HERMAN A. TAUBE, JR.
Herman A. Taube, jr., living on section 33, Sturgeon Bay Township, is engaged with his father and brother in the cultivation of an excellent farm of two hundred acres. He was born in this county January 5, 1887, a son of Herman Taube, Sr., whose birth occurred in Bremen, Germany, on the 14th of February, 1841. He there resided until twenty-eight years of age, when he crossed the Atlantic and became a resident of Door county. Here he purchased eighty acres of land and as prosperity attended his undertakings he added to his holdings by the purchase of a tract of one hundred and twenty acres. He cleared his land with the assistance of his two sons, added fine imporivements thereto and continued to actively cultivate his fields for many years but at length put aside the more arduous cares of farm life and removed to Sawyer, where he now makes his home. He was at one time a stockholder of the Farmers Union and also of the Farmers Elevator Company. In community affairs he has taken quite a deep and helpful interest. For years he served as treasurer of District No. 5 and he cooperated in many plans and movements for the upbuilding of his section of the county. His political allegiance has always been given to the republican party since he became a naturalized American citizen. His religious faith is that of the German Methodist Episcopal church and he has guided his life according to its teachings.
It was in 1871 that Mr. Taube was united in marriage to Miss Emila Silka, who was born in Germany in 1850. They have become the parents of eight children: Minnie, the wife of William Fick, a resident of Chicago; Dora, the wife of Henry Goettelman, of Sawye; Emma, the wife of George E. Ellis, of Saskatchewan, Canada; Gussie, the wife of Alfred Wulf, of Sawyer; Herman A.; Lydia, the wife of George Draeb, of Sturgeon Bay; Albert, living in Sawyer; and Henry, who completes the family.
The two sons, Herman and Henry Taube, enjoyed the educational advantages offered by the common schools and for two years Henry worked in Chicago. They afterward became associated with their father in the conduct and management of the home farm, which they actively aided in clearing, developing and improving. Their practical experience well qualified them to take charge of the farm when their f ather retired and they are now busily engaged in its further development and improvement.
On the 20th of November, 1912, Herman A. Taube, Jr., was united in marriage to Miss Louise Saaler, of Sturgeon Bay. Their home is a hospitable one, its good cheer being greatly appreciated by their many friends. In business circles the brothers occupy an enviable positiion and high regard is entertained for them by all with whom they have been brought in contact.
