  ALFRED G. KEUNE, proprietor of the Seymour Flour Mills of Seymour, Wisconsin, and one of the progressive business men of that city, was born January 13, 1871, in Centerville, Manitowoc county, Wisconsin, son of Charles and Caroline (Hacker) Keune, natives of Germany. Fred Keune, the grandfather of Alfred G., came from Germany to the United States after the death of his wife, who bore the maiden name of Bruns. He was a millwright by profession, and being an expert he traveled extensively as a stone dresser, drawing large wages. He was born in 1803 and died at the age of eighty-three years, having been the father of seven children: Gustav, Charles, Henry, August, Mrs. Minnie Duvenick and two daughters still living in Germany. Gustav was killed in 1862 while on skirmish duty during the Civil war. Charles Keune was about twenty-two years of age when he came to the United States in a sailing vessel that required nine weeks to make the passage, and on landing in this country had just enough money to carry him as far as Chicago, the rest of the journey to Manitowoc being made on money which he had secured by pawning a silver watch. He was a miller by trade, and soon found employment at what he then considered princely wages, and by working hard and saving his money was enabled in 1865 to erect a custom mill, with three run of stone, at Centerville, the capacity being thirty barrels. In 1886 this mill was enlarged and the roller system put in, increasing the capacity to sixty barrels, and in 1895 Mr. Keune turned this mill over to his sons, William, Gustave and Alfred G. Later Gustave sold his interest to another brother, August, and thus the firm remained until 1910. In the meantime, in 1897, the sons had built a new mill, with a capacity of 125 barrels. Charles Keune was married at Manitowoc, Wisconsin, to Caroline Hacker, daughter of John Hacker, who came to the United States in 1850, and whose other children were: Lena, who married a Mr. Kolpe; Mrs Luepke of Manitowoc and John and Charles. Charles Keune died in 1903 at the age of sixty-four years, and the death of his wife occurred in 1895, when she was fifty years old. Both were members of the German Lutheran Church, and had these children: Charles, Alfred G., Gustave, William, August, Emma, who married Allen Krause; Ida, who married Adolph Hoops; Elvina, who died at the age of twenty-two years, and Clara and Alma, who are single. Alfred G. Keune came to Seymour in 1908 and purchased from John Bickert the Seymour Flour Mills, a three-story, steam-operated plant with a capacity of sixty barrels, and here he has continued to operate to the present time, manufacturing the well known "Daisy" and "World's Best Rye" brands. Mr. Keune was married in Manitowoc, in 1897, to Mary Mills, born March 4, 1875, daughter of John and Anna (Kassa) Mills, natives of Prussia, Germany, who are now residing at Centerville, Wisconsin. Mr. Mills, who is a veteran of the Civil War, having served with the Fifth Wisconsin Volunteers, Co. A, from 1862 to the close of the war, was one of the first chairman of the town board of Centerville. He and his wife had five children, namely: Albert, Paula, Ada, Olga and Mary, of whom Ada is deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Keune are the parents of four children: Esther, Florence, Marion and Milton, all living at home. The family are attendants of the German Lutheran Church.
