HERMAN HELD.

    Herman Held, president and manager of the New Ulm Stone Company at New Ulm,
this county, who also is prominently identified with numerous other industrial
concerns in and about the city, being thus one of the most active and energetic
business men in this section of the state, is a native son of New Ulm, having
been born there on July 23, 1875. Herman Held grew up in the old family home on
South German street in New Ulm, and was graduated from the New Ulm high school
in 1892. He then worked one year at St. Paul and in the winter of 1893-94 taught
school in district No. 2, in Brown county. He then entered the Normal School at
Winona, from which he was graduated in 1695 and for three years thereafter
taught school in New Ulm. He then engaged in the book and stationery business
with his brother, Otto, in New Ulm, and was thus engaged until 1906, during a
part of which time and continuing until 1913 he was the local agent for the
United States Express Company and the Adams Express Company. In 1906 Herman Held
was placed in charge of the late Jacob Pfenninger's private affairs and from
1909 to the present has been one of the trustees of the Pfenninger estate.

    In 1909 Herman Held formed a partnership with Elmer H. Haeberle and took
over the ice business of the Leonard Haeberle estate, later organizing the New
Ulm Ice Company, which they are still successfully conducting. In addition to
his extensive connection with the New Ulm Stone Company, of which latter concern
he is the president and general manager, Mr. Held has other business interests
hereabout. He is a director of the New Ulm Savings and Loan Association and
president of the Pioneer Nursery Company. In general public affairs he also ever
has taken an active interest and is a member of the board of education and of
the board of health.
