H. H. HEILBRON (Rep.), of Milwaukee, was born in the city of Bochum,
Germany, on the 19th day of March 1869. After a few years' attendance
in the public schools of his home city, he was admitted as a student
in the imperial academy at the age of nine years, from which
institution he graduated in 1887. Believing he would be more
successful in life in America, Mr. Heilbron came to Milwaukee on the
30th day of July, 1887. He at once found employment in a mercantile
business where he remained until 1894. In the latter year he engaged
in the grocery and commission business and during this time he again
took up his old studies and became a student in the Milwaukee Law
School in 1898, from which he graduated in 1900, being one of the few
who successfully completed the three years' course in two years. In
October of the same year he was admitted to practice law in the courts
of the state of Wisconsin and opened his law office in the Cawker
Building 14 Wells St., Milwaukee where he is still located. He has
always affiliated himself with the republican party, having always
been a strong supporter of Senator La Follette and the principles he
contends for, and having at all times taken an active interest in the
local affairs of his ward and city, of which he has been a resident
for sixteen years. He was nominated at the primary without opposition,
in 1906, and was elected to the assembly, receiving 1,863 votes
against 1,631 for Jos. M. Crowley (Dem.) and 593 votes for David White
(Soc. Dem.).
