HENRY BREMER, FAMED JOCKEY, DIES TODAY
Well Known Resident of City Passes Away At Home; Competed With Notables of Track
Infirmities attendant upon advancing age this morning claimed the life of
Henry Bremer, 78, former shoe store proprietor and hotel keeper who attained
state-wide recognition later as a trainer and driver of race horses. Death
occurred at the family home at 2118 Michigan avenue.
The sight of Henry Bremer driving horses about the city was a familiar one
years ago to all residents of Manitowoc where Mr. Bremer mad his home for
many years. He was associated with the Donohue stables at Wausau for some
time and drove in competition with such notables of harness racing as Ed
"Pop" Geers, Charlie Martin, Don Findlan, Tom Murphy, Bud Dobbie and others.
An injury to his back forced him to give up some of his activities but he
continued to devote interest and attention to the racing game. He owned
Actor and Tressa Wilkes among other horses.
Had Hotel at Valders
Born in Hanover, Germany on Sept. 1, 1853, Mr. Bremer came to this country
and the town of Manitowoc Rapids when he was nine years of age. He learned
the shoemaking trade at an early age and started his business career at
Wausau where he operated a shoe store. He later returned to Manitowoc county
and operated a hotel in the village of Valders until 1908 when he came to
Manitowoc.
Mr. Bremer was the last surviving member of the old volunteer fire brigade
of this city.
Leaves Widow, Son
Immediate survivors of Mr. Bremer are his wife whom he married 54 years ago
last October, and son, Elmer F. Bremer of Waukesha, and two grandchildren,
Gordon and Marjorie Bremer of Waukesha. Six other children preceded him in
death.

Mrs. Fred Vetter and Mrs. Ole Knutson of Valders also survive.
