MARRIED IN MICHIGAN
On July Fourth, Mr. Oscar Winkelmiller, principal owner and manager of the Two Rivers Knitting Mills and Miss Florence Grover, the handsome and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Grover, were united in marriage at St. Joe, Michigan. The fact somehow leaked out on Sunday, after their return from what they wished to have considered "only a trip to Chicago" and on Sunday evening they were serenaded by a party of their young friends. Of course the happy union was not unanticipated, but no one guessed the time or place. All however, unite in extending congratulations and good wishes.

Outdoor Lover
Mr. Winkelmiller was a man of exemplary habits, and was regarded as the city’s leading follower of outdoor life. He loved hunting and fishing from his early teens and continued such recreation despite his failing in health.
Born in Two Rivers, May 18, 1884, he resided his entire life in this city. He was the son of Mrs. Richard Winkelmiller, his father preceding him in death 17 years ago. When he was a year and one-half old he made his home with his grandparents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Winkelmiller. His grandfather founded the first tannery in the county in Two Rivers in 1854.
Mr. Winkelmiller attended the public school of the city and in 1902 was graduated from high school. Following his graduation he went to Milwaukee where he completed a course in the Spencerian Business College.
In 1903 Mr. Winkelmiller became manager of the Two Rivers Knitting company, which was owned by his father, who purchased the plant nearly 30 years ago. Mr. Winkelmiller continued in the management of the knitting mills until 1912 when the firm discontinued operations. On February 13, 1917 he assumed the position of receiving clerk of the Aluminum Goods company, which position he held up to his demise.
Married in 1907
On July 4, 1907 he was married here to Miss Flora Grover, also a member of a well known Two Rivers family. Eighteen years ago he took up his residence in the old homestead of his grandfather, who had died in 1914, and the family had resided there since.
Besides his widow, he leaves his daughter, Mrs. Ernestine Brehmer, wife of Dr. Carlton Brehmer, Sheboygan dentist. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Richard Winkelmiller Sr., three sisters, Mrs. Earl Lindsay, Mrs. Victor Peterson, this city, and Mrs. Jeanette Brey of Manitowoc, and two brothers, Bruno, of Chicago, and Richard, of this city.
