Biography:
GABRIEL ULLMAN, who is a member of the stock firm of J. Ullman and Company, and one of the best-known men in fraternal circles in Appleton, was born in Prussia, Germany, June 24, 1847, a son of Bernard and Dorothy (Strause) Ullman. Mr. Ullman came to Appleton in August, 1866, and for a time clerked in the mercantile establishment of D. Hammel & Company, who later sold out to a Mr. Stiefel, of Butler, Indiana, whose partner Mr. Ullman became in 1869. In 1870 Mr. Ullman bought out Mr. Stiefel's interest, and he continued to operate the business for a period covering fourteen years, when he joined his brothers Joseph and D. L. in the stock and real estate business. The firm of J. Ullman and Company is known all over Wisconsin and the surrounding states as one of the largest horse trading firms in this part of the country, and the members of the firm have the reputation of being among the best judges of horseflesh in the country. Gabriel Ullman arranged for the building of the Sutherland Building, was its first tenant, and lived therein for about ten years. He was married June 18, 1871, to Amelia Strauss, who had been his schoolmate in Europe, a sister of Mrs. Jacob Hammel, and they have had three children: Rose, who married Albert Cohn, of Milwaukee; Belle F., who married Jacob M. Ullman, deceased, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio; and Edward B., a traveling salesman of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mr. Ullman is the only surviving charter member of Rhine Lodge of Odd Fellows, which was to have been named Ryan Lodge in honor of Judge Sam J. Ryan, Past Grand Master, but which on account of the laws of the order prohibiting the naming of a lodge after a living person, was called Rhine Lodge, most of the charter members being natives of the River Rhine. He is also identified with Appleton Encampment, No. 16, of Odd Fellows, Waverly Lodge and Appleton Chapter of Masons, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Knights of Honor and the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith. He was one of the charter members of the German School Society, an organization which is now dissolved, but which at one time flourished here as an association of German schools, and dissolved when the City of Appleton employed teachers to teach German in its public schools. Mr. Ullman is one of Appleton's good citizens, and can always be counted upon to further the interests of his county or city .
