A. HIRSHHEIMER, proprietor La Crosse plow works, Third street; was born near 
Hulbron, Wurtemberg, Aug. 14, 1840; came to America at the age of 10, in 1850. 
He lived for six years in Blairsville, Indiana Co., Penn.; moved to La Crosse 
April 17, 1856, where he was engaged in his father's store during the summers 
of 1856 and 1857. He next was employed in the mill built by his father, being 
the second saw and grist mill erected in La Crosse. This was burned in the 
spring of 1860, after which he engaged in steamboating, and built and run a 
small steamer called the Eclispe, on Root River, until 1863, when he began to 
work at his present business, as narrated above. He was married, June 27, 
1869, to Miss Dora Fox, and has a family of four children. Mr. H. is still in 
the prime of life, and to all appearances good for a score of years of active, 
valuable business life.
