- FRANK FRIES, president, manager and stockholder of the Appleton Brewing & Malting Company, and president of the Outagamie County Bank of Appleton, the latter having been recently organized with a capitalization of $50,000, was born in this city in 1856, a son of Michael and Barbara (Kitter) Fries, natives of Germany. The father was born in Luxemburg, of the old country, and in 1852, accompanied by his wife, came to America and Wisconsin, where he continued agricultural pursuits until 1869. That year he bought an interest in a brewery at Appleton, later known as the Star Brewery, with which he was connected until his death in 1876. His widow survived him ten or eleven years. They had a family of three children, as follows: Susan, who married Jacob Kohl; Elizabeth, who married John Kohl; and Frank. Frank Fries received his education in the common schools of his native city, and his early experience in the brewing industry was secured with his father. He was at one time part owner of the Walter Brewery, of Neenah and Menasha, which took the name of Walter Brothers & Fries, and of which he was manager, but disposed of his interests, and from 1891 to 1899 was connected with the Appleton Marble & Granite Works. In December of the latter year he organized the Appleton Brewing & Malting Company, the present officers of the firm being: Frank Fries, president and manager; John Haug, vice-president and brew master; and Nick Dohr, secretary and treasurer. The brewery has an output of 19,000 barrels per year, specializing in "Mellow Brau" and "Prime" beer, and the firm does all of its own bottling, makes its own malt and uses home barley exclusively. The plant employs about twenty men and the product is sold by wagon throughout Appleton and in the country within a radius of twenty miles. Mr. Fries is a Democrat in politics, and is fraternally connected with the Eagles. His religious connection is with St. Joseph's Catholic Church. In 1882 he married Miss Emma Miller, a native of this county, who died in 1883, leaving one daughter, now married and residing in Appleton. Mr. Fries' second marriage was to Johanna Nicholay, of New Holstein, Wisconsin, and the following are the names of the children now living born to this union: John M. and William J., associated with their father in business; Frank and Edward, attending school; Matilda S., who married Frank Kasel, February 22, 1911; Lucia, who married Paul Abendroth in July, 1911; and Alwina, living at home. Mr. Fries is one of the solid, substantial business men of Appleton and a credit to the city he calls his home.
