Bickelhaupt, Peter, was born in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, November 23, 1832, and came to the United States in
1853, settling in Alexandria. In 1858 he married Elizabeth, daughter of John Holler, and they had five sons and
two daughters: George, John, William, Fred, Bert, Emma and Ida. Mr. Bickelhaupt was a self-made man and it is owing
to his efforts that Jefferson county stands where it is to-day. He served as highway commissioner and took an active
interest in school and church matters, and was recognized as a man of sterling integrity whose word was as good
as his bond. Mr. Bickelhaupt died November 22, 1897.
