Goetz, William F. (9 February 1875 - 19??)

William F. Goetz, postmaster of Stratford, Wis., superintendent of the R. Connor Company of this place, is a prominent citizen and is identified with many of the most important interests here. He was born February 9, 1875, at Milwaukee, Wis., where he was educated and from there came to Stratford eighteen years ago.

Mr. Goetz has been very active and continuously public spirited ever since coming to this place, where he was elected the first president of the village after incorporation and served two years. He is an independent voter in local affairs. In 1905 he was appointed postmaster and has served with the greatest satisfaction ever since. His capable assistant is Miss Elsie Kuehlman and they have two rural routes, the first one being covered by Thomas J. Hoesly, and Route No. 2, established in 191 1, which includes twenty-two and one-half miles, is covered by Robert Allen. The office quarters are in the R. Connor Company store, on Third Avenue, and postal savings are accepted here.

Mr. Goetz married Miss Ernestine Grambow, and they have the following children: Fred, Etta, Alma, George, Robert and William, Mr. Goetz is president of the Stratford Telephone Company, a director of the Stratford State Bank, a member of the Marathon county board and belongs to the fraternal order of Beavers.
