  • Notes 
    • William came from Germany at the age of 14. note on back of xeroxed family photo

      Their land was heavily timbered, so "they cleared and drained the land and made a very productive farm of it. William Schafer held an elected township or county office almost from the date of his residence in that part of the county. The village of North Creek which was platted in 1879, was partly located on his farm."
