  History of Brown County, Wisconsin Page 530
  The success that follows persistent effort, intelligently directed, has come to Anton Yerheyden, who is a partner in the firm of Wing & Verheydem yacht builders and repairers, their plant being located at the foot of Stuart street in Green Bay since 1910. Fie has thoroughly qualified for expert work in this connection and is accorded a patronage that is gratifying. He was born at De Pere, Brown county, Wisconsin, May 8, 1878, and is a son of Louis and Elizabeth Yerheyden. The father came from Holland to America in i860 and was first employed in a foundry. Later he engaged in the ice business in Green Bay, where he made his home until his death on the 6th of September, 1901, when he was sixty-four years of age, his remains being interred in Allouez cemetery. He left a widow and six children, the sons and daughters of the family being : Henry, an engineer on the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad; Mrs. Anna Browning, of Green Bay: Anton; Lena, who is residing with her mother; Alexander, an engineer; and August. Anton Verheyden acquired his education in the schools of Green Bay, which he attended to the age of fifteen years. He then started to provide for his own support and worked for about three years as a chore boy. He next took up the painter*s trade and later became a general builder, in which connection he mastered the trade of boat building. He also learned the machinist's trade with the Green Bay Machine Works, after which he returned to boat building in the employ of Horace J. Conley, with whom he remained until he purchased the business in 1910. Success has attended his efforts in yacht building and repairing and his business is steadily growing, so that Mr. Verheyden has won for himself a creditable and prominent place among the representatives of industrial interests in the county. Mr. Verheyden belongs to the Catholic Order of Foresters, which is indicative of his religious faith, and he is also a member of the Loyal Order of Moose. Ambition has led him into his present position in the business world and if persistency and energy can win success it will be his.
