AUGUST NEUMANN
HIS NINETIETH BIRTHDATY
At the home of his son-in-law, Henry Mandel, where he resides, Aug.
Neumann celebrated his 90th birthday Sunday assisted by his children and
grandchildren. (photo)
Being still in good health, this venerable citizen still found a lot of
pleasure in having his family around him upon this occasion, sitting
there in his easy chair, where he spend much of his time reflecting on
his well spent life, a life characterized by honest toil and frugality.
He came to this country form Gramzow, Potsdam, Germany where he was born
in 1931. It seems to him but a short time ago (for the years roll
swiftly away) since with his wife and three sons, he landed in New York
harbor and on the 4th of July in 1868, after a journey of nine weeks on
the ocean. The first great spectacle that greeted them was a gorgeous
display of fireworks in New York which was celebrating the nation's
birthday. A week later they stepped off the Goodrich steamer at the Two
Rivers pier and among friends waiting them. Work was plenty. He obtained
employment at the pail factory and then he realized his ambition of
owning a farm by purchasing a tract of land near the city. His wife, to
whom he was married in 1860 passed away in 1879 leaving him with one
daughter, Emily, deceased wife of Mr. Mandel with whom Mr. Neumann
resides and five sons, August of Elkhorn, Wis., Frederick,
William and Henry of Sheboygan and Ernst of Manitowoc. The Reporter
extends congratulations to this venerable patriarch who has always been
a sober and industrious citizen, upon his well merited and happy old age.
