KUHN BROTHERS, PAUL C. EMIL, who are successfully
carrying on general farming in section 16, Washburn Township, were
born in Saxony, Germany Emil, Feb. 27, 1876, and Paul C., Sept. 12,
1878. They were brought to America by their parents in 1881,
locating near Milwaukee, where they received a good education and
grew to manhood. They worked at various occupations, saving their
money, and in 1903 they purchased eighty acres of land in Section
16, Washburn Township, Clark County, the tract being all wild and
timbered. They worked early and late and in due time built up a
fine farm, with a good dwelling and substantial buildings thereon,
and today they and their families are numbered the representative
people of the county. While developing their farming the early
years they used to work out summers to earn money to on, while they
cleared the farm in the winter. They followed general farming,
their cattle being of the Holstein breed and of good grade. They
are sober, industrious citizens, and take a lively interest in
whatever seems to be for the betterment of their county. Both
brothers are interested in the Shortville Dairy Company and Farmers
Elevator at Neillsville. Paul C. was secretary of the Dairy Company
for eight years, and is now its treasurer.
He was married in June, 1913, to Ethel
Carter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Carter, of Washburn
Township. He and his wife have one child, Ernest Paul, who was born
May 29, 1914. Emil Kuhn is unmarried. Ernest Kuhn and Emily Hamenn,
parents of Kuhn brothers, were both natives of Germany, where they
were married in 1874. In his native land Ernest was a carpenter.
They came to America in 1881, their family locating near Milwaukee,
where he followed his trade until 1906, when they came to Clark
County and bought forty acres. They now reside in Washburn
Township.
