John Martin Duecker was born October 16, 1852, and enjoyed the distinction of being the first white child born in Kiel. After he grew to manhood he went to Iowa, where he worked a few years as clerk in several stores. Returning to his home here, he worked as cheesemaker in his father's factory, the first one established in this vicinity.
Mr. Duecker was married in 1877 to Emilie Griebenow,and shortly afterward he formed a partnership with his cousin Fred.Duecker and established a hardware store on the corner of Fremont and Sixth streets. The latters interests were purchased in 1885 by his brother Gustave A. Duecker, and the business was conducted under the name of J. M. Duecker & Co. until 1910, when the J. M. Duecker Hardware Co. was incorporated, Mr. Duecker being elected president. He retired from active business when the company sold out to A. A. Paulsen in 1919.
During his long business career in Kiel he had dealings with many people in this vicinity, and by unswerving honesty won and held their confidence and deep respect. He was a strong factor in the community life, taking part in all movements tending to improve local business and enhance the growth of the city.
He filled a number of positions of trust and honor, serving as village president and trustee years ago. In 1923 he was elected city alderman of the second ward and served until he moved to the home of his son-in-law, Chr. Roeck last spring, after the death of his wife, which occurred in April of this year. He was also a director of the State Bank of Kiel.
The survivors are two children, H. C. Duecker of Algoma and Mrs. Chr.Roeck of Kiel. A son, Walter, died in 1919. He also leaves two brothers, Gustave and William, both of Kiel, and eight grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the home of G. A. Duecker and burial will be made in the Kiel Cemetery, Rev. W. Rech of the Reformed church officiating.
