  • Notes 
    • AUGUST ENDTER, an honored pioneer of the town of Freedom, Outagamie county, who has been identified with the growth and development of this part of the state, is a native of Germany and a son of Casper Endter, who came to this country during the Civil War with his wife, Katherine, and three children. He settled first in Milwaukee, where he lived for a few years, then spent two or three years on a rented farm in the town of Freedom, this county, and eventually bought a small farm in Grand Chute, on which he spent the remainder of his life. August Endter was born February 20, 1839, in Germany, and came to the United States prior to his parents in 1857. In 1862 he was married to Amelia Betcher, who was born in Germany, August 6, 1839, and came to the United States with her parents, Charles and Henrietta Betcher. At the time of his marriage, Mr. Endter was living in Milwaukee, and he continued to work there for five or six years, at the end of which time he came to Outagamie county and purchased the farm on which he is now living. The only clearing that had been done on this land at that time was the cutting down of a part of the timber, and the stumps of this were still in the ground. Mr. Endter's implements for clearing his land were crude and the work of developing the land was slow, but he was persevering and industrious and after a number of years began to see his land take on the appearance of a prosperous farm, but the family lived in the little original log house for twenty years before the present comfortable home was erected. Mr. Endter now has one of the best properties in this part of the township, and it has all been developed through his, own hard labor and industry. Mr. and Mrs. Endter were the parents of eleven children, one of whom is dead, Theodore, who met an accidental death in the woods when he was twenty years of age. Those who. survive are: Anna, Charles, Lena, Hettie, Bernard, Emil, Augusta, Tilla, Paulina and Frederick. Mr. and Mrs. Endter are members of the German Lutheran (St. Peter's) Church of Freedom township, and Mr. Endter is the only survivor of the thirteen men who built the first church of this congregation.
