  JOHN MAURER, a well known public official and business man of Appleton, Wisconsin, who is conducting a first-class general store at the corner of College avenue and State street, was born in the Third Ward, Appleton, at No. 1084 Eighth street, September 11, 1872, a son of Joseph and Anna (Bauer) Maurer, natives of Germany. The parents of Mr. Maurer came to the United States June 4, 1857, locating in Appleton, Mr. Maurer's father securing employment in the Government service for a time and later entering the employ of George Kreiss, who was proprietor of a hub and spoke factory. He continued with Mr. Kreiss for eighteen years, and on May 14, 1909, his death occurred, after he had lived retired for some years. His widow still survives him and makes her home in the old family residence. They had nine children, of whom eight still survive. John Maurer secured his education in the Parochial school, and in 1884 began to work at twenty-five cents per day in the shoe factory. Later he went to work for the Atlas Pulp mill, where he received a salary of from $90 to $120 per month, and during the four years he worked there saved $500. He then went to high school and business college, and in 1892 opened a grocery store with Miles Kavanaugh, then alderman of the Third Ward, but a few months later sold out, and until 1896 clerked for M. Nitschke. His next business venture was with his brother, George, with whom he conducted a grocery store, dry goods establishment and general store until January 23, 1907, when the building and stock were destroyed by fire, at a time when the business was flourishing, thirteen clerks being employed and five horses used in making deliveries, and the firm was at this time dissolved. John Maurer then bought the corner building at College avenue and State street, where he has since conducted a general store. In 1898 he was elected alderman, to which office he was re-elected in 1900. He is now a member of the Fire and Police Commission. He and Mrs. Maurer are members of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, and he is a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Catholic Order of Foresters, St. Joseph's Society, the Equitable Fraternal Union and the Elks. On May 14, 1895, Maurer was married to Margaret Schuh, born in Hartford, Wisconsin, and they have had six children: Leona, Raymond, Lucille, Marcella, Herron and Anita.
