Peter John Saxer & Louisa Agnes Wetzel
Biographical record of South Dakota, published 1899 by G.A.Ogle & Co, Chicago

Peter J. Saxer, who owns and operates a well-improved farm on section 12, Richland township,
Beadle county, first saw the light August 12, 1842, as it was reflected from the Alpine heights
in Switzerland. His parents were Peter and Ursula (Mengelt) Saxer, in whose family were fifteen
children, twelve are still living and Peter J. is the third in order of birth. The father worked in the
customhouse of his native village (Spügen), but finding it hard to bring up so large a family on the
wages be received, he decided to emigrate to America, which he did when our subject was in his
twelfth year, first settling in Galena, Ill. A year later be removed to Dubuque, Iowa, and on again
changing his residence located on farm near La Crosse, in La Crosse county, Wisconsin.

Our subject worked with his father on the home farm until after the Civil war broke out, when,
feeling that his adopted country needed his services, be enlisted at La Crosse, December 30, 1863,
in Company D, Fourteenth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. His discharge papers show that be
passed through the following engagements: The Red River expedition, in 1864; the battle of Tupelo,
July 13; the battle of Nashville, December 15 and 16; also the siege of Vicksburg, from March 27
to April 9, 1865, when the city surrendered; and discharged in Mobile, Alabama.

Returning to his home at the close of the war, Mr. Saxer resumed farming which be continued to
follow even through four years of privations in Minnesota, known as the grasshopper time. This
turned him back toward his old home in Wisconsin, but this time as renter, and he remained there
three years. Going to Wausau, that state, be engaged in the lumber business there for a time,
but in April, 1883, we find him located on the southwest quarter of section 7, Logan township,
Beadle county, South Dakota. Not being successful in getting water on this claim, be sold it and
bought the northeast quarter of section 12, Richland township. While farming in Wisconsin he
worked at carpentering at odd times, and since coming to Dakota this has been of great value to
him, giving him additional employment, besides enabling him to erect for himself good, substantial
buildings that are models of neatness and comfort.

In La Crosse county, Wisconsin, Mr. Peter J. Saxer was married in 1869 to Louisa A. Wetzel,
who was born January 8, 1852, a daughter of Gustaf and Bertha (Liebrecht) Wetzel. Of this union
seven children have been born, their names and dates of birth being as follows: John P., April 20
1870 (deceased); John M., August 14, 1971; Paul L., Sept. 11, 1873; Claud L., October 16, 1878;
Arthur H., August 20, 1880; Lucia L., July 12, 1884; and Edward R., duly 14, 1886.
Of this interesting family four have graduated from the public schools.

In early life Mr. Saxer voted with the Republican party, but during President Grant's administration
be was converted to Democracy, and later teas identified himself with the Populists. At present be
chairman of his township, and also chairman of the township school board. His support is always
given those interests which be behaves calculated to advance the interests of his community, and
be is one of the most highly respected and esteemed citizens of Richland township.

Samuel Schilling & Anna Maria Saxer

Extract of 'History of Northern Wisconsin' (Submitted by Cathy Kubly)

Samuel Schilling, merchant, [Alma, Buffalo County, Wisconsin] junior member of the firm of
Tester & Schilling, was born 09 October 1852 in Buffalo County, of German or Swiss parents.
In 1873 he engaged in business with Mr. [John W.] TESTER. In 1874 Samuel Schilling married
Annie SAXER, who was born 01 March 1853 in Switzerland. They have one child, Edwin.

The Territory of Wisconsin was created from part of Michigan Territory on 20 April 1836, and
the State of Wisconsin on 29 May 1848. Buffalo County did not take begin to take shape until
January 1853, when it was set off for judicial purposes from LaCrosse County. Land from
Chipppewa County was attached to Buffalo in January 1854, and on 24 March 1854 the portion
of LaCrosse County west of the Trempealeau River was also added. Finally a strip was severed
from the east side of Buffalo and added to Trempealeau County when that county was created
in 1854.

This Schilling family is enumerated in the 1880 census of Alma, Buffalo County, Wisconsin:
Samuel Schilling, age twenty-seven, hardware merchant, born in Wisconsin, about 1853 by his
census age, to parents also born in Switzerland (not Germany as given in the biography; he was
probably born in a German-speaking area of Switzerland; Anna Schilling, his wife, twenty-five,
born in Switzerland, about 1855 (biography gives 1853 as her year of birth), to parents also born
there; Edwin Schilling, his son, age three, born in Wisconsin to a father born in Wisconsin and
mother born in Switzerland.
