After an apparent recovery from a cerebral hemorrhage six months ago, the residents of Kiel were shocked and saddened last Friday, when they learned that A. A. Laun, Sr. was suddenly stricken with a recurrence early that morning and passed away. Kiel not only lost a businessman, but a true friend in Mr. Laun.
Born in Millhome, east of Kiel, on January 19, 1880, he attended public school at Wausaukee, and later the St. John Military Academy at Delafield.
On June 25, 1902, Mr. Laun was united in marriage with Miss Bertha Rodenbaeck of New Holstein. She passed away in 1926. In 1901 he organized the present lumber company in New Holstein. In 1916 he became associated with the Kiel Furniture Co. of Kiel and Milwaukee, and in 1935 organized his own firm in Kiel.
He was a member since 1925, and was also past chairman of the Board of Governors of the American Furniture Mart in Chicago. He was one of the founders of the Elkhart-Moraine Sand and Gravel Co in 1910, and was also identified with the Wisconsin General Mineral Aggregate Association.
At the time of his death, Mr. Laun was treasurer of the State Central Committee of the Republican party of Wisconsin; president of the Tri-County Republican Club, and a director of the Wisconsin State Board of Vocational and Adult Education. He was chairman of the Voluntary Goodland for Governor Committee in 1944.
In 1942 Governor Julius Heil named Mr. Laun on his list of colonels. In 1901 he moved to New Holstein, where shortly after he served four terms as village president. He was a 32nd degree Mason, belonging to the consistory class of 1913 and was a member of the Shrine. Mr. Laun was president of the A. A. Laun Furniture Co. of this city and the A. A. Laun Co of New Holstein, and was well-known in furniture and lumber circles throughout the nation and was prominent in many affairs of the state.
He is survived by his second wife, the former Mildred Faville; one daughter, Mrs. Frank G. (Margaret) Aff of Washington, D. C., and three sons, Donald, Alfred A., Jr., and John all of this city, and one brother, Henry G. Laun of Wausaukee.
