H. C. Cooper, Jr. & Co., Winona, MN - 1919 [page 477-478] MARTIN ALLEMANN, one of the leading farmers of Montana township, Buffalo county, owner of a farm of 400 acres, his residence lying in section 25, was born in Switzerland, March 16, 1868, son of CHRIST and URSULA (MEILI) ALLEMANN. His parents, who never came to this country, are now deceased. Their children were: GEORGE, now deceased; ELIZABETH, deceased; CHRIST, who resides in Montana; FRANK, who is living in Switzerland; URSULA, who died in Billings, Mont.; ANNA, residing in Switzerland; ROSA, deceased; two who died in infancy; MARTIN, subject of this sketch; a son, who died in Switzerland, and MARGUERITE, who is living in Switzerland. MARTIN ALLEMANN grew to manhood in his native land, where he served some time as a soldier in a cavalry regiment. He was in his twenty-second year when he came to the United States, locating in Buffalo county in 1890. He engaged in farm work here and for a while was similarly occupied in Billings, Mont., where his eldest child was born. In 1903 he returned to Buffalo county, Wisconsin, and bought the farm on which he now lives - a farm of 400 acres, 150 acres of which are cleared, the remainder being covered with timber. Here MR. ALLEMANN is engaged in general farming, making a specialty of dairying and hog raising, his cattle being of the Red Poll variety. He has made exten- sive repairs on his buildings, which are now all in good condition, and has taken rank among the successful and substantial farmers of his township. He is part owner of a threshing outfit and is a stock- holder in the Garden Valley Creamery. On April 16, 1898, MR. ALLEMANN was united in marriage with URSULA CHRIST, who was born in Montana township, March 18, 1878, daughter of CONRAD and MARGARET CHRIST. He and his wife are the parents of 8 children: LILY, born Dec. 26, 1899; CONRAD, March 23, 1902; EMIL, April 14, 1904; CHRIST, April 29, 1906; ROSE, Dec. 14, 1908; URSULA, Sept. 6, 1911; MARTIN, July 15, 1914, and ALLEN, born June 12, 1918, all of whom are residing at home. ===========================================================================
