Notes

LAMBERT VANDENBERG, one of the self-made men of Outagamie county, who has become successful as an agriculturist through the force of his own industry, hard work and perseverance, backed by a strong determination to win, was born on the farm which he now occupies, June 14, 1864, and is a son of John W. and Mary (Sass) Vandenberg. John W. Vandenberg was born in Holland and came to the United States when about thirty-five years of age, bringing with him his mother and a brother, Gilbert, and two sisters, Harriet and Anne. He settled first for a time in Washington county, Wisconsin, and then came to Freedom township, Outagamie county, buying wild land, which later was developed into the flourishing farm now occupied by his son Lambert. The children were born here in the little log house and Lambert Vandenberg, although possessed of an intense desire for a good education, received only meager opportunities, what little tuition he secured being received in the little red schoolhouse in Freedom, which he attended during a few months in the year when there was nothing to do on the farm. His principal school, however, was the school of hard work, and when still a little lad was given almost a grown man's work to accomplish each day, but this probably instilled in him the traits of thrift, economy and perseverance and fitted him for the struggle that was to come afterwards and which was eventually to lead him to success. At the age of eighteen years he left home and went to Iowa, where for two years he worked on a farm, and then returned home. He was married July 10, 1894, to Miss Elizabeth Scholl, daughter of John Scholl of Freedom township, and to this union there have been born fourteen children, of whom three are deceased, the living being: John, Ellen, Joseph, Theodore, Johannah, Minnie, Vincent, Agnes, Rosella, Elmer and Angeline. When he was first married, Mr. Vandenberg rented the home place for three years and then bought the property, on which he has carried on general farming ever since. He is known as a public-spirited citizen, and during the past few years has served his township as postmaster. He and his wife belong to the Catholic Church in the village of Freedom.
