HUCK one of the solid, substantial German agriculturists of Sherman county, residing two and one-half miles northeast of Wasco, was born in Hamburg, Germany, December 24, 1847. His parents, John and Maria (Brunkhorst) Huck, were German born. The father died in 1861; the mother in 1856. For many years John Huck was engaged in market gardening on the outskirts of Hamburg on his own land, about ten acres which had descended from his father and several generations. Our subject came to the United States in 1872 and remained nine months in Iowa. Thence he went to California where he purchased land in Solano county, near Dixon. In 1884 he disposed of this place to advantage and removed to Sherman county. Here he purchased four hundred acres and also filed on a homestead adjoining. Later he purchased more land and he now owns eight hundred acres nearly all of which is tillable. Our subject was married June 10, 1877, at Dixon, California, to Louisa Hanke, born near Dixon. Her parents, Herman and Sophy Hanke, came to Dixon in 1857. They had been married in St. Louis, Missouri. Our subject has one brother and one sister, John, a bookkeeper in San Francisco, and Berl the wife of Richard Peterson, of Hamburg, Germany. Another sister, Ida, is deceased. Mrs. Huck has four brothers and three sisters ; Henry, of Sanger, California , William, the same ; Louis, of Dixon; and Charles, of Sanger, all farmers; Carrie, wife of Victor Thompson; Annie, wife of Woodford Ward; Minnie, wife of Harry Galagher, all farmers near Sanger, California. Mr. and Mrs. Huck have seven children; Herman, a farmer near Wasco; Charles, aged nineteen, at home ; William McK., aged seven, at home ; Mary, wife of Isaac Ross, a lumberman of Kelso, Washington ; Annie, aged seventeen ; Bertha, aged fifteen ; Hazel, aged ten, all at home. Politically, our subject is a Republican, not active, but stanch enough to name one of his sons William McKinley. Both himself and wife are members of the Lutheran church. Our subject's parents were well-to-do people in Germany. There he received an excellent public school education. He served three years in the German army and passed through the Franco-Prussian War. Mr. Huck was apprenticed to learn farming and served two years. He paid his board the first year and the second received his board for his work. He was then fitted to assume charge of large farms and was foreman of an extensive plantation with from fifty to one hundred men under him, for two and one-half years. He then entered the army. At the expiration of his term of service he came to the United States. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios. Project in March 2007 by Diana Smith.
