  ALBERT VOECKS, secretary of the Aid Association for Lutherans, is one of the wellknown citizens of Appleton. He was born in Pomerania, Germany, July 29, 1867, a son of August and Marie (Wallman) Voecks, who brought their family to America, in 1882, locating in Appleton, where Mr. Voecks was engaged in wagon making until his death in 1907, his wife having passed away twenty years before. Both were members of the Lutheran Church, of which Mr. Voecks was a trustee for many years. They had a family of six children, of whom three came to the United States: Albert; Marie, who died in 1889; and Minnie, the wife of William Henning of Appleton. Albert Voecks attended the public schools of Appleton, and later went to night school while working in a printing office. He continued to be employed as a printer until 1902, when with G. D. Ziegler he organized the Aid Association for Lutherans, an insurance association for members of the Lutheran Church, which started with 603 members in 1903, with money on hand aggregating $2,291.98, and on March 21, 1911, showed a statement of 6,454 members and cash on hand $212,102.55. This association was organized to pay death and sickness benefits, and now operates in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois. On October 4, 1899, Mr. Voecks was married to Caroline Goetz, of Cadott, Wisconsin, and they have five children: Herbert, Walter, Victor, Marie and Carl. The family is connected with the Lutheran Church, and Mr. Voecks is president of the Lutheran congregation .
