Walter Junghans - birth certificate

My grandfather, Walter was born to Paul and Wilhelminia Junghans on January 24, 1909 in the township of Pine Valley, Clark County, Wisconsin.



Walter was the last child of Paul and Minnie and their only child to be born outside of Milwaukee.

Moving from Milwaukee

In 1900, Paul and Wilhelmina (Minna) Junghans left Milwaukee with their three children, William, Carl and Paul Jr. Paul left his life as a tanner behind and became a farmer.

According to Paul's grandson, Richard Junghans, Paul left Milwaukee because "he couldn't take it any more in the lye pits at Gallun's leather works."

On March 26, 1900 they purchased a farm in Clark County, Wisconsin. Here is a copy of the original deed:



Paul and Minna bought the farm for $2600. It included:

- the house
- two heifers
- one mower
- one house rake
- two drags
- one plow
- one wagon
- one set of Sleighs
