William S. Bottensek, treasurer of Hansen Township, and proprietor of a modern, prosperous farm in that township, was born at Medina, in Outagamie County, Wis., April 7, 1881, son of August and Marietta (Scott) Bottensek. The father was of German parentage and was born near Madison, Wis., his family moving to Medina when he was three years of age; he was brought up on a farm near that place and upon reaching maturity bought a farm of his own which he operated until his retirement from active life in 1908. . William S. was raised on his parents' farm, attending school and assisting in the operation of the farm until 1910, when he came to Wood County, and bought 80 acres of land in Section 26, of Hansen Township. The land was partly improved, but there was much clearing and grubbing of stumps to be done, and the buildings were unsatisfactory. Mr. Bottensek has built this property up into a fully improved and well-kept farm; he has cleared the new land and has removed the stumps from the remainder, and he has erected a new 36 by 60 foot barn and silo. He is now carrying on general farming and dairying; he has a good herd of grade Holsteins, and conducts his agricultural operations along modern, scientifically approved lines. He is highly respected throughout the community, and has been treasurer of Hansen Township for some six years. Mr. Bottensek was married at Weyauwega Wis., Oct. 5, 1905 to Pearl Harris.
