PAUL W. HACKBARTH.

    Paul W. Hackbarth, well-known and progressive young merchant, of New Ulm,
this county, who is the proprietor of a modern and well-stocked shoe store in
the Buenger block in that city, is a native of Germany, having been born in
Pommern, June 25, 1876, son of August and Ida (Robein) Hackbarth, natives of
that same district of Germany, who later became residents of New Ulm, where the
former still lives.

    August Hackbarth was reared in his native land and became a carpenter. He
married there Ida Robein and continued to make his home there until 1881, in
which year he and his family came to the United States and settled in New Ulm,
where Mr. Hackbarth became a well-known carpenter and builder, many buildings in
that city still testify .ng to the substantial character of his work. For some
years past he has been living practically retired from the active labors of
life. His wife died in 1906, at the age of sixty-two. August Hackbarth and wife
were members of the Lutheran church and their children were reared in that
faith. There are seven of these children, as follow: Emily, who is the wife of
Albert Barbrecht, of New Ulm; Frank, of Nicollet, this state; Emma, wife of John
Pelzl, of Sleepy Eye, this county; Paulina, wife of Edward Wilbrecht, of New
Ulm; Paul W., the subject of this biographical sketch; William, of Nortonville,
this state, and Frieda, of New Ulm.

    Paul W. Hackbarth was about five years old when his parents located in New
Ulm and he grew up in that city, attending both the public and parochial
schools. He then began clerking for Willibald Eibner, baker and confectioner,
and was thus engaged for six years, at the end of which time he became
interested in his father's trade and for three years worked as a carpenter. He
then began to work in the furniture and undertaking establishment of L. J.
Buenger and was thus engaged until 1904, in which year he bought the Frank Dietz
shoe store, moved the stock of the same into a fine room in the Buenger block
and has there ever since been engaged in the shoe trade, in which he has been
quite successful. He has a handsomely appointed and well-equipped store and is
rated as one of the most enterprising merchants in the city, possessing the
entire confidence and respect of commercial circles generally throughout this
section of the state.

     On October 8, 1902, Paul W. Hackbarth was united in marriage to Matilda
Buenger, who was born in New Ulm, daughter of Louis and Henrietta (Ipps)
Buenger, a further history of which interesting family in this county is set out
in a biographical sketch relating to Emil Buenger, presented elsewhere in this
volume. Mr. and Mrs. Hackbarth are members of the Lutheran church and take an
active part in the various social and cultural activities of their home town,
being held in high regard by their many friends hereabout. Mr. Hackbarth is a
Republican and has ever given a good citizen's attention to local political
affairs, but has never been an aspirant for public office.
