Aug. Lindner was born in Germany, March 18, 1848, and at the age of twelve years accompanied his parents to this country.
In the spring of 1861 they located on a farm in the town of Schleswig, Manitowoc county, and later he engaged in the mercantile business with Mr. Heins for a short time. When he disposed of his interest in the store he went to Freeport, Ill., where he remained until 1873 when he returned to Kiel and shortly after re-engaged in the mercantile business for himself near the railroad depot.
Some twenty-two years ago he disposed of his stock and built and addition to the store building having the same remodeled into a hotel which he conducted until his death. He was married in 1870 to Elizabeth Kasper and from this union eight children were born, seven of whom, four sons and three daughters,survive him. His wife died some thirteen years ago.
In their family were seven children who reached maturity. Flora married Henry J. Ammann, a cigar manufacture of Kiel. Edgar George is proprietor of the Commercial Hotel of Kiel. Hugo W., who is engaged in the marble business and is also village clerk, married Matilda Gessert, of Kiel, a daughter of Cornelius Gessert, an engineer for a woodenware company. Walter, who is also in the marble business, married Hedwig Leight, of Winona, Minnesota, a daughter of Joseph Leight, deceased, who was publisher of a newspaper. Hedwig resides with her brother Edgar at Kiel. Ferdinand died when thirty years old. Thekla married Walter Mulcahy, who is a bookkeeper in a packing house in Sandpoint, Idaho. A sister of August Lindner, born in Germany, lives at Kiel. Mrs. Lindner died November 15, 1896, she too, having been born in Germany.
His hotel, the Commercial House, was well patronized by the traveling public and its proprietor was popular with all with whom he became acquainted. For many years he was town clerk of Schleswig and for the past two terms was acting as clerk of the village of Kiel. He was clerk of the school board, secretary of the cemetery association, and previous to the election of Grover Cleveland held the office of postmaster of the village.
In all positions of trust he was found to be reliable and honest. He was also a staunch member of the I. O. of O. F. His funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon and was largely attended by friends from the neighboring town. A visit to the village of Kiel without meeting August Lindner will seem strange to his many friends.
