HENRY NIENSTEDT

Henry C. Nienstedt, 86, of Gillett, a native of Two Rivers where
he served as superintendent of the former F. Eggers Veneer and
Seating co., Two Rivers, for more than 25 years, died late Sunday
afternoon at a Shawano convalescent home, where he was a patient
four years.

Gillett, with graveside services at 3:30 p.m. at Pioneers' Rest

Mr. Nienstedt was born at Two Rivers Aug. 27, 1897, son of the late
Henry and Mary Pfunder Niendstedt. His father was one of the early
Two Rivers commercial fishermen and as a boy he assisted him in the
operation of the rig. He was an early employe of the old Eggers firm,
now the Eggers Plywood Co., at Two Rivers and was its superintendent
until 1932 when he went to Gillett to become superintendent of Baldwin
Plywood Co. He retired 19 years ago and remained at Gillett except
for residence in California for several years. He married the former
Ella Koeser in Two Rivers more than 61 years ago. She died at South
Gate, Calif., six years ago.
Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. Lunette Berger, of South Gate, Calif.;
two sons, Paul, of Sturgeon Bay and Ned, of Gillett; seven grand-
children and eight grandchildren. He was preceded in death by a
