         MARTIN BUCHLI, formerly a well-known and respected farmer
       of Montana township, Buffalo county, but now deceased, was 
       born in Switzerland, in January, 1866. He was eight years 
       old when his father died, and he remained in his native land
       until 1891, when he came to the United States and settled in 
       Montana township, Buffalo county, Wisconsin, where, for the 
       first two years he worked out for others. Then, on March 2, 
       1893, he was married to LOUISA FLORIN, who was born Sept. 28, 
       1863, daughter of ANDREW and SUSAN (SCHMANG) FLORIN, also 
       natives of that country, who came to the United States and 
       engaged in farming. Both are now deceased. They had eight 
       children: JOSEPH, PETER, MAGGIE, MARY, LOUISA, CAROLINA, LOUIS 
       and ANNA, the last mentioned of whom died in Canada. After 
       their marriage MARTIN BUCHLI and his wife settled on the farm, 
       in section 23, Montana township, on which she still resides, 
       and on which he lived until his death, Dec. 13, 1908. It con-
       tains 260 acres, of which 160 acres are now cleared. Here he 
       spent his time in its cultivation and improvement, and was a 
       widely known and respected citizen, whose passing away was an 
       event much regretted. Since then his wife has conducted the 
       farm with the assistance of her children. Four years ago she 
       bought an adjoining farm containing 125 acres, of which 95 
       acres is still timbered. MRS. BUCHLI does mixed farming, mainly 
       dairying and hog raising, keeping a herd of Holstein cattle. 
       She raises both stock and grain for the market and is conducting 
       a successful business, showing ability as a practical farmer. 
       Her barn measures 104 by 30 feet, and is provided with a stone 
       basement. In company with two of her neighbors she owns a 
       threshing outfit, and she is herself a stockholder in the Garden 
       Valley Creamery. Of her marriage with MR. BUCHLI four children 
       were born: ANNA, Feb. 2, 1894, who married NICHOLAS DASHER; 
       ARTHUR, Sept. 29, 1897, who is assisting his mother on the 
       farm; ELMER, Oct. 2, 1898, who is attending high school in 
       Arcadia, and LOUIS, Jan. 24, 1899, who is working on the farm.
