Germany, June 21, 1820; fifth child of a family of eleven, 
born to Carl and Mary (Link) Duchardt, both natives of 
Germany, where also both died; Carl Duchardt was a butcher 
by trade. Christian received his education in the common 
schools of Germany, and at the age of seventeen emigrated 
to America, landing in New York City in 1838. In that same 
year he came to this county, where he followed the 
butchering business about twenty years, and in 1858 bought 
eighty acres of land, and has since devoted his attention 
to farming, and is now the owner of 560 acres of improved 
land, all of which has been acquired by his own labors. He 
was married in this county in 1852, to Mary A. Nollsch, a 
native of Germany; born in February, 1820, who has borne 
him two children: Lizzie, wife of Mr. William Neeham, and
