CHRISTIAN BRUENN, carriage maker, Durand, son of Henry and Lisette
Bruenn. Was born in Hirschburg, Germany, Oct, 8, 1836, he lived there
until he was sixteen years of age, when he came to the United States
and lived in Buffalo, N. Y., for two years; then came to Milwaukee,
where he learned the trade of carriage maker. In 1857 he traveled
through several of the Western States, then worked at his trade about
two years in Jefferson City, Mo., after which he visited his home in
Germany. Returning to Jefferson City, he worked there until he came to
Durand in 1861, where his brother Henry had already settled and was
engaged in the furniture and cabinet-making business. Here he concluded
to settle and started a carriage and wagon shop which he still carries
on. He was married in 1859 to Miss Henrietta Panzer, of Wunseidel,
Bavaria. Mr. Bruenn has been Town Clerk of Durand since 1871.
