The Brehm Family

Researched by Lani Barteltt

 

Ferdinand  & (unknown first name) Brehm were married in Colby, Wi by Justice W. M. Root on Sept 6,1879. She was born in Colby, Wi and he was born in the town of Wilson. After their marriage the couple moved to Marathon Co, after which they returned to Clark Co where they operated a farm in the town of Wilson.

 

They lived in that township until about 1914 when they retired and they then  moved to the Sheboygan area. On Sept 6,1929 they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary with their children and other family and friends.  The color scheme was deep yellow and gold with lovely seasonal flowers. Mr. & Mrs. Brehm during the day and evening received several lovely gifts of gold and many congratulations.  The celebration was held at the Association of Commerce, in Sheboygan, Wisconsin  Mr. & Mrs. Ferdinand Brehm lived at 2314 South Seventh St in Sheboygan at the time of their anniversary in 1929.

 

Guests at the anniversary included: Mr. & Mrs. (Anna) Alvin Brehm, Colby, Wisconsin: Mr. & Mrs Otto Meves and sons,Wallace, Melvin,and Donald of Colby, Wi: Mr. & Mrs. Hobart Kelly of Madison, Wi: Mr. & Mrs. Henry Huber and daughter, Lilian of Colby, Wi: Jess Brehm of Portland,Oregon: Mr & Mrs Peter De Witt, son Allen and daughter Doris of the town of Wilson: Mr & Mrs Victor Brehm and daughter, Carol and Mr. & Mrs. Richard Brehm of Sheboygan, Rt 4: and G.V. McLellan of Colby, Wisconsin

 

They had six children: Alvin Brehm,Colby Wi ; Mrs Otto H Meves, Colby, Wi; Mrs. Henry Huber, Colby, Wi; Jess Brehm, Portland, Oregon; Mrs. Peter De Witt of Sheboygan, Rt 4: and Victor Brehm, Sheboygan, Rt 5.

 

At the time of their anniversary both Mr. & Mrs. Brehm were in good health and he

spent much of his time working in the garden of their home and she still did all of

her housework.

 

I could find no further information on Henry Huber and his wife,(name unknown)(daughter of the Ferdinand Brehms') or their daughter,Lillian Huber in Clark Co,Wisconsin

 

I could find no further information on Jess Brehm,Portland Oregon but did find

this record for the Vietnam War Memorial Wall in Washington,D.C.

Perhaps he is a grandson of Jess Brehm.

Lani's note/Feb 2006

 

I'm not sure if All the Brehms' listed  in the cemeteries in Sheboygan, Colby,a nd Abbotsford are descendants of Ferdinand Brehm and his wife. There may have been several families in both Sheboygan and  Clark Co., Wi named Brehm but, I have listed the materials I have found on the internet.While searching on the internet I found several Brehm forum sites stating that some Brehms came from

Russia while other came from Germany.
