  Baumgarten, Hon. Henry, is descended from German parents, and was born in Germany 
 November 16, 1848. His education was obtained in the common schools of his native country and the 
 balance of his youth was spent in the usual duties of farming. When about twenty years of age he 
 came to this country and settled at first at Reedsburg, Wisconsin, in the summer of 1868. At this place 
 he was engaged in farming. In 1874 he removed to Wabasha and worked one year for Lucas Kuehn, 
 and started in the hotel business in 1878, having carried on the same until the present with good 
 success. In 1883 he was elected representative from this district to the general assembly of the State 
 of Minnesota by the democracy of Wabasha county, and was a member of the engrossing committee. 
 In 1874 he was married to Emma Scholtz. He is a member of the I.O.O.F. and Turn Verein.
