J. Ammann, Pioneer Business Man Dies on Wednesday Henry J. Ammann, 67, widely known Kiel manufacturer, long a leader in musical circles, and the first mayor of the city of Kiel, died at his home this week Wednesday shortly after noon. His passing marked the end of a long illness from which there could be no recovery. His passing also takes from Kiel one of her best known and loved sons, a dominant factor in the civic growth of the community. Born on a farm in the town of Rhine Feb. 8, 1869, he came to Kiel with his parents at the age of two years. His entire remaining life was spent here. Early in life he developed a talent for music, and at the age of 17 organized the Kiel Arion Band, serving as its director and guiding spirit for many years. In 1890, when he was but 21 years old, he bought the August Kurz cigar factory which still exists, and of which he remained the active head until illness forced him to retire over a year ago. His factory from the outset enjoyed great success, and during 1902 turned out a half million cigars. He was united in marriage with Miss Flora Lindner of this city on Sept. 22, 1892. Three children were born to them, all of whom survive. They are Mrs. L. H. (Norma) Schaar and Mrs. Elmer (Vera) Toepel of this city, and Mrs. Valmer (Carmen) Goltry of Litchfield, Conn. Also surviving him besides his widow are three grandchildren, and a brother, Joseph and a sister, Miss Catherine, both of Los Angeles, Calif. His prominence in local affairs led his fellow townsmen to choose him as village president in 1901. He served until 1902, and again from 1903 to 1904. In 1920, when Kiel was incorporated as a city, Mr. Ammann was chosen the first mayor. (no newspaper named, April 1936) ********** Funeral services for Henry J.

THEODORE AMMANN II He was the son of Marie Agnes Riede and Theodor Ammann the 1st. Theodor was born on December 23, 1832 at or near Bedferdig, Rhin Provence, Germany. He served for three years in the Prussian army as a guard in Berlin and there made good use of his spare time to improve his knowledge especially in music in which he was gifted. At this time the Prussian government gave every soldier an educational opportunity without cost. In 1857 he married Gertrude Born in Hemmerden, Kreis Reus, in the Government District of Düsseldorf, Germany, Rhine Province. They came to America in 1864 and one of her brothers accompanied them. They crossed in one of the first steamships. It took twelve days to cross the Atlantic and twelve more days to travel from New York City to Wisconsin. Three children had been born in Germany — Joseph, Katrina, and Anna. They lived for a short time in New Holstein, Calumet County, Wisconsin, where Rosa was born. Agnes was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin and Henry in Rhine Township, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Theodor Ammann II with his family moved to Kiel about 1871, where he made his living as a cabinet maker. He bought land in Kiel along the Sheboygan River from Hans Greve in 1886. Their first home was at the corner of Broadway and Fifth Street. Later they moved to a home at what is now Sixth Street. He sold one of his lots on the river (406 - 5th Street) to his son Henry in 1902. ******** The following is taken from Theodor Ammann’s obituary published in the Kiel paper, which was published in German at that time; translated, it reads: At 5:30 on Monday morning, Mr. Theodore Ammann passed away quietly and peacefully, as he had lived, in his sleep at his home on 6th street. The deceased was 81 years old on Dec. 23, and celebrated his golden wedding anniversary with his surviving wife three years before that. He leaves besides his wife, four children: Katharine of Chicago; Agnes, widow of Martin Thompson, also living in Chicago; Joseph and Henry of Kiel. The former has a jewelry store, and the latter a cigar factory and he is the director of the Kiel Arion Band. Three of his children preceded him in death. Besides the four children he leaves 6 grand- children. Mr. Ammann came to Kiel with his wife and three children in 1864. They were an active and happily married pair. With the exception of a few years he has lived here from then on. He was born in the province of Rhine, Germany; served three years as guard in Berlin and there made use of every spare minute to improve his knowledge - especially in music in which he was exceptionally gifted. At this time the Prussian government gave every soldier this educational opportunity without cost. A very intelligent young man, he took advantage of this oppor- tunity, and so it happened that acquired a foundation far above the elementary level. After he had been in Kiel a short time he directed a band, and because of his exceptional tenor voice became an enthusiastic member of the Kiel vocal society. The greatest service rendered by the deceased was the tireless pains he took in his instructions of the members of the youth music group. One can truly say that the quality of the present Kiel Anon Band is largely the result of his efforts, because many of the members were his former pupils. Another quotation from the same source: Mr. Ammann was liberal and tolerant and allowed all of his fellow men to have their own convictions. He was a great friend of nature, raised flowers and bees while he was still strong enough to do so. By trade he was a carpenter and carried on his craft until age compelled him to retire. The life of Mr. Ammann and his family was overall a happy one, and his death is especially painful for Mrs. Ammann (whom he married 54 years previously in Hemmerden, Kreis Reus, Government district Duesseldorf, Germany) since their long life together bound them closely to each other. Yet she and all those he leaves behind may console thmeselves with the knowledge that the deceased leaves a good reputation and lives on in spirit as a truly good man. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. At the open grave the Arion band played in their best manner a l He died March 1, 1913 and was buried in the Kiel Cemetery where the Kiel Anon Band played a last tribute to their former teacher. May he rest in peace next to his daughter Rosa in the Kiel cemetery. His wife died November 1, 1913 and rests beside him. Compiled by Valmer Jack Goltry, June 27, 1983 (Note: Other information states they did not settle in Kiel until 1871 and had lived in the township of Rhine until then. This may be correct rather than the above) ************ Mr. Theodor Ammann Our naturalist friend tended his flowers and bees, as long as he was able. His profession was as a cabinetmaker, and he continued his handwork until his age made him set his tools to rest. The family life of Mr. Theodor Ammann and his family was very happy, and his death is very painful for his wife of nearly 54 years. Mrs. Ammann who was born Miss Gertrud Born in Hemmerden, Kreis Reuss, Regierungsbezirk Dusseldorf, Germany where he lead her to the altar, into a union of such close togetherness. She and the rest of those left behind, want him to be remembered as a good and industrious man of his time and that his spirit lives on. On Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock the burial took place. The Arion-Kapelle (Band) stood around the edge of the open grave, of their highly esteemed master teacher as a final wish for him to rest in peace. Kiel Record — 1913, March 3, 1913
