From the 1884 edition of the History of Kossuth, Hancock & Winnebago Counties at page 435:

John Kargleder, a native of Bavaria, was born March 26, 1826. He was a brewer by trade. In 1862 he came to America, locating in Milwaukee, Wis., where he remained ten years. He then went to Minneapolis, Minn., where he lived two years, then moved to St. Paul, where he resided four years. He then came to Kossuth Co., Iowa, and purchased 320 acres of land in Algona township. He now has a farm of 480 acres, 225 of which are under cultivation. Mr. Kargleder was married, in 1868, to Selma Haas. They have five children -- Charles, May, Ella, Arthur and Emma.

(Note from contributor: His children's names were actually Charles, Mary, Ella, John Arthur, Jr. and Meta.)
