Major and Mrs. Rosencranz have three living children, Olive, Richard and Gertrude, each of whom has received every advantage arising from a cultured home and university training. Major Rosencranz has always been deeply interested in the cause of education, and since 1906 has been presi- dent of the school board of Evansville. During that time notable advance has been made for the extension of industrial training and for the concen- tration of the seventh and eighth grades of the present high school. Suit-

able buildings have been erected and the interest aroused in the school sys- tem has brought about good work in modernizing the sanitary system and in adding to and improving the school grounds. After seven years spent in urging the addition of a manual training school without enlisting the support of the community, Major and Mrs. Rosencranz donated from their own funds the cost of establishing the manual training school, and today several hundred students are being instructed in that splendid institution. He is deeply interested in all the grave and important problems-political, sociological and economic-which are attracting the attention of the best thinking men of the age. During the last two years he has given especial attention to the problem of furnishing better homes to people of moderate means and building apartment houses to be rented at low rates. More of the same work is being planned on lines similar to that which is being carried out in Washington, D. C., and New York, by General Sternberg and others. Major Rosencranz is also making investment of considerable sums of money for the working girls' association. Last year he purchased a home for this association in a suitable location-the Setchell homestead on Second street. Mrs. Rosencranz is very actively connected with him in this work. They have recently purchased the George Lorenz homestead, adjoining the other, and are now planning to greatly extend the facilities of the association. Few men have seemed to recognize so fully the obli- gations and responsibilities of wealth. Believing in the brotherhood of mankind, Major Rosencranz has put forth most effective effort to alleviate the hard conditions of life and to give to the workers of the world op- portunity for advancement, for usefulness and for happiness. His labors find their monument in many tangible results as seen in the lives of those who have been benefited by his efforts.
JULIUS NIEDNAGEL.
Julius Niednagel, a successful florist of Evansville, and a student of nature who has devoted his life to the cultivation of her most beautiful forms, is of German parentage and was born in Kaleb, Baden, Germany. He was educated in the public schools, and even as a youth, was attracted to the study of floriculture, in which he has attained a remarkable pro- ficiency, very largely through his own observation and experience. While he was still in his boyhood he began learning the florist's business in his native village and in 1869, when he came to America, he had already de- cided to devote his life to that pursuit. He remained for a time in New York, engaging in different vocations, but in 1887 came to Evansville, where he entered the employ of J. D. Camody, on Water street, continuing in that connection for two years.
Having become thoroughly acquainted with the situation and believing that the time had arrived to establish himself permanently, he became as-
420
HISTORY OF VANDERBURG COUNTY
sociated with a Mr. Halback in the florist and greenhouse business, per- forming his part with such ability that four years later he had acquired sufficient capital to establish a greenhouse for himself on Walnut Hill. Here his success was even more pronounced, and in 1901 he purchased a tract of seven acres at his present location, No. 927 Lincoln avenue, where he built greenhouses and where he now maintains one of the most ex- tensive plants of the kind in the city. The air of neatness and order that prevails throughout the entire plant and the many facilities that are at hand for assisting in carrying forward the business, indicate good management and thorough attention to every detail.
In 1873 Mr. Niednagel was united in marriage to Miss Johanna Meta Meyer, and they became the parents of nine children. The three sons are following in the footsteps of their father and assist him in his business, while the daughters are living at the family home. Eight years ago, in 1902, Mr. Niednagel met with the greatest sorrow of his life in the death of his faithful companion.
In the various duties of householder, citizen and business man, Mr. Niednagel has always attempted to perform his part. His business in- terests have been of such a character as to add materially to the beauty of the city and to enhance the happiness of every lover of nature, increas- ing not only his individual fortune but adding to the permanent welfare of a large community. He does not belong to that class of men who re- quire their work to be laid out for them. He is an originator, and as a leader would have attained an enviable reputation in anything that en- gaged his attention. He belongs to a race that for hundreds of years has done a large part of the original thinking for the world, and in applying his own ideas in the course of his business, he has uniformly met with gratifying returns. His life has been characterized by principles that com- mand respect, and in all his dealings he has shown a probity that reflects upon him the highest credit.
