Beer Brewing
Alvin M. Hemrich was born in the town of Alma, Buffalo county, Wisconsin, on the 14th of February, 1870, a son of John [see bio.] and Catherine (Koeppel) Hemrich, both of whom were born in Germany. The father was for many years engaged in the brewing business at Alma, Wisconsin, and he was seventy-three years old when he died in 1896.Alvin passed his boyhood days in Wisconsin and secured his early educational discipline in the public schools. By the age of sixteen he had joined his brother William in the management of the business founded by his father in Alma. When he turned eighteen he traveled to the town of Durand, WI, to work in the brewery of Philip Lorenz.On the 8th of May, 1890, Mr. Hemrich was married to Wilhelmina "Minnie" Rutschow, who was born in Germany, and the daughter of Charles and Wilhelmina (Benecke) Rutschow, both of whom were born in Prussia. His first son, Elmer, was born in Sept. 1890 (see Elmer's biography). According to the Brewers Journal, in January of 1891 he bought out Lorenz. However, he apparently disposed of his interests within the year in order to join the rest of the family in Seattle.
