Mr. Rehrauer was born in the town of Mishicot Feb. 23, 1860, a son of the late Joseph and Barbara Schmidt Rehrauer, who were among the earliest settlers in the town. His early life was spent on a farm, and as a young man he obtained employment at the Hamilton Manufacturing company. Mr. Rehrauer entered business when a young man, taking over the old Washington House. Later he purchased the old Wuerster hall, three and a half miles north of Two Rivers, known as Eastwin.
After a few years he disposed of the establishment to the Zander family. He returned to Two Rivers and engaged in the livery business on N. Washington street for more than 10 years. Later Mr. Rehrauer was employed at Plant 4 of the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing Company, retiring in 1937.
