DateLocationDescription
WILLIAM BURCKHARDT, a practical farmer of Merrimack Township, has lived and prospered in this agricultural section and by industry and diligence has found those rewards which constitute the object of every ambitious man's efforts. He was born in this county in 1874, and his parents, Christian Traugott and Sophia (Schuman) Burckhardt, were among the very early settlers in Merrimack Township. They were born in Germany, and Christian T. Burckhardt crossed the ocean and came to America alone in 1849. Miss Schuman came to this country in 1850 with her parents.
After locating in Sauk City Christian T. Burckhardt was employed for a time in the brick yard, and subsequently worked on the ferry boat at Watson's Ferry at Merrimack. After a few years he was able to establish a home of his own and he bought as the nucleus of his property forty acres on the township line between Sumpter and Merrimack townships. That farm is now the property of Mr. William Burckhardt, and has been under continuous development and improvement by members of the family for over half a century. Christian T. Burckhardt lived on the home farm until his death,
September 3, 1900. His widow passed away in 1908. Christian T. Burckhardt was a successful farmer, and he and his wife were almost the first settlers in that part of the county. They endured all the hardships of pioneer life and in time, in addition to providing for their growing family of children, they were able to add to their possessions until they owned about 170 acres of cultivated land and forty-nine
acres of woodland. Christian T. Burkhardt was a member of the Lutheran Church. A brief record of their children is as follows:
Emma, Mrs. John Gobbler, living near Hombard, Wisconsin; Herman, who is married and lives in the Town of Merrimack; Augusta, Mrs. Eschenbach; Emilia, Mrs. Herman Gattwinkle, of Prairie du Sac;
Louisa, Mrs. Frank Schlag, of Sauk City; Charles, who is married and lives in Texas; Edward, iarried and living on a farm in Merrimack Township; William; and Ida, deceased. Mr. William Burckhardt was married in 1910 to Emelia Bender,
daughter of Michael Bender, of Honey Creek Township, a well known farmer in that section. Mr. and Mrs. Burckhardt have two children: Henry, born January 7, 1911; and Clara, born March 10, 1914. Mr.
Burckhardt is a republican, Mrs. Burckhardt and children attend the Lutheran Church, of which they are members.
