Herman Schlegelmilch was born in Suhl, Germany, in 1830.  He learned the 
trade of gunmaker and followed that trade in many cities in Germany, and 
also in this country, to which he immigrated in 1853.  Mr. Schlegelmilch 
came to Eau Claire county in 1860 and settled in the city of Eau Claire.  
He erected the first brick building in that city and conducted a very 
successful hardware business.  He was supervisor of the village of Eau 
Claire and alderman when the city was incorporated.  Mr. Schlegelmilch 
died in 1903.  His wife, formerly Miss Augusta Krueger, was born at 
Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany.  They were married at Beaver Dam, Wis., 
and had five children.  Their son, Herman F. Schlegelmilch, was born in 
1867.
