    Notes 
    • From the "History of Sheboygan County" p. 131

      "Mr. Janke is one of the successful and highly respected farmers of Sherman Township, Sheboygan County. He was born...son of...both natives of Germany.

      Emil was reared in his parents' home and educated in the public schools. He remained under the parental roof until he was twenty-two years of age and during that time was engaged in work on his father's farm. He later started in life for himself and worked at the carpenter's trade for some time and for seven winters was engaged as a lumberman in the pine woods of Wisconsin. In 1887 he purchased his father's farm of 80 acres in Sherman Township, upon which he has since continued to live. His is one of the most highly improved farms in this section of Sheboygan County. The buildings and improvements upon his place are of modern contruction, the barns and stables are commodious and all well suited to the purposes of a dairy, of which his is one of the most complete of its kind in Sheboygan County. At present his dairy stock consists of fifteen high grade cows. In addition to his dairy business and his general farming he also breeds and deals in blooded draft horses.

      Mr Janke's political allegiance is given to the Republican Party, and he is a member of Batavia Lutheran Church. Energetic in his work, conscientious in all matters of business, Mr. Janke is a progressive and valued resident of the county in which he has chosen to make his home."
