         CHARLES NIEMANN, saloon, Fountain City, was born in Ger-
       many, in State of Mecklenburg, Aug. 6, 1823, and in 1853, 
       came to America and first settled in the State of Indiana, 
       where he was employed at constructing railroad. In August 
       of 1855, he moved to Fountain City and worked in a saw-mill, 
       and in 1857, carried the mail between Fountain City and 
       La Crosse. At one time was fourteen days making the trip 
       on account of the bad roads, and at another time when they 
       were impassable for the snow, he hired C. W. GILBERT, who 
       skated down the river to La Crosse, and back, bringing with 
       him 100 pounds of mail. MR. NIEMANN continued at this busi-
       ness until 1869, and afterwards erected the large brick 
       block, where he now does business. He has been a member of 
       the Lutheran Church for twenty-two years, and was married 
       at La Crosse, in the year 1860, to MARGARET CARRISCH, by
       whom he has one son and two daughters.
