- CHALRES H. KAI, of No. 730 Cleveland avenue, Beloit, Wis.,
whose birthplace was Berlin,
- Germany, was born July 21, 1867. His parents were Charles
and Sophia (BURT) KAI, both natives of Germany, and came to the
United States and settled in Beloit, Wis., in 1871, and engaged
in the broom corn raising and later operated a threshing machine,
which he made a successful business of, and retired two years
ago for a well earned rest.
- The subject of this sketch received his education in the
schools of Beloit and after completing his
- studies, he engaged in the business of painting, paper hanging
and decorating. He also owns and operates a complete threshing
outfit, which, altogether, makes his life a busy one.
- Mr. KAI is a member of the Odd Fellows, and in 1895 was married
to Miss Elly MADRU, of
- Newark township, Rock county, Wisconsin, and her parents
were among the early settlers of the county.
