on the Betcher property. near the Mississippi bridge, on the cor- ner of Main and Bluff, but the rapid growth of the business soon demanded larger grounds; they therefore removed to their pres- ent location in 1907. where they built a modern up-to-date boat factory. It is composed of the following departments: the ma- chine shop. employing twenty-five men. who manufacture the motors for the launches; the woodworking department, employ- ing twenty men. who manufacture the launches; the testing room and tinshop, woodworking machine shop, stock and draft room, engine and boiler room. warehouses A and B. where 200 launches can be stored. They employ fifty men and manufacture 1,000 boats yearly. which are sold all over the world. The plant cost about $50,000. The business is incorporated under the firm of Red Wing Boat Manufacturing Company. The following are the officers : R. H. Boxrud, president ; J. R. Trautner, vice-president and manager : C. F. Hjermstadt, secretary and treasurer.

Remmler's Brewery. In 1861, William Heising came to Red Wing and purchased of John Friederich the Old Minnesota house, located on the corner of Bush and Fifth streets. and immediately turned it into a brewery, with the addition of cellars and the necessary appliances for the manufacture of beer. In 1869, Mr. Heising built a fine brick structure. 40x80 feet. three stories above the basement. The basement contained the malt machinery and other apparatus. On the first floor were the beer kettle, mash tub, cooler works and the various appliances. Second and third floors were devoted to general purposes. The first beer kettle- 1861-had a capacity of twenty barrels, and the works now have a kettle of fifty barrels capacity. December, 1873. Mr. Heising died, and the business then devolved upon the widow. This en- terprising woman soon after had an excavation made for a beer vellar. twenty feet deep, fifteen feet wide and 180 feet in length, and above that an ice house. 40x50 feet, two stories in height, built of brick. In 1877. Mrs. Heising was married to A. Remmler. Under the direction of Mr. Remmler, 1878, a new dry kiln was put up, built of brick. 20x22. three stories : an engine house, 22x34, same height. also of brick. On the first floor of the latter build- ing is the engine. manufactured at Erie, Pa .. and the boiler. The second floor is devoted to the water tanks, cold and hot, and on the third floor cooler apparatus. Since the death of Mr. Remmler in 1908, his son Otto is his successor.

Red Wing Brewing Company. The original building of this enterprise was put up by Lorenz and Phillip Hoffman in 1857, having a limited capacity, and when Jacob Christ took charge of it in 1871 the annual sales were only about 500 barrels. Later 1.400 barrels were produced yearly. The main building was re- built in 1878. of stone. 42x52 feet, with engine room 26x32, brew-

ery room 24x50. The brewery was supplied with one of M. W. Altus' coolers, 6x12 feet ; an iron mash tub, twenty-seven feet in circumference by four feet six inches in height, and copper beer boilers of thirty-two barrels capacity ; also one of Smith's patent malt mills ; a cool shop, 20x22 feet. made of sheet iron and brick.

The main building was two stories above the basement, and instead of the sample room an office and bottling department was added. In addition there was an ice house built on the refrigera- tor plan, 21x53 feet. The brewery has since been enlarged and completely remodeled at an aggregate expense of $50,000, hav- ing now a capacity of from fifty to sixty thousand barrels annal- ly. It is now a modern. up-to-date plant in every respect.

In 1905, Zimmerman & Featherstone became co-partners of the business. July 1, 1909, Mr. Zimmerman bought out Mr. Feather- stone and incorporated under the name of Red Wing Brewing Company. The following are the officers: W. F. Zimmerman, president ; Fred G. Haas. vice-president ; C. P. Zimmerman, see- retary and treasurer.

German Methodist Episcopal Church, of Red Wing. This church society was organized in October, 1855, with Rev. Gustav Zollman as pastor, and Gottlieb Ziebrasse as local preacher, and the following named persons as members of the congregation : A. Koch, Friederich and Mary Koch, William and Katherina Koch, Margareta Koch, Lena Hoffmann, Otto Kaschube and Katherina his wife, Henry Banze, Friederich and William Sie- brasse, Margareta Siebrasse, Anna M. Siebrasse, Herman Kalter- john, Gottlieb Post, Anna Post, Conrad Singenstrue, Charles Ahlers, Sr., Louisa Ahlers, and Charles Ahlers, Jr. After the organization of the society, and until the erection of a house of worship, their meetings were held at the residence of A. Koch. In the summer of 1856, the Red Wing town proprietors donated the society a lot for a church building at the corner of West. avenue and Seventh street. The first church in Red Wing was built on it, a small frame structure 24x36 feet, costing $400. The church was dedicated in November, 1856, by the presiding elder, Rev. H. Roth. For many years this building served as a place of worship. It was finally sold to M. B. Lewis, who moved it up the hill to Sturtevant street, where it still stands as one of the old landmarks of Red Wing. The congregation built a new church costing $2,500, which was dedicated in 1892; improvements have been made on the building since. A parsonage was built in 1902 at a cost of $1.000. Besides the Red Wing church there are two others in the county, one at Hay creek and the other at Belvidere. These two churches form a part of the Red Wing circuit and have promising congregations. The list of pastors is found elsewhere.

