H. D. SINGSTOCK, who is carrying on a good
farming business in Section 7, Colby Township, was born in Waupaca
County, Wis., May 3, 1881, son of Ferdinand and Caroline Singstock.
His parents came to the United States from Germany in 1871,
locating in Winnebago County, Wis., later removing to Waupaca
County, Ferdinand coming to Clark County in 1901. Here he bought
ninety acres of land ready for the plow, with twenty acres ready to
stump. His wife had died in 1900 in Waupaca County, but he still
survives and is now a resident of Oshkosh, Wis. Seven of their
children are now living. H. D. Singstock took charge of this farm
in 1905. It now contains 200 acres, of which, in 1916, he had
forty-five acres planted in hay, thirty in oats, five in corn and
five in barley, with a little rye. He keeps graded Holstein cattle,
milking twenty cows, and also raises some hogs, doing a successful
business in the various branches of agriculture that he follows. He
has served as township supervisor for six years, and as school
clerk four years.
