| Notes | Francis A. Hoffman (1822-1903), was born in Herford, Kreis Minden, Westphalia, and fled the Prussian draft in 1840. He settled in Illinois where he was a teacher and Lutheran minister. In 1851 he moved to Chicago and became an attorney and banker on behalf of German immigrants. He was instrumental in leading German-American voters away from the Democrats and helping to found the Illinois Republican Party in 1854, over the issue of slavery. Elected Lt. Governor in 1860, he largely ran the state in the governor's absence through the Civil War, opposing the Copperhead movement that sympathized with the South. In 1875 he retired to a farm outside Jefferson, in the Wisconsin county of the same name, and devoted his time to writing articles on farming and horticulture for the German language press under the name Hans Buschbauer. |
