home of his own, Catherine Diltz becoming his bride, 2 children were born to them, the wife and mother died in young life and in 1894 he married a second time chosing Sallie Butler of English descent, who by previous marriage to William Manger had 1 child - Emerson. Sallie Butler Bronnenberg is the daughter of Jacob and Rachel Porter Butler, who were natives of southern Ohio and who never left that state. The second marriage of William Butler Bronnenberg was one child. Mr. Bronnenberg is a democrat in his political belief, active and prominent in local politics and fraternally has membership in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
