ADOLPH C. HEINRICH - Vol III, pg 807-808
Adolph C. Heinrich, who for a long period was actively identified with the
business interests of Minneapolis in the conduct of the Mueller-Heinrich Brewing
Company, was called to his final rest in 1895, at the comparatively early age of
thirty-six years. His birth occurred in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, on the 14th
of February, 1858, his parents being John and Minnie (Borchert) Heinrich, both
of whom were natives of Germany. Emigrating to the United States, they first
took up their abode in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, whence they came to
Minneapolis about 1865. Here the father established a meat market, at the corner
of First street and First avenue North, of which he re­mained proprietor for
several years, and then purchased the business of the Mueller Brewing Company,
organizing the Heinrich Brewing Company, which owned and con­trolled the largest
brewery in the city. This he conducted successfully to the time of his demise,
which occurred March 9, 1890. He belonged to the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows and enjoyed an extensive and favorable acquaintance in this city.
Adolph C. Heinrich supplemented his early educational advantages by a course of
study in the Central high school of Minneapolis and on entering the business
world became identified with his father and three brothers in the brewing
industry. He purchased his father-in-law's interest at the time of the latter's
death and continued the business in association with his brothers for about
three years, on the expiration of which period the Heinrich Brewing Company
consolidated with the Minneapolis Brewing Company. A man of excellent executive
ability, keen discernment and unfaltering en­terprise, he gained a gratifying
measure of prosperity in the conduct of his affairs and was widely recognized as
one of the substantial and representative citizens of Minne­apolis.
In 1879 Mr. Heinrich was united in marriage to Miss Mary E. Mueller, a daughter
of John B. and Rosie Ann (Schmidt) Mueller, who left their native Germany when
Mrs. Heinrich was but two years of age. The mother was drowned on the voyage.
From the Atlantic seaboard Mr. Mueller made his way to Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
whence he re­moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, while subsequently he came to
Minneapolis. Here in association with Mr. Krensline he erected the
Mueller-Krensline brewery, which he con­ducted throughout the remainder of his
life, passing away July 13, 1890. Fraternally he was identified with the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Mr. and Mrs. Heinrich became the parents of
two sons: John A., secretary and treasurer of the company which operates the
Haywood box factory; and George W., president of the Heinrich Chemical Company.
Adolph C. Heinrich belonged to the Knights of Pythias and enjoyed an en­viable
reputation in both business and social circles of his adopted city.
