History of Dodge County, Wisconsin. Chicago: Western Historical, 1880, p 653

August SCHELLPFEFFER, farmer, Sections 12 and 13, P. O. Mayville [on a map of 
Dodge County in the 1878 Atlas of Wisconsin, Mayville is in Williamstown 
Township], was born 08 July 1826 in Prussia, where he spent his early life 
and was educated. He was in the Prussian Army three and a half years.

He came to America and to Dodge County [Wisconsin] in 1852, and began here as 
a farm laborer. In 1854 he bought 40 acres, and now [text published 1880] 
has 240 acres of well-improved land, and has a one-third interest in the 
Mayville Brewing Company. This may fairly be called a good record for a man 
who began as he did.

On 09 January 1858 he [August SCHELLPFEFFER] married Miss Theresa WOLTER. 
They [August and Theresa (WOLTER) SCHELLPFEFFER] have three children: Henry, 
Bertha, and August. Mr. SCHELLPFEFFER is a Democrat, has been Chairman and 
Assessor, and is now President of the town insurance company. He is a 
Lutheran in religious belief.
