Bio
"Christian Schad, for many years an enterprising and successful farmer of Highland and Plainview townships, but now retired, was born in Germany. After coming to America he was married to Cecelia Ruff, a native of this country, and they settled in Highland Township, where they purchased 320 acres of practically wild land. To clear and develop this tract into a good farm was a formidable task, but Mr. Schad finally accomplished it, his labors including the erection of buildings. After residing on that place until 1898, he sold it and purchased a farm of 400 acres in Plainview Township, where he continued in agricultural pursuits until his retirement. He still resides there, but has divided the farm among his sons. His wife passed away in 1911." [Franklin Curtiss-Wedge, Compiler, "History of Wabasha County, Minnesota" (H. C. Cooper, Jr. & Company, Winona, Minnesota, 1920, pp. 251-252)]
