         ULRICH WALD, JR., who is connected with the Alma (Buffalo
       county) post office as rural mail carrier, was born in Alma
       township, Oct. 13, 1857, son of ULRICH, SR., and AGNES (READY)
       WALD, the scene of his birth being the original log cabin built
       by the father on the family homestead in Mill Creek valley,
       three miles east of Alma village. His parents being pioneers,
       his educational opportunities were limited, but in such little
       time as he had for self improvement he managed to acquire the
       rudiments of knowledge. Brought up on the farm, he naturally
       took to agriculture as his occupation, he and his brother JOHN
       renting a farm for some five years in Alma township. Later they
       bought an improved farm of 320 acres, also in this township,
       where they carried on general farming successfully, raising a
       good grade of stock, besides the usual crops. After being thus
       occupied until 1901, or thereabouts, MR. WALD sold out his
       agricultural interests, and came to Alma, where he has since
       been connected with the post office, as above mentioned. While
       on the farm he served as school clerk of his district and was
       supervisor for two years. MR. WALD was married in 1888 to
       MARY KLEINER, daughter of PETER and URSULA KLEINER, her par-
       ents being respectively of German and Swiss nationality.
       They settled in this county, where MR. KLEINER followed the
       trade of miller. To Mr. and Mrs. WALD two children have been
       born, ORMA and EDNA, both of whom are now teachers in Buffalo
       county. In addition to his mail route MR. WALD is janitor
       of the Buffalo county training school.
