- The following write-up is available at the above-mentioned URL, and is provided below in its entirety:
- "Peter Haehn, a pioneer, was born in Germany, and came to Calvary, Wis., as a youth of nineteen. There he married Anna M. Schneider, also a native of Germany, who was brought to Wisconsin by her parents at the age of five years.
- "In territorial days, Mr. Haehn assisted in surveying portions of Minnesota. Later he brought his wife here, and settled in St. Martin township, on 160 acres in section 36. He was a member of the small colony, which made up the list of the first settlers in the county. He erected a log building and started farming with an ox team.
- "During the Indian troubles they lived in St. Cloud, but soon returned to the farm. As time passed his place assumed the appearance of a well-ordered, well-improved place, with suitable buildings, stock, crops, and equipment. He was a leader in politics, was town clerk thirty-five years and town assessor thirty-six years, and did good service for one term as county commissioner, during which term he assisted in distributing seed to those who had been impoverished by the grasshopper plague.
- "Mr. Haehn died in 1893 at the age of sixty-eight. His widow now makes her home in the village of St. Martin. She has reached the age of seventy-four. In the family there were seventeen children."
