Kurth, Frank (2 February 1874, - 19??)

FRANK KURTH, who is one of the leading representatives of the hardware line, at Wausau, continues a business which he established in June, 1894, in association with his father, Gotheb Kurth, under the firm name of G. Kurth & Son, the senior member of the firm retiring in 1908. Mr. Kurth was born at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, February 2, 1874, and is a son of Gotheb and Lena Kurth, who still live in this city.  

Frank Kurth attended the public schools at Wausau and his first experience in business was in a hardware store. Afterward, for several years, he was in the employ of the Montgomery Hardware Company, and then, as stated above, embarked in business for himself. He carries a complete stock of hardware and cutlery, and a business house that has prospered continuously for eighteen years may be justly named as a representative one.

In 1902 Mr. Kurth was married to Miss Anna Zastrow, of this city, and they have one son, Walter. They are members of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church. Mr. Kurth is considered a sound, reliable business man and his opinions as a citizen carry weight.
