Notes for PETER HUBERT EFFERTZ:
The following biography is from "Compendium of History and Biography of Carver and Hennepin Counties, Minnesota". Edited by Maj. R.J. Holcombe and William H. Bingham. Published in Chicago by Henry Taylor & Company, 1915. Page 283:
Orphaned by the death of both of his parents when he was young, Peter Effertz, proprietor of the Superior Stock Farm at Norwood, has been obliged to make his own way in the world, and his success, which is considerable, has been the result of his own native ability combined with persistent and well applied industry. He was born August 24, 1845, at Darshofen Kreis Bergheim, Koln, Germany, and there obtained a fair education and learned the carpenter trade, working at this craft four years. In the spring of 1864 he and his brother Christ came together to the United States and located in Carver county.
On December 10, 1870, Mr. Effertz was married to Miss Elizabeth Born, whose life began at Kenton, Ohio, August 24, 1853, and who came to this county in 1860 with her parents, Jacob Born and wife, natives of Hutvill, Canton Berne, Switzerland, whence they emigrated to the United States in 1850, and on their arrival in this county they took up their residence at Young America. In the summer of 1872, when the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad opened its station Young America, where is now the village of Norwood, Mr. Effertz and his wife bought the first property sold there and built a dwelling house that fall. The next spring they opened a hotel and saloon in a part of the present Effertz hotel, the small building in which they began operations being still in use as a part of the present hotel, which was built in 1878, and which is now kept by their son, William H. Effertz, the father having retired from the business in 1900.
During the period of his residence in Carver county, Mr. Effertz has followed farming as part of his industry. He erected his present residence in 1900. It is one of the best in the county, located a short distance from the hotel in the village and overlooking his fine stock farm of 220 acres. This land is of excellent quality and the place is known as the Superior Stock Farm. On it are bred Red Polled cattle, keeping a herd of 35 to 40 head.
Mr. Effertz was the principal organizer of the Citizens State Bank of Norwood, which was opened June 20, 1914, with himself as president; his son, Frank J. Effertz, vice president; and his son-in-law, Albert Kehrer, as cashier. However, November 2, 1891, the Bank of Norwood was organized with him as one of its stockholders and directors, a relation to it which he maintained, for a number of years. He has always been a firm and loyal Democrat, and has taken a helpful interest in public affairs. He served the village six years as president and several as a member of the council. He has also been and is a member of the school board almost from its formation.
In the fall of 1906 Mr. Effertz was elected a member of the House of Representatives, being the only Democrat sent to that body from Carver county in the last twenty years. He served on the committee on Banks and Banking and several other important ones, proved himself to be a hard worker in the committee room ever standing for program and improvement. He earnestly advocated general road improvement and many additional lines of betterment. In the election of 1908 he was defeated.
Sixteen children were born in the Effertz household all but two now living. They are. William H., proprietor of the Effertz hotel; Frank J., cashier of the Farmers State Bank at Waconia and vice president of the Citizens State Bank at Norwood; Gottleib G.; Christian, formerly proprietor of the hotel and now agent of the Minneapolis Brewing company; Hermann, who conducts the operations of the farm; Matilda E., wife of Henry Bovy, a merchant at Norwood; Julius S., cashier of the bank at Belle Plaine; Gertrude E., wife of Michael Fallon, of the St. Paul police force; Edward B., civil engineer for the United States government in St. Paul; Margaret, wife of Albert Kehrer, cashier of the Citizens State Bank at Norwood; and Angelia B., Paul R., Fred N. and Cecilia. Loretta And Peter J. died in childhood.
All are Catholics, the family belonging to the Church of the Ascension.
