Biography:
Albert Weissenborn was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1863, a son of Henry and Maria Theresa Weissenborn. Albert's father was educated in engineering by his father, a German blast furnace inventor. Henry came to the United States in 1848 at the age of 24, already experienced in the building of blast furnaces and flour mills. He built a blast furnace for the Bethlehem Iron Works. Henry and his engineer brothers Gustavus and Edward were employed by Mr. John Ericsson during the construction of the Civil War battleship "Monitor".

Albert Weissenborn began his career in wire drawing as an apprentice at age 16. He began his inventive work on power looms during the 1880's while at Cheney Bigelow Wire Works in Springfield, Massachusetts where he met his wife Eleanor. His early inventions for power looms are documented in 1890 mechanical drawings signed by Albert and verified by witnesses. In 1896 Albert joined his brother-in-law William Buchanan; his close friend and nephew, Gus Buchanan; and John Buchanan in founding the Appleton Wire Works. He initially served as superintendent. Albert's wife Eleanor, whose father had been a master wire weaver and loom constructor in London, contributed her skill as a wire seamer in the early days of the company.

Among numerous inventions, his major one was the electro-pneumatic loom in which the loom was powered by compressed air and electricity. Prior to this invention, wire-weaving always demanded both technical skill and physical strength. This invention not only reduced the number of men needed to operate a loom, it also allowed less physically taxed workers to focus on quality and improved uniformity. Patents were granted in the US, France, and Germany. The wires produced by this invention yielded higher quality paper on the paper machines and the growth of Appleton Wire Works accelerated due to this development. The focus on quality was exemplified by the adoption of the company motto "Appleton wires are good wires" in 1907, just one year after his first patents were granted. He continued to refine loom design and was granted another patent in 1910. By this time, Appleton Wire Works had grown to be the second largest wire weaving plant in the country and the largest in the West. In 1912, Appleton Wire Works was restructured and a new 50-50 partnership was formed between Albert and his nephew Gus. Albert was president and manager and Gus Buchanan was secretary and treasurer. Albert continued designing, supervising and directing every detail of the manufacturing including the machine shop where equipment and parts were designed and built for the plant.

Albert Weissenborn was a prolific inventor whose contributions included loom design, wire drawing, annealing equipment, bobbin winding, pirn welding equipment and shuttle design. He was instrumental in the development of the technology of producing Fourdrinier wires. His improvements enabled the production of wider and longer lasting wires, leading to improved productivity in the paper industry. The power loom reduced the number of weavers per loom from two to one. However, at Appleton Wire Works, increased business provided work for the weavers. As an example, there were no layoffs during the Great Depression.

Albert Weissenborn served as President and Manager of Appleton Wire Works from 1912 until his death in 1938. During his tenure, the company became a leader not only in the Fox Valley, but across the United States.

He and his wife, Eleanor Gray, had one child, Annette, who married Roy Purdy. Their son, Albert's grandson, Bruce Purdy, carried on the family tradition of engineering innovation and invention. Bruce Purdy was inducted into the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame in 2005.

APPLETON POST-CRESCENT Monday, June 15,1964
James P. Buchanan The whole community of the Fox River Valley will feel the loss through an early death of James Buchanan, for a number of years a resident of the Green Bay area and for the last ten years of the Fox Cities. Mr. Buchanan's community contributions were extensive. He well deserved the 1952 Distinguished Service award of the Junior Chamber of Commerce in Green Bay but since that time his interests and work on behalf of a variety of community projects expanded. Despite heavy business responsibility and a growing young family he was a leader in c h u r c h affairs, service clubs, hospital and medical projects, music and educational organizations and Scout groups. Mr. Buchanan combined his leadership ability with a deep sense of personal responsibility and a quiet and reasoned approach to the myriad problems he faced. His talents in this part of Wisconsin will be greatly missed.

