A History of the Northern Peninsula of Michigan and Its People-1911/from bio of son William:
"William E. Kuhnle was born at Manitowoc, Wisconsin, on the 14th of April, 1860 and is a son of John M. and Katherine (Hermann) Kuhnle, both of whom were natives of Wurtemberg, Germany, where the former was born in 1833 and the latter in 1834 The father passed the closing years of his life in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where he died in 1874, and his widow, who is nearly seventy years of age, resides in Manitowoc. Their marriage was solemnized at Manitowoc and they became the parents of three sons and one daughter. . .The father was reared to the age of fourteen years in his native land, when he came to America, making the voyage in a sailing vessel and landing in New York City. From the national metropolis he pro-ceeded by boat up the Hudson river to Albany, thence by canal to Buffalo, in which city he embarked on a lake vessel and came to Manito-
woc, Wisconsin, where he landed in the fall of 1847. No wharf had been con-structed at that place and the passengers of the vessel were transported to the shore by lighters. The emigrant boy soon found employment in a saw mill and later was employed as maltster in a brewery, having learned the trades of malt-ster and cooper in his native land. His intrinsic loyalty to the land of his adoption was shown at the time of the Civil war, for he promptly tendered his services in defense of the Union. He enlisted in Company D, Forty-Eighth Wiscon-sin Volunteer Infantry, in which he was made corporal of his company. His ser-vice, covering a period of about eighteen months, was principally in the west, his regiment having assisted in putting down Indian insurrections and having served principally in Kansas, Dakota, Minnesota and Nebraska. For some time the command was stationed at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. In politics John M. Kuhnle gave a staunch support to the cause of the Republican party, and in a fraternal way he was identified with the sons of Hermann."
