Lunge, Fritz, brewer, Lake City, is the partner of John C. Schmidt, in the
brewing business. He was born in Schweren Mecklenberg, Germany, January
14, 1837, and is the son of Christopher and Sophia (Brinkho) Lange, who
were also natives of the same province, and by occupation farmers. His
educational advantages were somewhat limited, though he, like all the
better class of Germans, has made amends for it by careful study and
observation since his advent into this country. In the spring of 1857 he
emigrated to America in the same vessel with his partner, Mr. Schmidt, and
with him spent a year at Buffalo, New York, and the following spring came
to Wabasha county, Minnesota, and settled in West Albany township. Here he
took eighty acres of land under the homestead act, and purchased another
eighty. This he soon after sold and purchased a one hundred and sixty
acres in the same township, which he traded in 1877 for his Lake City
property. At. Buffalo, New York, on August 9, 1857, Mr. Lange was united
in marriage to Miss Henrietta Haase, who was also a native of Mecklenberg,
and came over in the same ship with himself, being six weeks on the ocean
in a sailing bark. Mr. Lange by industry and economy has made for himself
and family a comfortable home, and enjoys the respect and confidence of
his fellow men. He has four children, whose names are: Caroline, now Mrs.
Charles Chandell, of Campbell, Minnesota; Fritz J., Josephine and Henry,
at home. He is a member of the A.O.U.W. and the Sons of Hermann. Their
religious faith is in the Lutheran doctrine.
