[S975323565] 1918, Biography of William Alwin (son-in-law of Louisa Diebel). WILLIAM ALWIN is one of the native sons of Sauk County, and has ordered his life along the pleasant and not unprofitable lines of agricul- ture and owns one of the notable farms of Baraboo Township. He was born in Honey Creek Township of Sauk County July 4, 1861, a son of Martin and Caroline (Radel) Alwin. His parents were born in Germany, were married there, and in 1856 crossed the Atlantic and came to Sauk County, Wisconsin. In Honey Creek Township they acquired a tract of land and developed it into a farm which has been in the family possession ever since. It is now owned by their son, Herman Alwin. They also acquired another farm about a mile away, and on that second place Martin Alwin spent his last years. He died in 1896, at the age of sixty-nine, and his widow passed away in 1903, aged sixty-nine. Martin Alwin began voting as a republican but sub- sequently became affiliated with the democratic party. He and his family were active* members of the German Lutheran Church at Leland in Honey Creek Township. Their children were nine in number: Fred, Julious, Augusta, William, Herman, Martin, Amelia, Louisa and August, the last three being deceased. HISTORY OF SAUK COUNTY Mr. William Alwin grew up on the old homestead farm. He at- tended the local public schools and also the Sauk City High School. For over thirty years he has been prosperously and -actively engaged in farming on his own account and is now the owner of a place of 260 acres in Baraboo Township. He has thrifty and well tended fields and does considerable stock raising. He also owns a block of stock in the Excelsior Cooperative Creamery Company of Baraboo. Politically Mr. Alwin is a republican, but active merely as a voter and never an aspirant for office. He is a member of the Lutheran Church at Baraboo. On October 22, 1890, he married Miss Bertha Graf, who was born in Sumpter Township of Sauk County August 30, 1871, a daughter of Christian and Louisa (Diebel) Graf. Both her parents were born in Germany but came to this country and to Wisconsin when young and were married in Sumpter Township. Her mother was thirteen years of age when she came to Sauk County with her parents, Martin and Christiana (Hansen) Diebel. That was in 1848. Martin Diebel and wife spent their last years in Sumpter Township on their farm. Christian Graf was a carpenter by trade and located in Sumpter Township in 1855. Mrs. Alwin's mother had first married Carl Schied, and by that marriage there were two children: Christina, wife of Frank Eschenbeck, and Fred, now deceased. Mrs. Alwin was one of six chil- dren: Henry, Louisa, Charles, Herman, Bertha and William, Charles and William being deceased. Mrs. Alwin's father died at Prairie du Sac in 1908, at the age of eighty-three, and her mother passed away October 29, 1910, at the age of seventy-five. Mr. and Mrs. Alwin have six children, William C., Selma, Caroline, Martin, Esther and Rodger. Selma married Fred Kuntzelnan and their two children are Lasetta and Harold. Caroline graduated from the Sauk County Normal and for the past four years has taught at Baraboo Township. The youngest child, Rodger, though only fourteen years of age, is now in the third year of the Baraboo High School. Information on parents of Bertha Graf (Louisa Deibel and Christian Graf) is toward the end of the bio of her husband William Alwin. Pages 811-812
