WALTER GOETSCH of Washington Township is owner of one of the
largest and best equipped farms of that township, and is a representative
member of that great body of industrious and thinking producers who
earn every cent they get by adding honestly to the wealth of the world.
Mr. Goetsch was born in Washington Township of Sauk County
June 10, 1885. He represents the second generation of a hardy family
that has had much to do with the clearing and development of the lands
of Wisconsin. His parents Otto and Anna (Krueger) Goetsch, who now
live at Reedsburg retired, were both born in Germany and on coming
to America settled in Dodge County in 1861 and five years later moved
to a new tract of land in Washington Township, clearing up and developing
a farm for the use of their sons and daughters. Their children were:
Walter, Esther, Elsie, William, Arthur and Otto. All except Arthur
and Otto are married and established in homes of their own. Esther is the wife of Ernest Soltwedel. Elsie married William Harms of Westfield
Township. William married Alma Wieslow.
Walter Goetsch grew up and received his education in Washington
Township, and on May 8, 1912, married Marie Harms, daughter of Henry
and Louise Harms. Mr. and Mrs. Goetsch have one small daughter,
Margaretta, now four years old.
The Goetsch farm comprises 200 acres, including some of the best
soil in Washington Township. It has a notable group of building improvements,
and most of the buildings were constructed out of the native
stone. One special feature of the farm is a large stone silo, and that
gives tone and character to the quality of farming carried on by Mr.
Goetsch. Mr. Goetsch besides growing the staple crops keeps about sixty
head of cattle and runs a large dairy of about forty-three cows. In
politics he is independent and is a member of the Lutheran Church.
