         HENRY C. BORGWARDT, who is connected with the post office at
       Alma, Buffalo county, as rural mail carrier, after a number of
       years spent in successful agriculture, was born in Alma town-
       ship, this county, son of FREDERICK and REKA (DUERKOPF) BORG-
       WARDT, the date of his birth being Oct. 1, 1877. He grew to 
       manhood on his parents' farm, first attending district school
       and afterwards the normal school at River Falls. The next five
       years of his life were spent as a teacher in Buffalo county,
       three years of the time in Alma township, and two in Lincoln
       township. In the summer vacations he worked at farming. Having
       saved some money, he then bought a farm of 276 acres in Alma
       township, an improved place, on which he carried on general
       agriculture for three years with profitable results. At the
       end of that time he sold the greater part of the farm, re-
       taining only 40 acres of the land, which he still owns. At
       the time he gave up the farm he became connected with the 
       rural mail service, working on Route No. 1 as carrier until
       the local post office was done away with, the route becoming
       No. 3 of the Alma post office. On that he worked for six years,
       and was then transferred to Route No. 1, out of Alma, at which
       time he took up his residence in the city. He was a stockholder
       in the Wenger Cheese Factory, of which he was formerly presi-
       dent. MR. BORGWARDT was married, Sept. 16, 1905, to LILLIAN
       FIMIAN, who was born in Alma township, daughter of GEORGE and
       LUCY (OBRECHT) FIMIAN. He and his wife have one child, GEORGE,
       who was born Feb. 10, 1911.
