Bio
The following information was provided by FAG contributor janicet (#47361005) "... Our subject was married in York county, Nebraska, February 22, 1881, to August Senff. Mr. Senff had previously homesteaded the west half of the northwest quarter of section 27, township 10, range 4 west, which they still hold and at present also own the east half of the northeast quarter of section 27, same township and range. Their first home was a sod-house and in it they lived seven years. They then erected a comfortable house and substantial barn, cribs, and necessary buildings for enjoying the comforts of farm life. In the winter of 1893 Mr. Senff was taken ill with lagrippe, which affected his mind. As he did not recover he was placed in the hospital, but has shown little evidence of regaining his health. Still Mrs. Senff is hopeful and is keeping the farm free from any incumbrance and purchasing additional land, waiting her husband's return. Mr. and Mrs. Senff are the parents of five children: Frederick, William, Bertha, Louisa, August and Fernam. ... Mr. Senff was a soldier in the German army, before coming to America, but was naturalized in this country and has since voted the Republican ticket. " SOURCE: "Memorial and Biographical Record ....
