Notes
a. Note:   History of Peoria County - P. A. Kratzer P. A. Kratzer, who is engaged in agricultural pursuits in Rosefield Township, has resided on his present farm since 1866. At that date he purchased sixty-three acres of land and later, at different times, added adjoining tracts of forty acres, seven acres, eleven acres, forty acres and eighty two acres, making in all two hundred and fifty-three acres that he now owns. He makes a specialty of raising grain and live stock. He has fifty acres in corn, forty acres in wheat, thirty acres in oats, seventeen acres in timothy, twelve acres in clover, and one hundred and forty acres in pasture land. He owns one registered imported Percheron stallion, weighting two thousand pounds, and has one hundred Duroc Jersey hogs, thirty head of cattle and twelve head of horses.
 In 1889 Mr. Kratzer was united in marriage with Miss Katie Streider and they have become the parents of five children: Louis C., who is engaged in farming in Rosefield township; Lizzie, who died in November, 1907, at the age of seventeen years; and Philip, Walter and Ethel, all of whom are at home and are seventeen, fifteen and thirteen years respectively. In politics, Mr. Kratzer votes the republican ticket and he has served as road commissioner. He is greatly interested in the cause of education and has given efficient service as school director. Fraternally he is identified with the Modern Woodmen of America, and both he and his wife attend the Methodist Episcopal church. Both in raising grain and live stock Mr. Kratzer has had excellent success and he is now considered one of the substantial farmers of his township. He is thrifty and industrious and shows the most admirable traits of character in both business and social relations and, therefore, has the highest regard of all who know him.