FREDERICK BOCKSTEGE.
Evansville is fast becoming one of the centers of furniture manufac- turing in this country. Its business interests of this character have in- creased manifold in the last few years, and the men who are at the head of such industries may well be counted among the promoters and upbuilders of the city. Diligent and determined, Frederick Bockstege since entering business life has steadily worked his way upward, and since 1901 has oc- cupied the position of president of the Bockstege Furniture Company. He is numbered among the worthy citizens that Germany has furnished to the United States. His birth occurred in Prussia, April 16, 1862, his parents being Henry and Elizabeth Bockstege, who were also natives of the same
421
HISTORY OF VANDERBURG COUNTY
locality. The father was born in 1825 and became a miller by trade. Sub- sequently he took charge of the washing of coal in the mines and lived the life of an industrious, hard working man. His death occurred in 1900.
Frederick Bockstege was a pupil in the public schools of Germany to the age of fourteen years and then started out in life on his own account, so that whatever success he has since achieved is attributable entirely to his own labors, justly entitling him to the proud American title of a "self- made man." He served an apprenticeship of five years at the cabinet- maker's trade and then sought the opportunities of the new world in busi- ness lines. Crossing the Atlantic, he made his way to Akron, Ohio, where he was employed as carpenter for four months. He afterward spent four months as a cabinet-maker in St. Louis, and on the expiration of that period came to Evansville. Here he secured a position as cabinet-maker in the furniture manufacturing house of Joseph F. Puty, with whom he remained for three years, while later he was connected with the Smith & Holtman Planing Mill for two years. For one year he was in the employ of the firm of Stuhls & Karges, and at the end of that time he joined Mr. Karges in organizing the Karges Furniture Company, of which Mr. Bockstege was the president until January, 1910. In 1901 he organized the Bockstege Furniture Company and was elected its president, since which time he has remained as its chief executive officer. They employ seventy men in the manufacture of fine tables, and the product which they turn out, because of its excellence, finds a ready sale upon the market. The record of the business is written in terms of profit, and Mr. Bockstege is regarded as a valuable asset in business circles in Evansville. Other busi- ness interests have also profited by his keen discernment and capable di- rection. He is now financially interested in various corporate enterprises and is vice president of the Globe Furniture Company, a director of the Crescent Stove Works, a director of the Huser Battery Company, vice president of the Auto Travelers' Association, and a director of the Evans- ville Beveled Glass Company.
In August, 1887, Mr. Bockstege was married in this city to Miss Mina Seeger, and they have become the parents of nine children: Clara, twenty- three years of age, at home; Fred, twenty-two years of age, who is sec- retary of the Bockstege Furniture Company and manager of the exhibit in the furniture building; Herman, twenty years of age, who is with the Adams Express Company; Henry, eighteen years of age, who is with his father in the office; John, sixteen years of age, who is learning the trade of furniture manufacturing; Ida, Anna and Benjamin, aged respectively thirteen, eleven and seven years, all pupils in the public schools; and Mary, four years of age.
While the stress of circumstances forced Frederick Bockstege to be- come a factor in life's activities when but fourteen years of age, no mere environment or condition was strong enough to keep him in the back-
422
HISTORY OF VANDERBURG COUNTY
ground. Through the inherent force of character and his marked ability he gradually advanced in business circles until his position as one of the leading manufacturers and business men of Evansville is established by his own worth and by the consensus of public opinion.
U. H. SEILER.
U. H. Seiler, secretary-treasurer of the West Side Insurance & Real Estate Company, now operating extensively and successfully in those lines indicated by the title of the firm, was born in Bradford, Harrison county, Indiana, in 1868, and there attended the district schools. In 1889 he came to Vanderburg county and for eleven years thereafter was identified with educational interests as a teacher in the schools of Perry township, this county, his work being satisfactory and resultant from the fact that he con- sidered it purely from the standpoint of the individual. Moreover, he im- parted readily and clearly to others the knowledge that he had acquired.
