  • Notes 
    • Carl farmed in South Dresden Twp from 1902 to 1937, with the exception of the years 1907 to 1910, when they lived in Minneaapolis.
      He was a jeweller there.
      Carl was a man of many talents. He worked as a carpenter in his time off from his farming and several of his well built barns may be still standing in the Dresden community.
      Carl and his son Bruce, also had a blacksmith shop on their farm, repairing many of the neighbours implements and machinery. He also erected many of the windmills in the community.
      His most unique talent was making violins, and he was able to sell them as quickly as he had finished them.
      Carl died in a street fire in Los Angeles, caused by a gasoline truck esplosion. He was trying to rescue two people from a burning car, and he died in his efforts to save these 2 people.
