He was born June 16, 1886, in Malcom Township, the son of Charles and Frances Schultz Eisele. He was one of five children. He attended the rural schools near his farm home and on October 2, 1907, he was united in marriage with Ida Dorothy Freese. To this union were born five children, all of whom survive: Earl W.
