Louis Poppe, who is now living retired on a farm four miles south of Caledonia, after a number of years spent
in agricultural activity, was born near the city of Hanover, Germany, where he married Lena Niemier, a native of
the same locality. In 1884 they emigrated to the United States, locating first at Elmhurst, Ill., where Mr. Poppe
worked at the carpenter's trade for about a year, after which he spent the same length of time in farming there.
Then coming to Houston county, Minn., he settled on a farm in the southeastern part of the county, near New Albin,
Iowa. In that location he remained for a year and then moved to another farm in this county, subsequently retiring
to his present location, on a farm operated by his son, William. His wife is also residing there. They have been
the parents of six children.
