Mr Nolte was a devout member of the Evangelical church. He was regular teacher of a Sunday school class, and very seldom was he absent from this work.


Article from the 1914 History of Bremer County:
For almost thirty-seven years A Nolte has lived upon his present farm in Warren township and during the greater part of that time has been active in its cultivation, contributing in substantial measure to general growth and progress in this locality and winning a personal success which places him in the front ranks of progressive and successeful farmers of his township. He was born in Germany in 1852 and came to America with his parents when he was ten years of age.
A Nolte acquired his education in the public schools of Germany, but his advantages along that line were limited, as he came to America at the age of ten and never attended school to any great extent in Iowa. He remained upon his father's farm until the latter retired from active life and then took charge of the homestead, which upon his father's death came into his possession. He had lived upon this property for thirty-seven years and during that time has added to the original tract, owning today in partnership with his sons almost six hundred acres of land, practically all of which is under a high state of cultivation. It lies on sections 29 and 32, Warren township and is one of the finest tracts of land in this locality. Mr Nolte also owns a fine residence in Waverly and is well and favorably known in the city.
In 1873 Mr Nolte married Miss Amelia Witte, a native of Germany, who came to America when she was fifteen years of age and settled in Waverly, where she resided until her marriage. She was employed as a housemaid until her marriage to August. They have become the parents of fifteen children: Matilda; Fred, who lives in Warren township; Minnie, the deceased wife of Frank Thorn; Sarah, who married Frank Thorn after the death of his first wife; Charley, who lives in Warren township; Bertha, at home; Henry and Willie, both at home; Martha, the wife of Henry Lagechulte; John, at home; Frank, also at home; Laura, who is engaged in teaching; Elsie, at home; Ruth, who is attending school; and Harvey. The family were faithful members of the Warren Evangelical church.
Mr Nolte has lived in Bremer county for almost forty-seven years and has witnessed a great deal of the growth and progress of this part of Iowa. He is numbered among the men who have been active in shaping the course of agricultural development in this locality and he is held in high respect and esteem by those with whom he has come in contact in the course of his honorable and upright life.
