Stephen Stoflet, Jr., a prosperous farmer in Arpin Township, son of Stephen and Martha (Blaschke) Stoflet, was born in Dane County, Wis., April 2, 1897. He received his education in Dane and Wood Counties and remained with his parents until 1913, assisting in the operation of the farm. He then went to Madison, rented a tract of eight acres there, and spent two years in raising tobacco on this land. He returned to Wood County in 1915 and after spending one year on his father's farm, rented the old C. E. Bluett farm. In 1918 he purchased this property, which consists of 80 acres of finely improved land in Section 15, Arpin Township, and has since operated it, carrying on general farming and dairying. He has a good herd of Holstein cattle with a pure-bred sire at the head, and has been highly successful in his operation of this property. Nov. 22, 1916, at Auburndale, Wis., he married Elsie Panzer, who was born Oct. 26, 1892, daughter of Fred and Ida (Grubbe) Panzer. Mrs. Stoflet's father was a native of Germany and came to the United States with his parents when he was four years old; the family settled at Mayville, Wis., and later removed to Hewitt, in Wood County; Fred Panzer, Mrs. Stoflet's father, died Dec. 31, 1901; the mother later married August Luepke, and is now residing in Arpin Township. Mr. and Mrs. Stoflet have four children: Stephen, born Oct. 11, 1917; Earl, born April 3, 1919; Carol, born Sept. 5, 1920; and May, born March 2, 1922.
