Arthur Foeste, a son of Henry Foeste, one of the pioneers of Sheboygan County, was born in the Evergreen City, June 13, 1869. His education was received in the public schools of his native town. Until about three years ago he was variously employed, and since that time he has had charge of his father's business.

Mr. Foeste was married, November 19, 1892, to Miss Ella M. Steuber, the wedding ceremony being performed in the city of Sheboygan. The lady was born in Magdebourg, Saxony, Germany, and when four years of age was left motherless. Her father, Herman Steuber, came to the United States in 1877. Five years later, Mrs. Foeste came alone to this country, locating in the city which is now her home. She is an only child. In religious belief, she is a Lutheran.

Mr. Foeste has always lived in the Chair City, to which place his father came in 1847.
