CAROLINA BRUEMMER
LAST MEMBER OF TRENTON COLONY DEAD
With the burial last week of Mrs. Caroline Bruemmer, whose death
occurred at Kewaunee, the last member of what was known as the
Trenton colony, which settled in Mishicot in 1854, was laid to
rest. The colony located at Mishicot from Trenton, N.J., back in
1854 and was made up of members of the Bruemmer family, all of
whom have long since passed away.
Mrs. Bruemmer was the widow of Fred Bruemmer, pioneer wagon maker
of Two Rivers and farmer of Mishicot and Civil War veteran. Mr.
Bruemmer enlisted in 1862 and left for the front with Joseph
Rankin's Company D, Twenty-Seventh. His death occurred in 1897.
In the early days, the Trenton colonists were prominent in both
Manitowoc and Kewaunee counties. Mrs. Bruemmer, who was 87, died
childless and the last of her family and of the colony.
