  Michael Rothmann, one of the respected citizens of this city died at his home on Madison Street, on Wednesday morning, Jan. 21, 1891, after a brief illness. Michael Rothamnn was born December 26th, 1806, at Framerscheim, Germany. In 1832 he came to America, landing at New York. After a brief stay in that city he went to Albany, where he enlisted in the United States regular army. In 1836 his regiment was sent to Chicago, where he remained until the following year, when he was transferred to Green Bay. He was a member of the detachment that was detailed to cut the military road from Milwaukee to Green Bay. In 1837 he was married to Catherine Baumgarten and in 1840 received an honorable discharge from the army and moved to the town of Calumet, Fond du Lac County. He was one of the first German settlers of that locality there being at that time only two of three white families in the town. He was a hardworking industrious man and succeeded in building from the dense forest a fine farm and beautiful home for himself and family. In 1878 he moved to this city and resided here until taken to the great beyond. He was known all through this section as a loving husband and father, an obliging neighbor and a true friend. His funeral will take place on Sunday. The remains will be conveyed to the family burial lot at Calumet for interment. An aged wife, three sons, William of this city and Philip and August, of Dakota and five daughters, Mrs. Wm. Dorschel and Mrs. H. Wippermann, of this city, Mrs. F. Schroeckenstein and Mrs. F. Burg of Calumet and Mrs. C. Menig of St. Paul survive him. The community extends sympathy in this their hour of grief.