Feeling that the teacher's profession offered too limited opportunities for success, he turned his attention to the real-estate business and became one of the organizers of the West Side Insurance & Real Estate Company, which was formed in 1908, its present officers being: Henry Dreier, presi- dent; G. W. Varner, M. D., vice president; U. H. Seiler, secretary-treas- urer; and E. L. Craig, counsel. The company, incorporated under the state laws of Indiana, has a capital stock of one hundred thousand dollars and Mr. Seiler has since acted as general manager. They conduct a general real-estate and insurance business and, although operating in all parts of the city, make a specialty of west side property. They are now developing three new additions, Poplar Grove, Grandview and Varnerton, which they are making very attractive, equipped with all modern improvements. The insurance business is also an important department, for they handle every kind of insurance and represent many of the most substantial companies. They also buy and sell property for others as well as develop their own, and their business is now reaching large and satisfactory proportions. Mr. Seiler is also secretary-treasurer and general manager of the West Side Building, Loan & Savings Association, with which he has been connected for several years. This company has made it possible for many working people to own their own homes. He was likewise one of the organizers of the West Side Business Association and was one of a committee of three, his associates being E. L. Craig and George Koch, appointed to report on the advisability of organizing the association. They reported favorably . and Mr. Seiler, George Koch and E. L. Craig were then named as a com- mittee to provide by-laws, resolutions, etc. This association has done ex- cellent work, especially in securing factories and other business enterprises for the west side, contributing much to the development and upbuilding of
423
HISTORY OF VANDERBURG COUNTY
that section. Mr. Seiler optioned and reoptioned over a quarter of a mil- lion dollars' worth of land adjoining the city in connection with the indus- trial move which has done so much for the city in bringing new industries, etc., having sold more than one-eighth of the lots himself.
In 1896, in Harrison county, Indiana, Mr. Seiler was married to Miss Mary Stemm, of Bradford, Indiana, and they have two children: Orwic E., twelve years of age, now a pupil of the high school; and Cecil Lawton, ten years of age, also attending public school.
Mr. Seiler belongs to Orion Lodge, No. 35, of the uniformed rank of the Knights of Pythias and has filled all of the chairs in the local organiza- tion. He is likewise a charter member of Waukee Tribe, I. O. R. M., and also belongs to West Side Council, No. 1143, National Union. He is identi- fied with many other institutions, including the west side branch of the Young Men's Christian Association. He is a typical business man of the present day, alert and enterprising, seeking out new opportunities for the enlargement of his business and at the same time recognizing the obliga- tions of citizenship.
FRANK R. AUSTIN.
Frank R. Austin, auditor of the Evansville & Terre Haute Railroad and associated lines, was born in Evansville, Indiana, February 3, 1868. There- fore Evansville numbers him among her native sons. His parents were Thomas and Sarah Austin. The father was born in Northamptonshire, England, on the 30th of December, 1832, and remained a resident of his native land through the period of his boyhood and youth, coming as a young man of twenty-five years to Evansville. Arriving in this city in 1857, he turned his attention to the nursery business, in which he engaged until 1861, when he took up draying. That business claimed his attention until 1880, when he removed to a farm in the vicinity of Evansville and gave his attention continuously to general agricultural pursuits until 1902. The care and diligence which he displayed in the cultivation of his fields brought him a measure of success that has enabled him to live retired through the past eight years, which period he has spent in Evansville, where he now makes his home. The mother was also born in England, on the 2d of April, 1840, and came to Evansville with her parents when five years old.