German Lutheran St. John's Church, of Red Wing. The German Lutherans were first gathered in 1856 by Rev. Sievers. who came up by the intercession of the Lutheran pastors, of St. Lonis, preaching twice and celebrating the Holy Communion with

381

them. In 1857 Rev. Hever passed through Red Wing and called them together for services. In 1858 a Conference was held at the Swedish Lutheran Church, at which gathering three German pastors were present-Rev. Wier, Rev. Heyer and Rey. Bauer or Brauer. When the Germans heard of this they came and pleaded with the pastors in behalf of their distress, being without the Word of Life. Rev. Wier promised to serve them occasionally and administered the Sacrament of Holy Baptism among them. Services were held in private homes, and finally in the Swedish Lutheran Church. The members who first started the congrega- tion were: William Retschlag. Andrew Lehrbach, Lorenz Hoff- man, George Zeitler, Ferdinand Hempftling and a few others whose names could not be ascertained. One of the first elders of the congregation was Ferdinand Hempftling. In 1861 the little fold of German Lutherans mustered up courage to build a church, which was dedicated to the service of the Lord in December of that year. Rev. Heyer, the founder of the Minnesota Synod, con- ducted the services of dedication, according to the Lutheran Ritual. Rev. Grusendorf took up the work in 1861 and taught school, but left soon. In 1862 Rev. C. F. Heyer took charge of the congregation, but owing to his advanced age retired in 1863. Rev. C. H. Blecken succeeded him and served the congregation until 1866. At this time Rev. A. Schmidt was called. He was quickly succeeded by Rev. Christian Bender, who took charge of the congregation December 7, 1867. Under his pastoral direction the congregation quickly flourished. After ten years of labor, it became necessary that the congregation erect a more commodious church structure and the present edifice was erected and dedi- cated in 1878. In 1881 it became necessary to call a teacher, R. Bertling. He was succeeded in 1884 by F. W. Kalfahs, under whose management the school flourished to an enrollment of sixty-five children. In 1889 hardships were encountered. The teacher, having been called to Wauwatosa, Wis., the congrega- tion hesitated to call a successor amid these trying circumstances. Soon, however, brighter days came along and the congregation was enabled to purchase a $1,200 Kimball organ. This bright spark was soon darkened when the successful career of the true and faithful pastor. Rev. Christian Bender, came to a sudden close. Over thirty-three years he faithfully served the congrega- tion with much sacrifice. God crowned his labors with success. He died February 17th, 1901. After many vain efforts to secure a successor, the present pastor, Rev. J. R. Baumann, was finally called September 1, 1901, and was installed by Rev. Wm. Franz- mann, of Lake City, Minn .. in that year. In 1902 the congrega- tion erected a parsonage for the pastor. Feeling the necessity of English mission work, the pastor was obliged to conduct English

services. November 16, 1901, the first English services were held. From this time on there have been regular evening services, every Sunday in the English language, except during the months of June, July and August. In 1906 the congregation deemed it expe- dient to call a teacher, and Alexander Jaeger was chosen. He was succeeded by A. C. F. Meinken, the present teacher, in 1908. Mr. Yaeger having accepted a similar position in Tomah, Wis. The school readily prospered and it became evident that the class-room had to be remodelled. The young people of the con- gregation collected funds and renovated the class-room in the summer of 1907 at an expense of $2,100.

St. John's Evangelical German Lutheran Church of Fronte- nac is the outgrowth of the labors of the Rev. C. F. Heyer, 1860, who founded the church with the following membership: J. C. Bennewitz, John Thompson, William Miller, Jacob Schneider, John Raeper, John Luth, John Hennings and Fred Koehn. J. C. Bennewitz was the first president of the church, and superin- tendent of Sabbath School, which positions he held until 1875. In 1872 they built their present church edifice at a cost of $2,000. It is of wood, 36x50, and a very pretty house of worship. J. C. Bennewitz, Jacob Schneider and Wm. Miller were the building committee. In 1898 a steeple was built to the church; in 1900 a furnace was added : in 1903 the Ladies' Aid Society was organ- ized by Mrs. JJ. R. Baumann. The Ladies' Aid has contributed up to date $1,050 for the church and for benevolent purposes. The Ladies' Aid is now contemplating the purchase of a small pipe organ. The pastors of the congregation were Rev. C. F. Heyer, Rev. C. H. Blecken, Rev. Christian Bender, Rev. J. R. Baumann, the present pastor.

The German Lutheran St. Peter's Church of Belvidere was built in 1873. The first pastor was Rev. Horst of Hay Creek. The present pastor is G. Ferber.

The German Lutheran Christ Church of Zumbrota was founded in 1896 by Rev. P. Hinderer. The present pastor is Rev. D. Metzger.

Grace Church, German Lutheran, of Goodhue. This church was organized in the spring of 1870 by Rev. Christian Bender. It had but eight members at that time. They were: A. Seeback, Gottlieb Seeback, R. Haas, Charles Zemke, Wm. Beteher, Herman Kempe and Peter Tipke. The church was built in 1878, but was de- stroyed by fire the following year. It was rebuilt at once at a cost of $2,500, a structure 36x50 ft. Rev. Christian Bender delivered the dedicatory service the last Sunday in August. It now has a membership of about sixty-five.

LAND OFFICE RECORDS.

Government Records of Those Who Took Claims in Goodhue County Before 1858-A List of Hardy Pioneers, Nearly All of Whom are Now Dead-The Year and Month in Which They Came and the Section, Township and Range in Which They Settled-Many of Their Claims Still in the Possession of Their Families.

In order that no old settler may be forgotten, and that the names of those sturdy pioneers who came to this county before 1858 may be perpetuated. the editors of this work have com- piled a list of those who, in the early days of the county, took claims in the various townships. In some instances where claims were taken by the same person in more than one section, the name appears as having taken land in but one section, a precau- tion which was necessary in view of the fact that otherwise there would appear many unnecessary repetitions.

The old settlers who still remain with us will read this list with mingled feelings of pleasure and regret-pleasure at the memories of pleasant companionship that the names will recall, and regret that so many of them have passed on to the other shore.

It is a matter of congratulation to the county that many of the claims mentioned above still remain in the possession of the families of the original claimants, and in many instances the owner of the homestead at the present time was born on the farm where he still lives.

The list follows :
