Lautenbach, Louis & Martha

Louis Lautenbach and Martha Opelt were married in 1922.  To this union one son, Leroy, was born.  They worked at farming on the place known as the John Schoen place on Day’s Corners (Clark Co., Wis.).  Later, in 1925, they moved a house from Day’s Corners to the 80 acres of land which they purchased in sections 4 and 9, later owned by Rev. Koehler.  This 80 had 12 acres of cleared land; after clearing more land and building a barn they farmed until 1960 when Louie and Martha accepted work as janitor and cook at the Consolidated Pine View School until 1965 when they retired and moved to Neillsville, Clark Co., Wis. where Louie passed away.  Martha still resides in their home in that city.
