John A. Treue served his time in the Prussian Guard, then came to the United States in 1860 and settled at Red Wing, Minnesota. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he volunteered and was placed in Company H., 5th Minnesota Infantry, where he served the entire conflict. At the close of the War, John A. Treue married Caroline Izen at Red Wing, Minnesota.
Children born to this union were: William, Walter J., Charlie, Ed, Ida, and Dora. His health began to fail due to exposures and injuries in the War, making a change in climate, so the couple moved to Graham in August of 1876. He homesteaded 160 acres six miles east of Graham and built a log house. Mr. Treue lived on this land until his death. John Treue was a carpenter by trade and during the early days furnished the sills, sleepers, and rafters from native post oak for practically all the buildings. Lumber hauled from Fort Worth was too expensive to use for anything except finishing. John Treue burned and delivered lime to Graham. The coal consumed in Graham consisted of 100 tons per year. Mr. Treue stripped and hauled from Coal Creek, 12 miles north of Graham. Mr. Treue had been a farmer, rancher, and freighter between Graham and Weatherford. He fought as a soldier in the Union Army for four years.
Col. E.S. Graham employed John A. Treue to sink the two shafts for mineral tests on the Twin mountains.
