W. H. LANGLAS
Four hundred and eighty acres of excellent land in Sumner township pays tribute to W. H. Langlas, who is engaged in farming and stock raising. He was born in Davenport, Iowa, on the 5th of April, 1861, a son of Frederick and Lena (Wendel) Langlas, both natives of Germany. They grew to manhood and womanhood in that country, where their marriage was solemnized, and one child was born to them before they left their native land and emigrated to America in the fall of 1858. After landng in the United States they continued their journey westward to Daenport, Iowa, where the father found work as a laborer. Subsequently he rented land and engaged in farming. In 1872, when he came to this county, he purchased a quarter section of land in Sumner township, which is now owned by his son Henry. On the 7th of December, 1906, the father passed away. The last seven years of his life were spent with the subject of this review, as his wife, Lena, died in Marengo in January, 1899.
W. H. Langlas was reared under the parental roof and his education was afforded by the district schools. Even as a boy much of his time was taken up with farm work and his attendance at school was limited to three or fou days a week during the three winter months' term. Before reaching his twenty-first birthday he was married but for a year he continued to work for his father. However, in 1883 he began farming for himself, renting one hundred acres from his father, which he cultivated for a decade. In 1893 he purchased one hundred and forty-one acres on section 31, Sumner township, and subsequently bought an adjoining 100 acre tract. He resided upon that farm until 1901, when he sold out and removed to his present home which he had purchased the fall previous. From time to time he added to the quarter section which he at first purchased and is now the owner of four hundred and eighty acres of excellent land. He gives considerable attention to raising of stock but also raises the usual grains and his labors are efficient and profitable. He is identified with a number of local companies, being a stockholder and vice president of the Hilton Lumber Company of Conroy; a stockholder in the Iowa County Mutual Telephone Company and a stockholder and director of the People Savings Bank of Marengo.
Mr. Langlas was married on the 28th of January, 1882, to Miss Sophia Priem, of Waukesha, Wisconsin, and they became the parents of six children, three of whom survive: Nettie, the wife of Walter Hopp, of Elgin, Illinois; William, who married Ella WIese and is faring in Sumner township; and Earnest, at home. The wife and mother, Sophia, passed away in 1896, and in February 1898, Mr. Langlas was again married, Miss Minnie Guehrn becoming his wife. She s the sister of Fred Guehrn, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work. Mr. and Mrs. Langlas have three children: Mae J., Vernon G., and Minnie E. A., all at home.
Mr. Langlas is indepent in politics, voting according to the dictates of his best judgment rather than blindly following the commands of party leaders. He has served two terms as township trustee and takes a great interest in everything relating to public welfare. He is identified with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, belonging to Hebron Lodge, No. 148, and both he and his wife are church members, he being affiliated with the Congregational church and she with the German Reformed church. He believes thoroughly in the value of recreation and wholesome pleasure and finds much enjoyment in motoring. He is also a lover of fine horses and has given each of his sons a driving horse equal to the best in the county. His agreeable personality enables him to make friends readily and his sterling qualities of character and unquestioned ability bind his friends more firmly as the years pass.
