ADOLPH BRAXMEIER
Following a three weeks illness, Adolph J. Braxmeier, 67 (photo), former
alderman and pioneer business man of the city, died Monday evening at the
Wisconsin General hospital in Madison. He submitted to an operation two
weeks ago.
Mr. Braxmeier was moved to Madison from his home, 2116 Washington street,
early in January.
He was active for many years in fraternal circles of Manitowoc and in 1934
was chosen to the highest office in Wisconsin Odd fellowship.
Funeral plans are indefinite but will be announced Wednesday. Mrs. Braxmeier
is accompanying the body of her husband here from Madison today.
Mr. Braxmeier was born in this city in 1875 and after finishing school,
learned the machinist's trade at the Richards Iron Works. In 1896 he
married Miss Ella Albrecht of this city.
He remained at the Richards Iron Works for 18 years and then formed a
partnership with Schiller Rhode in the Central Iron Works, which was
located at Ninth and Franklin streets. When Mr. Rhode retired from the
firm Mr. Braxmeier continued the business and later established a machine
shop on South Water street.
In 1931 he discontinued this business and since then has been one of the
tenders on Eighth street bridge.
He served a two year term in the City Council as an alderman from the Fifth
ward from 1905 to 1907.
Mr. Braxmeier was active in the Odd Fellow lodge during most of his lifetime.
He served through all the chairs of the Manitowoc lodge and eight years ago
was elected Grand Patriarch of the Wisconsin Odd Fellows. He was general
chairman of the 1942 state convention of the order held in Manitowoc.
He served several years as trustee of the state order and was grand chaplain
of the Patriarch Militant, the highest ranking organization of Odd Fellowship.
He was also a member of the Knights of Pythias.
He is survived by his widow; two sons, Eddie of this city and Fredric of
Menasha; daughter, Lilah, of Green Bay; brother, Arthur, of this city; sister,
Hermina, of this city; and three grandchildren (Survivors omitted for privacy.)
