  Amerland, Herman, farmer; lands lying in sections 3 and 4, range 10, township 110, and aggregate 
 two hundred acres. Mr. Amerland has resided in Wabasha county on his present farm almost thirty 
 years, having taken his claim of eighty acres as a homestead in 1854. This claim was proved up in 
 1858; forty acres were added by scrip title, and rest since acquired. The crop for 1883 was: corn, 10 
 acres, yield per acre, -bushels; oats, 14 acres, yield per acre, 40 bushels; wheat, 12 acres, yield per 
 acre, 18 bushels; barley, 10 acres, yield per acre, 35 bushels; grass, 30 acres, yield per acre, 2 tons; 
 stock, 95 head. Mr. Amerland was born in Hanover, Germany, May 14, 1822; married Miss Catharine 
 Budke, of his native place, January 2, 1852, and the following year, 1853, came to America. That 
 winter was spent in St. Louis, and in the following June a settlement was made in the farm, which has 
 now been the family home for over twenty-nine years. The children, all born in this county, are: 
 Henry, born November 8, 1855, graduated from Wabasha High School in 1873, and now banking at 
 Minto, Dakota; Anna, born April 8, 1857; Louisa, born June 23, 1859; Sophia, born March 23, 1864; 
 Eduard, born January 9, 1870; John, born April 25, 1872; Clara, born February 18, 1875. Three of the 
 children are in attendance at the Wabasha city school, the farm lying partly within the city limits.
