Hermann Taube, farmer and stock raiser of Sturgeon Bay Township, Door County, is a native of Prussia, Germany, born February 14, 1842. His parents, John and Caroline (Haft) Taube, were born in Germany, and there passed their entire lives, the father dying in 1868, the mother in the autumn of 1871. They reared a family of six children, as follows: Hermann, the subject of this sketch; Charles, a resident of Berlin, Germany; Hannah, living in Germany; Albertina, wife of Otto Helmholtz, of Sturgeon Bay, Wisc.; Albert, who came to Sturgeon Bay, Wis., in 1874 and in 1880 removed to Milwaukee, where he now resides; and Augusta, who died in Germany.
Hermann Taube was reared and educated in his native country, and on commencing life for himself at first followed farming, later, for three years, engaging in the hotel business. In 1871 he came to the United States, arriving in Manitowoc County, Wisc., where he hired out as a farm hand for several months. In 1872 he came to Door County, and, purchasing land in Section 33, Sturgeon Bay Township, commenced farming on his own account. His land was in its wild state at the time he purchased it, and required no small amount of perseverance and industry to convert it to its present condition of fertility. He owns 200 acres, 100 cleared and under cultivation, giving all his attention to general farming and stock raising, in which he has prospered greatly; numerous improvements have been added under his direction, and in 1885 a comfortable frame dwelling 30 x 24, with a wing 28 x 18, and a story and a half in height, and a barn 40 x 60 were erected.
In 1873 Mr. Taube was married, in Door County, to Miss Amelia Zelka, who was born in Germany, and came thence to Door County, Wisc., in 1873. Her parents, Daniel and Dora (Kraft) Zelka, were also born in Germany, where the former died in 1864, and the latter still resides; Henrietta Kraft, grandmother of Mrs. Taube, has resided in Chicago, Ill., since 1882. Ten children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Taube, namely: Otto, Minnie (who has been a school teacher at Forestville for two years), Dora, Emma, Augusta, Bertha, Herman, Albert, Lydia and Henry. Mr. Taube has always taken a deep interest in the educational interests of his section, and assisted in the organization of his school district, also serving as a member of the board. Politically he is a Republican, and he and his wife are members of the German Methodist Church at Bay View.
