  LEWIS MENNING, who is the owner of the old Menning homestead farm in Greenville township, and secretary of the Twin Hickory Cheese Factory, a well-known business industry of this section, was born May 5, 1879, on the farm which he is now cultivating, and is a son of Christ and Sophia (Sough) Menning. Christ Menning was born in Germany and came to the United States when a young man, first locating in New York State for about ten years and then coming west to Wisconsin and settling in Greenville township, where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits until his retirement. He is now living on North Division street, Appleton. He became a well-known and successful farmer and was prominent in educational affairs in his township, serving for a number of years as a member of the school board. Lewis Menning was one of a family of three children and was educated in the district schools of this neighborhood, also spending three and one-half years in the Appleton schools. As a boy and young man he worked on the old homestead, and at the time of his father's retirement he took charge of the farm, renting it until 1911, when he became owner by purchase. He engages in general farming and dairy work, and has been successful in his ventures, having improved his property until it is one of the very valuable ones of this locality. He is also interested in the Twin Hickory Cheese Factory, and is at present secretary of this concern, which has a large output and the product of which meets with a ready sale in the Appleton markets. On April 29, 1908, Mr. Menning was married to Miss Ella Grutzmacher; daughter of Carl Grutzmacher, of Greenville township. She was born at Greenville, Wisconsin, and has been the mother of two children: Orrin, born April 13, 1909, died April 19, 1909, and Percy, born November 19, 1910.