Reared under the parental roof, Frank R. Austin was a pupil in the public and high schools of Evansville to the age of seventeen years. He afterward spent two years in assisting his father upon the home farm and then, in preparation for the practical duties of a commercial career, en- tered the Curnick & Rank Business College, in which he pursued his studies for a year. On the completion of that course he engaged with the Evans-
424
HISTORY OF VANDERBURG COUNTY
ville & Terre Haute Railroad Company, accepting the position of clerk in the ticket department. The fidelity and capability which he displayed won him promotion through the various positions in the accounting department until in March, 1906, he was named as the successor of W. K. Allen, who was auditor for the Evansville & Terre Haute, the Evansville & Indian- apolis, and the Evansville Belt Railway Companies. Having thor- oughly mastered the duties which had previously devolved upon him, he was well qualified to assume the new position and his service in this con- nection has given entire satisfaction to the companies which he thus rep- resents.
In July, 1891, Mr. Austin was married to Miss Addie M. Snyder, of Evansville, and unto them have been born two children, Frank Marvin and Eunice Mildred. The son, now seventeen years of age, is a pupil in the high school, while the daughter, a maiden of thirteen, is a pupil in the graded school. Mr. and Mrs. Austin hold membership in the Presbyterian church and he is further identified with the National Union, a fraternal organization. His political support is given to the republican party. Throughout his entire life he has been a resident of Vanderburg county, and the fact that many of his warmest friends are those who have known him from his youth to the present time is an indication that his record has always been a creditable one.
LENERD HIRSCH.
Of all the occupations known to man that of the farmer is to be pre- ferred. Especially is this the case in regions of the United States where soil and climate are favorable and markets are convenient. Under such conditions a man may lead a life of independence which he can find in no other occupation. There was a time not far in the past when unfavorable weather often had a disastrous effect on farming operations but at the present time the skilled farmer plants a variety of crops and also raises live stock, so that although he may be a loser in one direction he gains in an- other and at the close of the year he generally finds that the gains are greater than the losses. Such a farmer is Lenerd Hirsch, owner of one of the best improved farms in Knight township, Vanderburg county. Here he has lived all his life and, having early been thoroughly trained to every- thing pertaining to the farm, he started right and thus avoided the costly blunders that are often so discouraging to a beginner.
Mr. Hirsch was born in Knight township in 1856. He is a son of Jacob and Mary Eva (Goelz) Hirsch. The father was born in Rhinebarn, Germany, and after growing up came to America, as many other enter- prising young men of the fatherland have done, in order that he might take advantage of the wonderful opportunities presented by the great re-
425
HISTORY OF VANDERBURG COUNTY
public. Here he became a successful farmer and many of his dreams were realized, showing that he made no mistake when he sought a fortune among strangers. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hirsch: John, Jacob P., Lenerd, Mary, Katherine, Anna, Elizabeth and Helena.
After pursuing the usual studies in the district schools, during which he gained a reputation as one of the bright boys of the neighborhood, Lenerd Hirsch turned his attention to the farm and under his father's direction became fully acquainted with the details of its operation and management. The father was a man of great industry and he taught his sons to work and direct their efforts so as to produce good crops. They also learned how to raise and care for horses, cattle, hogs and the smaller farm animals so as to receive the highest market prices. This education is of the great- est practical value to boys expecting to devote their attention to the farm, and Lenerd Hirsch became one of the most expert farmers in the neigh- borhood. He was united in marriage to Miss Tressa Zehner, whose father was a farmer of Warrick county. Eleven children have blessed this union -seven sons and four daughters, all of whom make themselves useful either in the household or on the farm.
Mr. Hirsch is affiliated with the democratic party and believes that his party represents better than any other the principles on which this government was founded. He votes the democratic ticket in state and national elections, but in local affairs he is not so particular as to party as he is in regard to the character of the individual. He is a member of the Independent Order of Foresters and since his childhood has been con- nected with the Catholic church, whose doctrines of brotherhood he heartily endorses. As the head of a large family, Mr. Hirsch has responsibilities which the ordinary man knows little about, but it is the principle of his life to perform each duty as it appears and not to worry over troubles which may never come. He is happy in his home, in his associations and in the work to which as a boy he decided to devote his life and in which, by the exercise of good judgment, he has attained marked success.
