4. Georg Martin Kühner
was born on 26 May 1826 in Botenheim, Württemberg, Germany. He emigrated
in 1854. He died on 30 May 1915 in Potosi, Grant Co, WI. He was buried in Van
Buren Cemetery, Potosi, Grant Co, WI. He was naturalized. From the Commemorative
Biographical Record of the Counties of Rock, Green,
Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette Wisconsin, J. H. Beers & Co., 1901, Chicago, IL.
MARTIN KUEHNER, of the town of Potosi, Grant county, is one of the well-known
German-American citizens of southwestern Wisconsin, where he has made his home
since 1861.
Mr. KUEHNER was born in Wittenberg, Germany, May 26, 1825, and grew to manhood
in the Fatherland, where he married his first wife. In 1854 he brought his
family to America, and located in the State of Ohio, making their home in Pike
county, that State, until their removal to Grant county, where, for over forty
years, Mr. KUEHNER has tilled the soil, and made for himself a home in the New
World.
On Jan. 12, 1882, the wife who had accompanied him from Germany, passed to her
last rest, leaving her husband and five children, four sons and a daughter,
to mourn her demise. In 1883 Mr. KUEHNER wedded his present wife, who in her
maidenhood was Amelia KOELLAR. She was a native of Germany, and came to America
in 1881. To this union have been born three sons and two daughters, namely:
William, Louisa, Adolph, Annie and Leo. They reside in their pleasant home
on Mr. KUEHNER's fine farm, where they are held in high esteem by their neighbors
and friends. Mr. KUEHER owes his present comfortable circumstances entirely
to his own industry and good management, and his standing in the business world
is that of an honest and upright man, and a thoroughly progressive citizen.
