JACOB BRABANDER, cooper, Second street, near King, has been a resident of La 
Crosse since 1857, and has been in the same business during the whole time. He 
was born in Luxemburg, Germany, in 1822, son of Peter Brabander, also a 
cooper. Jacob learned his trade of his father, and spent seven or eight years 
working at his trade in different parts of Europe; came to the United States 
in 1856, and lived one year in Port Washington, Wis., before coming to La 
Crosse. His first wife was Katie Bushard. She died in 1872, leaving three 
children - Bertha (now in Germany), Minnie (now the wife of John M. Childres, 
of La Crosse) and Mary. His second wife was Anna Berkhaus. She died June 7, 
1879, leaving four children - Jacob, Annie, Louisa and Katie.
