Suggested edit: Biography: Rudolph M. Bremer
On the roster of men who have come prominently before the public in banking circles in recent years is found the name of Rudolph M. Bremer, assistant cashier of the Grand Rapids National City Bank. Mr. Bremer has been identified with this institution for two decades and is widely known in monetary circles, where evidence of the esteem in which he is held by his associates is found in his presidency of the local chapter of the American Institute of Banking. Mr. Bremer is a native of Kent county, born on a farm in Walker township, Oct. 31, 1878, son of Francis Henry and Mary (Wurtzler) Bremer, natives of Germany. Francis H. Bremer was about twenty years of age when he immigrated to the United States, first locating in the vicinity of Detroit, and about 1865 coming to Kent county, where he passed the remainder of his life as a farmer. His death occurred in 1886, while Mrs. Bremer survived him until 1915. Henry Bremer, an uncle of the subject of this sketch, was city treasurer and comptroller of Grand Rapids in an early day. After attending the public schools of Grand Rapids, in 1898 Rudolph M. Bremer entered the Grand Rapids National City Bank, where he began to learn the business 'at the desk, holding a minor clerkship. The fidelity and industry which he displayed attracted attention and won him promotion, and as his ability was developed by experience he was given positions of greater responsibility and trust, eventually being made assistant cashier, a capacity in which he has given evidence of the possession of sound acumen and practical knowledge of the intricacies of banking. In addition to being president of the Grand Rapids chapter of the American Institute of Banking, he belongs to the Credit Men's Association, and has other connections which assist in making him well known to business men and bankers generally. Mr. Bremer is a Republican, but a good citizen's interest is all he has taken in public affairs. His religious affiliation is with the German Lutheran church. Mr. Bremer was married Oct. 16, 1907, to Susan, daughter of Martin L. and Mary (Rimmell) Harris, of Grand Rapids, and they have a son, Robert Harris. Mrs. Bremer's parents, who were farming people of Eaton county, Michigan, are both deceased.