James married Harkins, Marjorie 27 May 1943. Marjorie was born 26 Sep 1920; died 17 Feb 2004, Superior, Douglas, Wisconsin, USA. [Group Sheet]

Biography:
Bruce Purdy was born November 2, 1917, in Appleton, Wisconsin. He attended Appleton public schools and Northwestern Military Academy. He graduated in 1940 from the University of Michigan with a degree in mechanical/industrial engineering. He enrolled for several years in the Harvard Business School before leaving to join Douglas Aircraft to help with the World War II effort.

In 1944 Mr. Purdy joined Appleton Wire Works. He retired in 1973, but remained active in the company as a director of Albany International Corporation (the result of a merger of Appleton Wire Works with Albany Felt Company) until 1990.

In 1954, Mr. Purdy transformed the wire weaving technology of the early 1900s for papermachine clothing with the revolutionary development of an automated wire looming operation. Prior to the development of the automated loom, it took four years of training as an apprentice to become a weaver. On the first official day running the automated loom at Appleton Wire Works, May Tournow, the forelady of the winding department, successfully ran the largest loom in the plant, with the most expensive wire and with no problem in that first run. She had never run a loom before.

Purdy was instrumental in creating significant other paper machine clothing manufacturing and performance improvements.

He and his wife, Barbara, have five children, ten grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Induction:
His Grandfather Albert Weissenborn founded Appleton Wire works and was also inducted to th ePaper Hall of Fame in 2009.

