  WICHMANN BROTHERS. One of the prosperous and well-known business enterprises of Appleton, Wisconsin, is the large grocery and seed firm of Wichmann Brothers, the proprietors of which, George E. and Henry M. Wichmann, are substantial business citizens of this place. The business is carried on at No. 720-722 College avenue, in a two-story brick building, with a floor space of 33x90 feet, and a full stock of staple and fancy groceries and seeds of all kinds is handled by six employes. This business was bought by its present proprietors from R. G. Tarrant, in 1891, and has grown steadily since that date, numerous improvements having been made to the building, and various innovations having been introduced. The Wichmann Brothers are natives of Appleton, and sons of Frederick and Mariah (Seelow) Wichmann, natives of Trebses, Germany, who came to Appleton in 1870. Later Mr. Wichmann purchased a farm in Grand Chute township, on which he carried on operations until his retirement. His wife died July 15, 1908, having been the mother of nine children, as follows: Mrs. J. Rohloff, of Appleton; Mrs. G. C. Neuman, of Appleton; Mrs. H. Filz, of this city; Lena, residing at home; William, a mechanic of Appleton, who married Emma Mueller and has three children; Louis J., a furniture dealer and undertaker of Appleton, who has served as supervisor of the Fifth Ward for two terms, married Augusta Holmston and has a family of two children; George E., who married Emma Armge and has one child; Henry N., who married Elma Christof and has two children; and Frederick J., Jr., a resident of Appleton, who married Amelia Retzloff. All of the members of the family are connected with St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Appleton.
