820 HISTORY OF WAUPACA COUNTY offices of some of his countrymen in New York, found employment and for several years worked in weaving mills in the East. It is doubtful that he felt satisfied in his new surroundings for before long he began to plan changes, the result of which was that he and his brother sought new homes in Cook County, Illinois. It is possible that they might have established themselves permanently there had not the prevailing malaria of the section attacked them. To escape the "ague" as the disease was called, they determined to proceed still farther west, rightly deciding on Wisconsin and her tonic, health-giving climate. It was in 1856 that Salomon Mundinger and his brother located in Waushara County, and here he spent the remainder of his life, an industrious and worthy one, and died January 16, 1886. He married Julia Abraham, who was born at Posen, Germany, and they became the parents of Rye children, namely: P. W., John AV., Adeline, Gustav Solomon and Henry R. The parents were members of the German Lutheran Church. F. W. Mundinger attended the district schools near his father's farm in boyhood, then learned the carpenter trade and worked at the same until 1885, when he moved on a farm of eighty acres, in Little Wolf Township, Waupaca County, which he had purchased three years before. For eight years Mr. Mundinger operated that farm but in 1893 moved into the Village of Manawa, and during the four years that-he resided there worked at his trade. In 1897 he purchased eighty acres of unim¬ proved land, which is located on section 23, Little Wolf Township, to which original purchase he had added and now has a fine farm of 120 acres. This property he has substantially improved and the appearance of comfort and atmosphere of thrift that prevails indicate that Mr. Mundinger has wisely chosen his vocation in life. In 1903 he bought an interest in a sawmill, in Price County, Wisconsin, and his presence there was necessary until 1907, when he returned to his farm and has resided here ever since. In 1885 Mr. Mundinger was married to Miss Hulda Timm, who was born July 19, 1861, and is a daughter of Daniel Timm. Mr, and Mrs. Mundinger have three children: Louis, Lydia and John. They are mem¬ bers of the German Lutheran Church, of which he has been church treasurer. In politics he is a republican, and for the last eight years he has been treasurer of Little Wolf Township, a fact that proves very conclusively the high place he occupies in the confidence of his fellow citizens. John D, Laughlin, who was reared on a farm, found his first con¬ genial place in the world as a railway telegrapher and for a number of years was telegraph operator and station agent at Marion. He was pro¬ moted from that work to the office of postmaster under the present administration, and is now carefully handling the business of Uncle Sam in that community. He was born in Manitowoc County, AVisconsin, October 14,1868, a son of Dennis Laughlin. His father was one of the early settlers of Mani¬ towoc County, where he spent his active career as a farmer.
