        HANS BORNHOLT, the younger of two children born to MAX and KATE
     (HADENFIELDT) BORNHOLT, is a native of Holstein, Germany, and was born
     in March, 1838.  The mother died in the old country, when the father
     married ANNA HENDRICKS, who became the mother of six children, one of
     whom lives in Valparaiso.  The father died in Germany in 1868; the
     widow survives and still resides in that country.  In the spring of
     1864, HANS BORNHOLT came to Valparaiso, and for about four months
     worked as a laborer on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railroad.
     In January, 1865, he enlisted in Company B, One Hundred and Fifty-
     first Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and served about eight months. Re-
     turning, after the war, he learned the butcher's trade, which he has
     followed ever since, with the exception of one year in which he was
     engaged in farming.  He was married, March 4, 1864, to ANNA HARBEK,
     who has borne him five children - CHARLEY, GUS, JULE, LEO and LYDIA.
     Mr. BORNHOLT is a Republican and has served two terms as Trustee.
     He and wife are members of the Lutheran Church, and rising from
     comparative poverty, Mr. B. has secured for himself and family a good
     property and a first-class trade.
