From History of the St. Croix Valley, Volume 2, published 1909
F. W. Haverlandt resides on section 21, Trim Belle Township. He was born in Saxony, German, September 10, 1840, emigrated to the United States and landed at Baltimore Md., November, 1865. He was educated in Germany and learned the miller's trade. From Baltimore he moved to Louisville, Ky., worked in a flour mill the first winter, and then he went to St. Louis, Mo., where he was engaged at his trade for several years. He then moved to St. Paul, Minn.; from here he went to Rice county, Minnesota and took a position as miller. At Dundas, Minn., he ran a mill for Archibald Bros., and then moved to Faribault, Minn., working at his trade until the spring of 1869, when he returned to Germany and married. Returning to Faribault, he took up his old situation. In September 1870, he bought a mill at Martell, Pierce county, Wisconsin, which he operated about five years, until March 10, 1875, when the mill was destroyed by fire. He then purchased the Huot mill at Trim Belle, and in May 1875, moved his family there. Since then he has made his home at Trim Belle. After he had run the mill for a number of years he sold it to Mr. F. Route, who operated it and later sold it to MCLaughlin Bros., who are the present owners. Mr. Haverlandt has erected a large and comfortable dwelling and an extensive basement barn and other buildings on his model farm. He owned at one time about 400 acres of good farm land, all in the township of Trim Belle, and put a large part of it under cultivation, it being nearly all wild land at the time he purchased it. He was one of the first directors of the Trim Belle Farmers' creamery and a heavy stockholder. He has always been a liberal donator to the different churches, but is not a member of any church. In his politics he is a republican and was justice of the peace for a number of years. He has been a member of the I.O. O. F. since 1870. He married June 18, 1869, Alvina Menzendorff, who was born and educated in Germany. They have had twelve children, of whom eight are living, to wit: William, born March 25, 1870; Minnie, born January 16, 1872, married Charles Tousau, of River Falls township, and has three children Alvina, Nona, and Esther; Charles, born January 15, 1875, married LOU BETZEL, and three children have been born to them Kate, William, and Blanche, all of whom are at home and reside on a farm at Flat Head county, Montana; Otto, born December 7, 1876, resides on a farm in River Falls township with his wife, who was Lydia Brotherson before her marriage; Louis, born October 4, 1878, and died March 30, 1892; Emma, born April 30, 1880; Gertrude, born June 29, 1881; Caesar, born December 5, 1882; Benny, born August 1, 1890. The other children died in infancy. Mr. Haverlandt is a self-made man and what he has accumulated has been by his own honest efforts and perseverance.
