Mr. Albert Quilling, of this firm, was born in Prussia in 1852. He is a
relative of his partner, Mr. Schutte. The parents of these gentlemen came
to this country at the same time, from the same part of Germany, and together
came to Dunn County. Mr. Quilling, like his partner, has been a resident
of Dunn County since his parents, Christ and Dorathy Quilling, came here.
He taught a few terms of school in Chippewa County before he engaged in
business in 1873. He was married to Henrietta Schmidt, born in Westphalia.
They have one child, George. Have lost three children, two sons and one
daughter. Like a number of other successful business men of Menomonie,
they began with small means, and are now numbered among the most substantial
business firms of the county.

Schutte & Quilling were general merchants, bankers and grain dealers, in
Menomonie.
