| AUGUST F. DOBAT, who lives in section 36 of Avon
township, is independent in politics, and as he owns a farm he is
independent in other particulars. He was a native of Germany, born
September 27, 1869, a son of Daniel and Mary Dobat, and he remained at
the old home until thirty-five years old, when he purchased a farm of
160 acres, mentioned above. His home has been there ever since, and he
follows stock raising in addition to general farming. His wife, Caroline GRIMM, to whom he was married on February 16, 1905, is a daughter of Fred and Louisa (PRISELL) Grimm. Her father was a native of Germany, but her mother was born in Michigan. The latter died on August 4, 1908, but Mr. Grimm is still living in Troy township of Oakland county. To their union five children were born: Henry, of Oakland county; Annie, deceased; Caroline, wife of August F. Dobat; John, deceased; and Edward, who is at home. Mr. and Mrs. Dobat are the proud parents of two daughters and two sons: Theresa Clara, born January 30, 1906; Emma Louise, born February 6, 1907; Adolph Peter, boron July 29, 1908; and Carl William, born April 11, 1910. Mr. Dobat belongs to the Lutheran Evangelical church. Seeley, Thaddeus D. History of Oakland County, Michigan. Chicago : Lewis, 1912, v.2, p.867. |
