circa 1918		Circa 1918 FRANCIS BYRNE. Many people gain wealth in this world, many gain distinction in the learned professions, and many are honored with offices of trust and responsibility, but to few is it given to attain so high a place in the esteem and affection of their fellow citizens as that enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Francis Byrne, who are known throughout Sauk County for their hospitality. Their spacious and comfortable residence in the Village of Ironton is widely renowned for its charity, hospice having been frequently given to those persons less fortunate in the way of worldly goods than themselves. Farming was long Mr. Byrne's chief occupation but he is now living retired. A native of the fine old Emerald Isle, Francis Byrne was born in County Cavan, Ireland, in 1842. He is a son of John and Bridget (Royal) Byrne, who came to America and settled at Lancaster, Ohio, in 1852. Seven years later, in 1859, they located in Richland County, Wisconsin, going thence to Ironton, in which latter place they resided at the time of their demise. Seven children were born to them, as follows: Mary, Alice, Bridget, Francis, Peter, Catherine (deceased) and Ellen. Francis Byrne was ten years of age when he arrived with his parents in the United States. His education consisted of such facilities as were afforded in the public schools of Lancaster, Ohio, and he was seventeen years of age when the family settled in Sauk County. As a young man he purchased a farm of forty acres in Westford Township and he added to that plot until he eventually owned 440 acres in that section. Subsequently he began acquiring land in the vicinity of Ironton, and at one time owned an immense estate of 1,440 acres, parcels of which he has recently given to his sons. His main work in life has been the management of his farms, brain and not brawn building up his fortune. His success in life has proved that the adage of Benjamin Franklin, "He who by the plow would thrive, must either hold the plow or drive," is not cases. For a number of years Mr. Byrne was superintendent of outside works for John F. Smith, at one time owner of practically everything in the vicinity of Ironton. Mr. Bryne set forth on his journey through life some seventy-five years ago, and from the date of the beginning of his business career at a tender age, under the rapidly shifting skies of success and adversity and through years burning with intense energy and devotion to the manifold affairs of life, he has come to the years of his retirement with undimmed alertness and clearness of mentality and judgment and rejoices that he can still carry the burdens which would overwhelm most men of half his years. In the year 1868 was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Byrne to Miss Anna Slaven, a native of Dane County and a daughter of James Slaven, a pioneer of Dellona. To Mr. and Mrs. Byrne were born five children: John, a farmer near Ironton; James, likewise a farmer; Mary; Frank and Joseph (deceased). The family are Catholic in their religious faith and in politics Mr. Byrne is a stalwart democrat. Mrs. Byrne is a woman of most gracious personality and in conjunction with her husband has extended hospitality to the needy in many walks of life. They are greatly beloved by all who know them and their lives are a fine example of faithful industry and charitableness to the younger generation.

Description

JOHN RIGGERT, merchant, banker and public spirited citizen, has been accumulating interests and responsibilities that make him an important citizen ever since coming to Sauk County over thirty years ago. The center of these interests have been at Loganville. Mr. Riggert was born in Germany December 13, 1868, son of Henry and Catherine (Marquard) Riggert. His father was born August 5, 1826, and his mother June 15, 1828. They were married in Germany and they reared in that country a family of eight children, noted as follows: William, born March 13, 1852; Herman, born March 29, 1854; George, born May 20, 1856; Adolph, born February 1, 1858; Otto, born April 8, 1860; Ernest, born.November 26, 1861; May, born April 20, 1864; and John, born December 13, 1868.
Mr. John Riggert acquired most of his education while a boy in Germany. In 1883, when he was fifteen years of age, he left the Fatherland, crossed the ocean and came to Sauk County, Wisconsin, where he joined some of his older brothers. For one year he attended school at Loganville and acquired a familiarity with the English language. He then entered the store of his brother William as a clerk at Reedsburg, and remained steadily in his employ for nine years. During this time he had familiarized himself with business, gained the confidence of people and was well prepared for embarking in business for himself. In February 1893, he and his brother William established a store at Loganville, and it was started under the name John Riggert & Company, a title which remains to the present time, though after four years, in 1897, Mr. John Riggert bought the entire establishment. For nine years the store was in the old Trexler Building, but in 1902 Mr. Riggert erected a store building of his own, 32 by 80 feet, two stories, and thoroughly stocked with merchandise of every description suited to the trade of that locality.
From handling this business Mr. Riggert's interests have gradually been spread to other affairs. In 1907 he started the Loganville Telephone Exchange, continued the management of the business until it had gained 275 subscribers and in 1917 sold out to W. H. Wheeler. In 1915 Mr. Riggert organized the Loganville State Bank, an institution that furnishes adequate banking facilities to that section of Sauk County. William Riggert is president, Charles King is vice president, while Mr. John Riggert gives his personal superintendence to the bank as cashier, the assistant cashier being Conrad C. Wiesler. Mr. Riggert in politics is a republican and for the past fifteen years has consecutively held the office of township treasurer of Westfield Township. He and his family are active members of the Lutheran Church. On March 3, 1897, he married Miss Elizabeth Schuette. She was born in Westfield Township of this county March 30, 1875. Mr. and Mrs. Riggert had two children, Lavita, who died at the age of two years; and Valera, born August 5, 1906. Mrs. Riggert is a daughter of John William and Dorothy (Reinecke) Schuette. Her grandfather, John Schuette, brought his family from Germany and settled on a farm in Westfield Township in pioneer times, in 1863. He and his good wife lived out the rest of their industrious lives in this community. Their children were Catherine, deceased, Elizabeth and John William. John William Schuette was born in Germany March 31, 1849, and was fourteen years of age when brought to Sauk County. He had attended the common schools in Germany and for a short time was a student in Westfield Township. On reaching manhood he bought sixty-three acres of land where his son Henry J. now lives. His success as a farmer enabled him to increase his holdings by the purchase of 160 acres adjoining, and most. of this was cleared up while he occupied it and some good substantial buildings erected. In 1905 he retired from the farm and he and his wife have since lived at Loganville. He is a democrat and for a number of years was side supervisor, and for four years assessor of the township. He and his wife are active Lutherans. October 24, 1869, John William Schuette married Miss Dorothy Reinecke, who was born in Germany in 1848, daughter of William and Margaret Reineeke. She was twenty years of age when in 1868 her parents located in Sauk County and found a home on a farm in Westfield Township. John William Sehuette and wife have six children: Amelia, wife of Edward Luhrsen, of Reedsburg; Henry J., owner of the old homestead, married Augusta Bargwart, of Jefferson County, and their three children are Arold, Harold and
Arciena; Elizabeth, wife of John Riggert; William, of Phoenix, Arizona,
who married Tina Kry and has children named Helen and William; Annie, who died in 1916, was wife of Henry Steckelberg and was the
mother of four children, Elva, Herbert, Arnold and Evelyn; Albert, a
resident of Columbus, Wisconsin, is married but has no children.