Obituary:
Purdy, Bruce Barton Industrialist Engineer
Bruce Barton Purdy died peacefully on February 27th, 2009, at his home in Tiburon, California, at the age of 91. His sharp awareness, concern for others and wonderful sense of humor remained even in his final days.
Born in Appleton, Wisconsin, Bruce's life was based on a commitment of service to his community, his work, his family and to God.
His amazing personal drive was evident at an early age and continued to be the hallmark of his life. As a Boy Scout he set a Valley record by earning 54 merit badges and becoming an Eagle Scout in the shortest time possible. He was awarded the maximum number of Eagle Palms.
He attended Northwestern Military Academy and was offered an appointment to West Point upon graduation. He attended Lawrence College where he belonged to Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He transferred to the University of Michigan where he earned a B.S. in Mechanical Industrial Engineering. He did post graduate work at Harvard Business School.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, he was offered a teaching position in Harvard's engineering department, but chose to support his country by reporting for military duty. To his dismay he was classified as "4F" because of a history of multiple broken bones (including his neck) due to accidents as a gymnast and an equestrian. Determined to help the war effort, he worked in Southern California for Douglas Aircraft Engineering in Research and Development and in the Tooling Division as a production efficiency expert and mechanical engineer. His work included the A-26 Invader, the A-24 / SBD Dauntless, the DC 3, the C-47 Skytrain, the C-53 Skytrooper, the DB-7 Boston Bomber and the DB-7A Havoc Mk II Night Fighter.
While at Douglas Aircraft he met and married Barbara Gastil, a graduate of Stanford University.
During the Battle of the Bulge, he returned to Appleton Wire Works to produce the urgently needed 37mm fuse caps for artillery shells. Within three weeks time they were at a level of production equal to that of a pre-existing factory in Milwaukee.
His engineer grandfather Albert Weissenborn died, so after World War II, with a deep sense of obligation, he returned to work at Appleton Wire Works, a company owned by the Purdy/Weissenborn and Buchanan families in a 50/50 partnership. He was the only family member who was a qualified engineer, so he took on the challenge of furthering his grandfather's wire weaving technology.
Bruce made improvements to all aspects of the labor-intensive operations of the mechanical loom. These improvements benefited the workforce as well as the paper industry. After several years of secret effort, his innovations went beyond mechanical improvements, with the revolutionary development of the first automated Fourdrinier loom in the United States. Bruce believed in, and inspired his team to work together to create the cutting edge technology that ultimately helped advance the company to the largest and most successful manufacturer of paper forming fabrics in the world.
He designed and constructed the largest wire finishing table ever built, and the first fully automated wire loom.
When plastics began to replace metal wire cloth, he designed the first heat setting table, which gave plastic cloth added flexibility and durability. He also developed a system for joining polyester fabric.
As a registered professional engineer in Alabama and Wisconsin, he was awarded numerous patents, including over 100 claims, however many of his innovations where kept secret from competitors and therefore were never submitted for patents. During his time at Appleton Wire Works, he served as the director of engineering, vice president, and board member.
After the Appleton Wire Works merged with the Albany Felt Company in 1969, he remained active in the company serving on the board of directors until his retirement in 1990.
In 2005 he was inducted into the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame in recognition of his contributions to the industry.
Over the years, he and his wife have made numerous philanthropic contributions to various organizations within the Appleton community and beyond and have jointly contributed with the Buchanan's as equal owners of Appleton Wire Works and the Outagamie Corporation.
He was involved in more business endeavors than space allows. Some key positions he held were as a director, vice president and president of the International Wire Works; a director and vice president of the Tuttle Press Company; a director, secretary, vice president and president of Outagamie Corporation, a holding company; a director of the First National Bank of Appleton, the Appleton Building and Loan, and the W. S. Patterson Company.
His love of aviation led him to be the Vice Chairman of the Citizens' Aviation Advisory Committee, a contributing member of the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association). As a director of the Chamber of Commerce he campaigned for a new Appleton airport. He was one of the original founders of the regional airline, Air Wisconsin, its first Vice President, and served thereafter as a board member until its merger with United Airlines in 1989.
Bruce generously gave back to the community in which he lived. Not all of his activities are mentioned, however, one of his contributions was the uniting of individual service groups under the umbrella of United Community Services for which he served as its first president.
In recognition of his community service, he was awarded the Junior Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Service Award. Some of his other service activities included president and a director of St. Elizabeth Hospital, and of the Appleton Rotary Club. He was a 32nd Degree Mason.
He was a director of Riverview Country Club and North Shore Golf Club.
Service to his church was heartfelt and an expression of his deep faith. He served as Secretary, Vestryman, building fund drive Chairman, finance committee Chairman, Junior Warden, Trustee and Senior Warden of All Saints Episcopal Church in Appleton. In 1982 he and his wife moved to Incline Village, on the shores of Lake Tahoe, Nevada. There he became involved with Saint Patrick's Episcopal Church. As senior warden, he was instrumental in finding a new building site and in spearheading the construction of a larger church which now better serves the needs of that community.
He loved animals, nature and enjoyed the outdoors. He was committed to being a good steward of the earth. In 1957 he began acquiring land which he combined to form Apple Hill Farms. He raised prize-winning Charolais cattle and refused to treat the cattle with unnecessary chemicals long before 'organic' became a household word. Guided by the most current conservation principles of the time, he protected forested areas, dug ponds, sowed wild seeds and maintained wildlife sanctuaries. With his sons, he personally planted thousands of seedling trees.
Annually for over 30 years, he welcomed school children for the Outagamie County Conservation Field Days. Children would spend the day learning from teachers and conservationists about nature and the conservation methods employed on Apple Hill Farms. Apple Hill Farms is now a beautiful residential development of over 1,200 acres which incorporates the ponds and wild life sanctuaries which he nurtured.
Bruce has been a longtime supporter of the YMCA. In his early thirties the YMCA dubbed him "Mr. Appleton" "...the most community minded individual in Appleton." As president and building fund drive chairman of the Appleton YMCA, he advocated the relocation of the old building to its current location on Lawrence Street and served as a director for 28 years.
His most recent philanthropic effort involved the Apple Creek YMCA. He donated a 13-acre commercial building site for this new Fox Cities YMCA nature and wellness center. He contributed 3.7 million dollars toward construction costs for the 26,000 square foot facility. In addition, as an expression of his desire to encourage environmentally responsible education for the younger generation, Bruce donated the adjacent 104 acres for the Bruce B. Purdy Nature Preserve.
He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Barbara Gastil Purdy, their five children, ten grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held in his honor at All Saints Episcopal Church in Appleton, Wisconsin, on April 18th, 2009 at 11 a.m. with Canon William Johnston officiating.
In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy can be made through donations to the Apple Creek YMCA and Bruce B. Purdy Nature Preserve. Donations can be sent to: YMCA of the Fox Cities, c\\o Bruce Purdy Memorial, 218 E. Lawrence Street, Appleton, WI 54911

