WILLIAM E. HUEVELMAN.

    William E. Huevelman, general manager and treasurer of the Minnesota Seed
Company, of New Ulm, this county, and who also is one of the directors of that
enterprising and thriving concern, is a native of Germany, having been born in
Westphalia, the northwestern province of Prussia, February 28, 1861, son of
Rudolph and Minnie Gerhart (VonderMark) Huevelman, natives of that same
province, faming people, who spent all their lives there, the latter dying in
1869 and the former in 1875. They were the parents of twelve children, ten of
whom are still living, but of these the subject of this sketch is the only one
living in Brown county.

    William E. Huevelman went to school until he was fourteen years of age, at
which time he began working as a farm hand and was thus engaged in his native
province until he was twenty years of age. He then came to the United States,
proceeding almost directly to Minnesota and locating at New Ulm, where he found
employment in the Aufterheide brick yard. After a year of that employment he was
engaged as a clerk in a drug store, where he remained for a year, at the end of
which time he was engaged as a clerk in the general store of John F. Neuman,
where he remained for nine years. He then went into business for himself, in
partnership with C. F. Ruemke, and was thus engaged for about six years, at the
end of which time failing health compelled him to sell his interest in the store
and get out into the open. For nine years thereafter he spent his summers as a
driver of a sprinkling wagon on the streets of New Ulm.

In the meantime he had become interested in the Minnesota Seed Company at New
Ulm, being a stockholder in the same, and since then has given his undivided
attention to the company, he also being one of the directors of the company, and
since them has given his undivided attention to the growing interests of the
company. The Minnesota Seed Company handles all kinds of field and garden seeds,
its trade covering all parts of the Northwest.

     On October 28.1885, William E. Huevelman was united in marriage to Caroline
Weddindorf, daughter of Herman and Margaret Weddindorf, and to this union two
children have been born, Herbert H., who is with the Milwaukee Electric Light
and Street Railway Company at Milwaukee, and Waldemar, who is connected with the
Citizens State Bank at New Ulm, Minnesota. Mr. Huevelman is a Republican and has
long given his close attention to local political affairs, hut has never been
included in the office-seeking class.
