About Joseph Henry Kuhl
Joseph H. Kuhl was born in Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin, and when a young man his parents moved to Mills county, Iowa, where he farmed with his father. After his marriage he rented a farm for two years and then moved to Shelby county, arriving here in the summer of 1872. Upon coming to this county Joseph H. Kuhl purchased a farm of eighty acres in Westphalia township, and by thrift and economy increased his land holdings to two hundred and forty acres. He was the first postmaster at Westphalia and later became the first postmaster at Earling. He served as county supervisor for two terms and as county treasurer for three terms. For a number of years he was the agent for the Milwaukee Land Company and had charge of all of their land sales from Council Bluffs to Manning, Iowa. He was probably the most prominent man in the county during the early days of its history and never failed to give his best efforts to the advancement of his adopted county.
