Daniel Scholz
Daniel Scholz, who for many years was one of the best known and most respected citizens of Lincoln Township, was born in Schlesan, Germany, May 4, 1863, son of Gottlieb and Annie (Reuter) Scholz. The parents, both of whom are now deceased, came to America with their children in 1874, locating in section 7, Lincoln Township, this county, from wJiich place they removed subsequently to a homestead in section 11. On this latter farm they spent the rest of their lives. Daniel Scholz was eleven years old when the family settled in Trempealeau County. At an early age he assisted his father in the work on the farm, and after the death of his parents came into possession of the homestead, where he followed farming until his own death from drowning, March 24, 1913. His sudden removal while in the prime of life was a great grief to his family and a shock to the whole community. He had served as school clerk for nine years, and was a member and for most of his life had been an official of the German Lutheran church. Daniel Scholz was married Oct. 5, 1886, to Augusta Strege, who was born in Pomerania, Germany, Nov. 27, 1861, daughter of Herman and Caroline Strege, and who came to America in 1885. Mr. and Mrs. Scholz had nine children: Carl F. C, who manages the farm for his mother; Bertha, the wife of Henry Underwood, who assists Carl on the farm; Annie, who married Carl Woychik, a carpenter living near the Scholz farm, and has two children, Raymond and Adeline; Ella, wife of Albert Fromm, also living in the neighborhood, who has one child, Evelyn; Emma, a graduate of the La Crosse normal school, who has been teaching for four years in Hale Township; Clara, Rudolph, Paul and Otto, all of whom reside at home.
