Fred W. Kronberg. One of the fine farms of Bear Creek Town¬ ship has been developed out of the wilderuQss by the exertions and enter¬ prise of the Kronberg family. It is now owned by Fred W. Kronberg, one of the younger and more progressive farmers of Waupaca County.
It was his father Charles John Kronberg who began the clearing and developing of this place. The father was born in Germany, came to America as a young man, locating at Neenah, Wisconsin, where for • several years he was engaged in farming and teaming. He married Susan Heintermeister, a native of Stockridge, Wisconsin. In 1884 Charles John Kronberg removed to Bear Creek Township of Waupaca County, and acquired the 200 acres in sections 23 and 24 which are now so well known as the Kronberg farm. A very few acres had been cleared when he took possession, and even the clearings had not been ridden of the stumps which proved a serious obstacle to culti^i^tion. Year after year he served on_ the work of clearing and also did general farming and dairying, and prosperity cam.e to him in generous measure. In the spring of 1912 he removed from the farm to Clintonville, where he still resides. He and his family are members of the German Lutheran Church. Charles J. Kronberg and wife had eleven children: Anna, deceased; Henry; Louisk and Mary, deceased; Fred; Ida; Emma; Edward; William and Clara, deceased; and Richard.
