History of Cass County, Iowa
Continental Historical Co.,
Springfield, Ill: 1884


  -580-

        WILLIAM HOLSTE was born in Germany in 1832, and in 1847 came to
     America with his parents, and located in Cook county, Illinois, where
     they were among the first settlers.  He lived there until grown to
     manhood, assisting his father to improve the farm.  He was married in
     1855 to Miss MARY TATGE, a native of Germany.  He and his wife went to
     Benton county, Iowa, and were there among the early settlers.  They
     remained there eight years, when they returned to Cook county, buying
     a farm near the old homestead.  In 1881 he bought a farm in Victoria
     township, Cass county, Iowa, of six hundred and forty acres, which is
     one of the largest farms in the township. He has improved his farm,
     and has set out a large orchard.  Mr. and Mrs. HOLSTE have been
     blessed with six children — WILLIAM, GEORGE, HENRY, JOHNNIE, HERMAN
     and MARY.
