The vocation of tilling the soil has been numbered among the honored occupations since early history.  Among the good, practical agriculturalists of Langlade County [Wisconsin] who thoroughly understand their vocation and have secured a full measure of success in the conduct of their farm is Fred BUELOW, a lifelong farmer, born in Germany on 30 July 1865, the son of Fred and Vendelina (STRICKER) BUELOW.

When six years of age he moved to Edgerton, Rock County, Wisconsin, and a year later the family moved to Oshkosh, Winnebago County, Wisconsin.  After residing there for six years, they moved to Clintonville, Waupaca County [Wisconsin].  For thirty-eight years Mr. BUELOW resided in the country, having his farm in the Town of Matteson [Waupaca County, Wisconsin].  In 1915 he moved to Enterprise [Oneida County], Wisconsin, and resided there on his tract of eighty acres for three years.  He then moved to Antigo Township, Langlade County, Wisconsin, in November 1917.  He has fifteen acres of well developed land and is engaged in general farming and the cultivation of strawberries.  He supplies the Antigo market with his luscious strawberries in season.

Fred BUELOW was married on 10 November 1892 to Minnie STEENBOCH, a native of Sheboygan County, Wisconsin.  To his union eight children were born:  Arthur, who resides on the eighty acre farm at Enterprise, Wisconsin; Hilda, now Mrs. William KUNZIE, of Enterprise, Wisconsin; Walter, Otto, Viola, Lydia, Raymond, and Gordon, all of Antigo Township [Langlade County].

While a resident of Matteson Township [Waupaca County], Mr. BUELOW was honored with fifteen years of successive duty as a school officer in District No. 3.  The BUELOWs are members of the Antigo Peace Evangelical Church.
