From Commemorative Biographical Record of the Counties of Rock, Green, Grant, Iowa and Lafayette Wisconsin, publ. 1901 - page 725-726 CHRIST F. HARTWIG, residing on a fine farm of 400 acres four miles north of Juda, Green county, is a son of William Ludwig and Sophia (HEBBERMAN) HARTWIG, who were born in Delitzsch, Germany, and were married in 1849. They came to Wisconsin in 1855. They were the parents of four children, of whom the eldest, (1) Christ F., is our subject. (2) William, born in 1853, married Mary ANSMEIR, and died in 1887. (3) Ferdinand, born in 1855, married Mary AUSMUS, and is now dead. (4) Mary, born in 1865, is now the wife of Ferdinand AUSMUS, a farmer in Sylvester. William Ludwig HARTWIG was born in 1825, and died in 1890. Mrs. Sophia HARTWIG, his widow, was born in 1824, and is still living in Juda, much respected by all who know her. Christ F. HARTWIG was born Feb. 4, 1850, in Delitzsch, Germany, and was about five years old when he came to this country with his parents. He has followed farming all his life, and has been an active and industrious man. Part of the home place, which was taken by his father in 1858, is included in his own extensive landed possessions. On Jan. 15, 1874, Mr. HARTWIG was married to Miss Libbie, daughter of Phillip HENN, of the town of Jefferson, a German by birth. This union has been blessed with six children: Lydia, who is living with her grandmother, Mrs. Sophia HARTWIG, in Juda; and Minnie, Clara, Edward, George and Lillie, all at home. Mr. HARTWIG was reared on the paternal estate, and acquired his education in the common schools. Beginning life a poor boy, he has worked hard, taken advantage of every opportunity, and prospered, now owning 400 acres of fine land in the town of Sylvester, which is worth at the very lowest calculation, eighty dollars an acre. There are fine buildings and ample equipments on the place, and high grade and profitable farming is the order. Politically Mr. HARTWIG is a Republican, and has served his town as school director and in other local offices. He has been a consistent member of the Evangelical Church at Juda, Wis., for many years. He has an unquestioned standing as a progressive farmer, and an honest and upright man. Our subject was named after his grandfather, Christian HARTWIG, who came to this country, about thirty-five years ago, and died in the town of Sylvester soon after his arrival, at the age of seventy-five years.