NICHOLAS ELLES.
The success and prominence of Nicholas Elles in the business world is indicated by the fact that he was honored by election to the presidency of the State Millers' Association. He continued for more than a quarter of a century in active connection with the milling business and built up an enter- prise which was not only a source of individual profit but was also an ele- ment in the city's commercial growth and development. He regarded busi- ness, however, as but one phase of existence nor allowed it to interfere with his obligations of citizenship or the faithful discharge of his duty to his fellowmen. He was a representative of one of the old families of Vander-
426
HISTORY OF VANDERBURG COUNTY
burg county and was of German lineage. His father, August Elles, was born in Wachenheim, Germany, in 1814, and was a young man of twenty- six years when in 1840 he emigrated to the United States. Making his way at once to Indiana, he settled in Armstrong township, this county, and be- came identified with the business interests of Evansville. He had learned the butcher's trade in his native land but taking up his abode here in 1845 he embarked in the retail grocery business, in which he continued with growing success until 1862. In the latter year he began the operation of a mill and met with prosperity in that undertaking, to which he devoted his energies untiringly until his life's labors were ended in death in 1871. The Canal Mills, by which name his enterprise was known, soon became a well known industry and their proprietor, because of his activity and reliability in business, is remembered as a useful and valued citizen. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Marguerite Schmitt, was born in Germany in 1820.
Nicholas Elles, the third child in his father's family, was a native of Armstrong township, born on the 28th of March, 1844. His education was acquired in the schools of Evansville, his mastery of various branches of learning winning him promotion through successive grades until his mental training well equipped him for entrance into the business world. He was first employed in his father's grocery store and from that time forward was connected with his father in business. Following the sale of the grocery store in 1862 he became identified with mill enterprises and in the course years was recognized as one of the leading millers of the state of In- diana. Inflexible integrity and straightforward dealing characterized all of his business transactions and his progressive spirit kept him abreast with the times in all that pertained to advancement along milling lines. He was for years a prominent member of the Indiana Millers' Association, and in 1881 was elected to the presidency of that organization. The state organ- ization elected him to the national association at Buffalo, New York, in 1889. While he conducted an enterprise of considerable importance and gained more than local fame in connection with his business interests, he yet found time and opportunity for cooperation in affairs of general mo- ment and did effective work along the lines of public progress. He was also deeply interested in the work of the Business Men's Association, doing all in his power to promote the trade conditions of the city that its pros- perity might be augmented.
In 1867 Mr. Elles was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Krau, who was born in Evansville in 1848. Her father, Frederick Krau, was a na- tive of Germany, and when a young man crossed the Atlantic to the new world, and for years engaged in the grocery business at Evansville, at the corner of Second and Main streets. He became a well known merchant of the city, prominently identified with the commercial activity here. He married Miss Elizabeth Decker, who had come to Evansville when nine years of age. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Elles were born three children, Louis
427
HISTORY OF VANDERBURG COUNTY
F., Adelia V. and William M. Mr. Elles was ever devoted to the welfare and happiness of his family, and counted it his greatest pleasure to min- ister to the interests of his wife and children.
In 1865 Mr. Elles became a Mason, and in 1866 attained the Knight Templar degree in the commandery. He held membership in the Presby- terian church, guided his life by its principles and passed away in that faith on the 2d of November, 1888. The entire period of his life had been passed in Vanderburg county, and during the greater part of the time he had been a resident of Evansville, so that his interests were closely allied with the city. His influence was at all times on the side of progress, im- provement, justice and truth. His course was never an equivocal one, and he ever stood fearlessly in defense of his honest convictions. Measured by the standards of honorable, upright manhood, he well deserved the high regard in which he was uniformly held.
