FRANK WULFTUNGE, a native of Hanover, Germany, was born August 26, 1830, and came 
to the United States in 1860, arriving at New Orleans, where he remained about six 
months, when he came to Kentucky, and settled in Covington. In the old country he 
was reared to farming, his father being a man of some wealth; he received a good 
collegiate education, but after graduation was a farmer four or five years, and then 
a stage or coach driver. On arriving in this country he worked a year or two at 
carpentering, and then, in 1867, engaged in distilling rye and bourbon whiskey, 
under the firm name of Dorsel & Wulftunge, but sold out in March 1887. In 1868 
he married Elise Lusse, a native of Oldenburg, Germany. Four children born to this 
marriage are living.
