Gaulke Family, Otto

I was born Nov. 13, 1883, in Milwaukee. At the age of 16 I learned the molder trade and worked in a foundry.

On Sept. 30, 1911, I was married to Clara Franke of Chili, and we moved to Clark County, Wis. in 1914 to a 40 acre farm, one mile south and 1/4 mile east of Chili. Later we purchased 20 acres east of our farm from Dows Angel.

We retired in 1948 and moved to the Charley Mundt house. We lived there six years, then moved to the village of Chili in 1954, to the former Chili Hotel, where we now reside. We have seven children, Clarence, Lorraine, Esther, Edwin, Warren, Irene, and Verna (now deceased).
