• Notes

  In 1892 Crawford County Platt Map, Paul is listed as a farmer in Denison, Crawford County, Iowa Paul Rosburg Paul Rosburg, one of the most popular and successful farmers in Perry township, was born in Germany on May 25, 1859, being the son of Frederick and Mary (Seitz) Rosburg, both of whom were natives of that country. In 1867 the family decided to come to America, where there were better opportunities for the parents and those dependent upon them. Educated as they were in the schools of Germany, they were taught the strictest economy and industry; thus it was that, when the father and mother left the land of their nativity and the many never-to-be-forgotten scenes of their childhood, they were well prepared, so far as their training was concerned, to care for themselves in the new land. The father, as a young man, learned the wagon-maker's trade, but when he came to the United States and located at Shellburg, Benton county, Iowa, where he died, he followed the occupation of a carpenter. To Frederick and Mary Rosburg were born the following children: Mary, William, Eula, Adolph and Paul. The mother of these children died many years ago, and after her death the father married Mary Schotle, to whom the following children were born: Charles, Herman, Margaret and Emma. The family were reared in the faith of the German Lutheran church and lived consistent Christian lives. Paul Rosburg was but eight years of age when he came with his parents to Benton county, Iowa, where he received his education and grew to manhood. In 1895 he was united in marriage to Marry Saggan and they established their home in Crawford county, where Mr. Rosburg owned a farm. In 1901 he sold his farm in that county and moved to Plymouth county, where he purchased land and at one time owned seven hundred and seventy-six acres. He now lives in section 2 and is engaged in general farming and stock raising, being numbered among the substantial and successful men of the county. The buildings were on the place when Mr. Rosburg purchased the tract, yet he has done much in the way of improvement. His farm is one of the best in the township and is under a high state of cultivation and nicely located. Mary Saggan Rosburg was born on September 7, 1864, and is the daughter of Hans and Christine (Storjohann) Saggan, who were natives of Denmark, and he was a soldier in the Prussian war. The family came to the United States in 1872, landing at the port of New York, and came at once to Chicago, The year after the devastating fire. Mr. Saggan farmed in Illinois for some years and then came to Iowa, locating in Crawford county. It was there that Paul Rosburg met and married their daughter, Mary, and to this union the following children have been born: Edward, who married Augusta Fester; August, whose wife is Alexandra Zoun; Christine, the wife of Fred Topken; Martin, whose wife is Agnes Curry; Julius; Charles; Marie, the wife of Harry Schindel; Ella, Paul and Anna.
