L.W. Tietje is engaged in the cultivation of one hundred and twenty-five acres of the old Tietje homestead and by his practical and representative agriculturists of this vicinity. He was born on the farm, a portion of which he now occupies, on the 8th of June, 1889, and is a son of William and Louisa (Zell) Tietje, of whom further mention is made elsewhere in this work.

L.W. Tietje acquired his education in the parochial and district schools of Sumner township and has never left the homestead. When his father retired in 1911 Mr. Tietje of this review took charge of one hundred and twenty-five acres of the farm and this he has since operated. He has been very successful in the conduct of his interests, following always the most practical and progressive methods and neglecting nothing that would add to the appearance or value of the place.

Mr. Tietje married Miss Martha Reick, a native of Bremer county, and they have become the parents of a daughter, Martha. Mr. Tietje is a member of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran church. Although still a young man, he has already proven his energy, enterprise and integrity, and these qualities will undoubtedly carry him forward into still more important relations with agriccultural interests.
