       stein. Born in Prussia, Germany, in 1819; came to America 
       in 1854, then west to Manitowoc, Co., Wis., where he went

       1869, and then moved the mill to Reedsville in 1874; staid 
       there one year and came to New Holstein in 1875, and built

       the association was formed and the mill rebuilt having a
       capacity of 300 bushels per day. Mr. DUMKE married in 1844, 
       and has a family of nine children, six girls and three boys
