traveled to Milwaukee via Canada, stayed there about 6 weeks 
and then came to Manitowoc where they have lived ever since. 
Here they overcame all the difficulties and troubles of the 
pioneer life and enjoyed the highest admiration of their fellow 
citizens. In March last year the couple celebrated their Diamond

Oscar G. Lindemann, Longtime Cheese Industry Leader, Passes Away—Manitowoc, WI

Oscar G. Lindemann, 80, who spent more than six decades in the cheese and dairy 
industry and was actively involved in several organizations during his career, 
died last Saturday at Aurora Medical Center in Two Rivers WI.
Lindemann was born and raised in Manitowoc, WI, and was the third generation of 
his family to be involved in the dairy industry. As a youth, he helped on the 
family dairy farm owned by his father, Oscar E. Lindemann.
He also worked summer vacation breaks with Steve Suidzinski, owner  of Steve’s 
Cheese in Denmark, WI, and later hand-wheeled cheese, hand-stacked 75-pound 
cheddars, waxed cheese and filled in wherever he was needed at Northern Wisconsin 
Produce, the family-owned cheese business that his grandfather helped start in 
1907. 
(Front page)

After serving in the US Army during World War II, including an initial assignment 
with Meat and Dairy Inspection Corp., Lindemann returned to Manitowoc and again 
became active in Northern Wisconsin Produce, buying and selling cheese and working 
with many plants that Northern and Sunny Valley Creamery, a sister corporation, 
owned and operated.
Lindemann became owner of Northern Wisconsin Produce in 1963 and was active with 
the company until the present time. The Lindemann family continues to operate the 
business.
During his career in the cheese business, Lindemann was an early member and director 
of the former Wisconsin Cheese Seminar, now known as the International Dairy-Deli-
Bakery Association; and served two terms on the National Cheese Institute’s board 
of directors, and also held the office of treasurer.
Lindemann was also a longstanding member of the National Cheese Exchange, and was 
the buyer of the last car of cheese ever sold at the NCE, on April 25, 1997.
Finally, Lindemann was a longstanding member of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers 
Association, which earlier this year bestowed its highest honor, Life Member, on 
Lindemann.
He is survived by, among others, his wife of 51 years, children; two daughters,
five sons and a brother.

From Der Nord Westen, 30 June 1892:
Death on Sat. evening after a long illness, of Mr. Charles Luling of Manitowoc.
He was born 06 Oct. 1830 in Minden, Westphalia, and came to America in 1849. He 
settled for a while in Chicago, then other sites in the State of Illinois, 
eventually settling in Fox Lake, Wisconsin, where he married Miss Stark in 1856. 
In 1859 he came to Manitowoc and was employed in the store of the Barnes Bros. In 
1865, the First National Bank was organized here, and he was taken on as cashier, 
a position he held until his death. After the death of his first wife, he married 
again in 1865 to Miss Mitchell with whom he had a happy life until her death in 
Feb. of this year. (The article describes his activity as a political activist, 
including mayor of Manitowoc.) In the recent past he suffered substantial pain 
from cancer, and so one must consider his death as a release. “Manitowoc has lost 
a fine citizen in the death of Mr. Luling”. The funeral procession took place on 
Tuesday with a very large attendance.

ANNA E.C. LUPS / LUEPS

From Der Nord Westen, 08 Apr. 1909:
Wide sorrow greeted the news Monday afternoon that Miss Anna Lueps had died.
Miss Lueps was born 06 February 1860, daughter of the late Jacob Lueps, one 
of the earliest pioneers of Manitowoc. She attended the local schools and 
when she was grown worked several years as a teacher here and in Kiel. She 
suffered with a slow illness for a long time and made a trip to Germany last 
year to consult with specialists, but even those doctors were unable to help 
her, so she came back to her hometown. A short while ago the illness took a 
downturn… and her pain eventually was so great that one must consider her death 
as a release. Miss Lueps was an active and faithful member of Cilo Club and of 
the Ladies Aid Society. She is survived by a brother, Wm. G. Lueps, Asst. Inland 
Revenue Collector here, and 3 sisters –Misses Clausine and Johanne here, and Mrs. 
Heins in Wittenberg, Wisconsin. The funeral will be held this afternoon at the 
city cemetery.
