- HUGO WEIFENBACH, secretary of the Kaukauna Building and Loan Association and cashier of the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Kaukauna, Wisconsin, is one of the best known figures in Outagamie county's financial circles, and his rise in the business world has been phenomenally rapid. He was born March 5, 1875, in Washington county, Wisconsin, and is a son of B. and Barbara Weifenbach, natives of Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, and a grandson of Casper Weifenbach, who founded the family in America in 1846. In September, 1884, Mr. Weifenbach's mother brought her children to Kaukauna, and here Hugo was given a public and high school education. His first employment was as a printer in the Kaukauna Sun office, next as a bookkeeper in a machine shop, and he then held a like position with the First National Bank, where he remained five years. At the end of this time he became connected with the Bank of Kaukauna, where he remained five years and held the positions of bookkeeper and teller, and left there to accept the position of secretary of the Kaukauna Building and Loan Association. This association, organized in 1887, by N. H. Brokaw and H. S. Cooke, was composed of a number of the leading business citizens of Kaukauna, and it has grown steadily since its incorporation, and is recognized as one of the strongest institutions of its kind, its present authorized capital being $500,000. Its officers are G. W. Fargo, Jr., president; C. E. Raught, vice-president; H. Weifenbach. secretary; H. S. Cooke, treasurer; G. B. Husting, attorney; and a directing board composed of the following: P. Garney, J. B. Delbridge, H. S. Cooke, J. W. Claspill, F. Kowalke, E. T. O'Brien, C. E. Raught, G. W. Fargo, Jr., and A. P. Bayorgeon. Since Mr. Weifenbach has been acting in the capacity of secretary, the business of this company has been tripled. Mr. Weifenbach is engaged in the real estate and insurance business, and is secretary of the Kaukauna Advancement Club, and president of the Loan and Building Association League of Wisconsin. He is a Master Mason, has been secretary of the Elks and held similar offices in other organizations. He did most of the work of organizing for the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Kaukauna, which was incorporated May 18, 1911, with a capital stock of $30,000, John Schmidt being president, he is a farmer near Dundas, Wisconsin; Daniel J. Crowe, a retired citizen of Kaukauna, vice-president; and Mr. Weifenbach, cashier. There are eighty stockholders, all local people, and the bank is located in the Mill Building formerly occupied by the First National Bank. It was opened in July, 1911. On June 28, 1899, Mr. Weifenbach was married to Edna L. Freeman, of Kaukauna, and they have two daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Weifenbach are members of the Congregational Church.
