    Biography:
    ALBERT A. BREITUNG, SR., one of the venerable citizens of Appleton, Wisconsin, where he was for a long period engaged in the blacksmith and wagon making business, is a veteran of, the Civil War, and was born in Prussia, November 11, 1835, a son of August and Amelia (Leonhart) Breitung, the former born in the same country in 1804 and for three year a soldier in the Prussian army. Mr. Breitung's grandfather, Frederick Breitung, was a farmer and hotel keeper. In 1829, August Breitung and Amelia Leonhart were married, a union that resulted in the birth of ten children, and in 1848 they came to America, settling in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where August Breitung died in 1850. Two years later his widow married William Breitung, and her death occurred in 1885. Albert A. Breitung secured his education in the common schools of his native country, and worked on the home farm in Milwaukee county until his mother's second marriage, at which time he started out in life for himself, the next few years being spent in learning the business of manufacturing fanning mills. In 1854 he purchased the interest of his brother's partner, Norman Bucks, in the fanning mill business, the firm having been established in 1853, and after following that occupation in the winters and carpentering in the summers for a few years, the brothers moved down the river, and in 1859 rented a shop and continued in business until 1863. In that year Mr. Breitung enlisted in Company G, First Wisconsin Cavalry, under Captain Charles Robinson, attached to the Army of the Cumberland, and on July 28, 1864, he was captured at the battle of Atlanta while his regiment was making a charge. He was sent first to Andersonville, later to Charleston and eventually to Florence, but after imprisonment of seven months and seventeen days, on the near approach of Sherman's army, he was released and sent to Richmond, and thence down the James river to General Butler's camp, from whence he was sent to Benton Barracks, St. Louis, Missouri. From March until May, 1865, he remained at home sick, and then returned to his regiment, and was finally discharged August 2, 1865, after having participated in a number of desperate struggles, in all of which he displayed the greatest bravery and loyalty to his country. On completing his army service, Mr. Breitung resumed his work as a carpenter, and in 1868 formed a partnership with Christ Heinz and engaged in wagon making and blacksmithing, purchasing his partner's interest in 1872 and continuing the business alone on a large scale until his permanent retirement, since which time he has lived a quiet life at Appleton. In April, 1856, Mr. Breitung was married to Miss Jane Ketchum, a native of Onondaga county, New York, and they had eleven children, as follows: Edwin E., Henry A., Hattie E., Albertina, Frank, Ralph, Amelia, William and three who died in infancy. In 1879 Mrs. Breitung died and two years later Mr. Breitung was married to Emilie A. Klene, three children being born to this union: Albert A., Rudolph C. and Emilie A. Mr. Breitung is a Democrat in his political views, and he has served in various township offices. He was for a number of years a prominent Odd Fellow, holding positions of honor in that lodge, and was also connected with the Sons of Hermann in an official capacity. He has spent many years in this part of the country, and has taken an active part in the growth and developments of Appleton and Outagamie county.