Obituary:
Buchanan, Philip Edward 42 2/22/1967 3/2/2009 Philip Edward Buchanan died on Monday, March 2, 2009, in Portland. He was born in Hanover, N.H., on George Washington's birthday, Feb. 22, 1967. He attended Edison School in Appleton, Gerritts Junior High in Kim-berly, and Wayland Academy in Beaver Dam, Wis. He was a 1990 graduate of The Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colo., where he met his life partner, his dearest Wendy Thomas. Following college, he secured a single engine commercial pilot's license for both land and sea at Hillsboro Helicopters in Oregon. His passion was float planes, and he spent many hours flying around both the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. After moving to Wisconsin, he was employed by Fox River Paper Company in Appleton in the human resources department, and was transferred to Housatonic, Mass., where its Rising Paper division was located. Once there, Phil decided to pursue his dream of building custom furniture, and apprenticed himself to Peter Thorne of West Stockbridge, Mass. Later, he set up his own shop in Housatonic, where he built beautiful pieces of furniture. Phil also served on the town library committee and was instrumental in establishing a regional guild for fellow furniture makers. Phil and Wendy were married in Portland, her home town, in August 1993. When in Housatonic, they built their dream home on a granite hillside. Their daughter Zoey was born in 2003, and the family raised bees, blueberries, Newfoundlands and a cat. In his senior year in high school, 1985, Phil was diagnosed with a head tumor. For 24 years, Phil met the challenges of managing this cancer through surgeries, radiation therapies, and medications. He and Wendy traveled, skied, canoed, swam, camped, drove Phil's 1976 Landcruiser, listened to music, and laughed together. In 2006, Phil became blind; he and Wendy determined to sell their home and his business and move to Portland. Phil enrolled at the Commission for the Blind where he began to learn braille, to acquire mobility skills, and to establish a workshop in his new home. Unfortunately, in 2008, the pressures of the tumor in his head took their toll, and Phil's health declined. In the last two months, Phil was bedridden in his home, where he enjoyed the company and appreciated the support of his friends and family. His father-in-law Chris and his friend Paul Ecker were especially faithful companions. Paul was an extraordinary friend. Phil was a person of simple values, of trust and hopefulness. He worked hard and laughed a lot - his sense of humor was wicked and wry and funny. He met people honestly; he was faithful. Phil met the challenges in his life with grace, and surmounted them with honor. Survivors include his wife, Wendy; their daughter, Zoey; his parents-in-law, Chris and Sarah Thomas of Portland; and a sister-in-law, Jennifer Thomas and her life partner, Ruth Zolock of Washington D.C. He is also survived by his parents, Robert and Bonnie Buchanan of Appleton, Wis; his brother, Gus and wife, Kara, and their daughters, Gwyneth and Iris of Burlington, Vt.; and his sister, Emily Buchanan Lehto and her children, Sydney and Robert of Appleton, Wis. He is also survived by many wonderful aunts, uncles, and cousins of the Glidden, Parker, Scanlon, Buchanan and Vitalis clans. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, William E. and Josephine B. Buchanan, and John "Jack" M. and Iris O. Glidden. Phil is also mourned by many friends he loved and with whom he maintained deep relationships until his death. Remembrance services and a celebration of Phil's life will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, March 28, 2009, at Cheatham Hall at the World Forestry Center, 4033 SW Canyon Road in Portland and in Appleton, Wis., in August. A memorial fund in Phil's name has been established at Camp Manito-wish YMCA. Contributions may be sent to this address: Box 246, Boulder Jct., WI 54512.
