Nick Kallenbach

As printed in 1911

The farm owned and occupied by Nick Kallenbach. of the vicinity of Grand Mound, Clinton county, will rank with any in the township in point of productiveness and general appearance, showing conclusively that he has been a man of modern ideas and that he has not passed a large number of idle hours since taking possession of the same, for he believes in keeping busy, always finding something to do in his regular crop and farm work or in keeping up the fences, buildings in repair, weeds cut and his live stock properly cared for.
