C. F. KAISER.

     C. F. Kaiser, well-known building contractor at New Ulm, this county, is a
native of Germany, having been born in the city of Salzwadel in the kingdom of
Saxony, April 26, 1871, son of F. and Emilia Kaiser, both natives of that same
kingdom. F. Kaiser was a weaver and the owner of a small woolen-mill at
Salzwadel, where he lived many years, later moving to Hanover, where he spent
the remainder of his life. He and his wife were the parents of five children,
four of whom are still living; but the subject of this sketch is the only one of
these living in Brown county.

     C. F. Kaiser received his education in the schools of Hanover and was
trained to the carpenter's trade, becoming a very competent workman. When he was
past twenty-one years of age he came to the United States, locating at Mankato,
this state, in 1892. He followed his trade there for about two years, at the end
of which time he moved over to New Ulm, in 1894, and began working as a
carpenter. The next year he married and established a home there and has ever
since made his home in that city. In the year 1904 Mr. Kaiser engaged in the
contracting business on his own account and has become one of the most
successful contractors and builders in the city, employing a large force of men
and doing work all over this part of the country. Among the numerous substantial
structures he has built at New Ulm may be cited the Washington and Lincoln
school building.

     In 1895 C. F. Kaiser was united in marriage to Augusta Engel, daughter of
Fritz Engel and wife, and to this union two children have been born, Herman and
Elsie. Mr. Kaiser is a member of the New Ulm branch of the Sons of Hermann, of
the local lodge of the Modern Woodmen of America and of the Turnverein in the
affairs of all of which organizations he takes a warm interest. He is an
"independent" voter.
