  AUGUST NITSCHKE, one of the old and honored residents of Appleton, Wisconsin, and a veteran of the Civil war, through which he served with great bravery, has been identified with the commercial interests of Appleton for many years and is now engaged in the grocery business. Mr. Nitschke was born December 13, 1841, at Parchwitz, Silesia, Germany, a son of Ernest and Hermine Nitschke, who came to the United States in 1843, in November of which year they settled in Milwaukee, and there Ernest Nitschke was engaged in shoemaking during the remainder of his life. He had a family of four children: August; Ernestine, who married Mr. C. Trautvetter, of Milwaukee, now a resident of Seattle, Washington; and Mary and William, who are deceased. August Nitschke received his education in the schools of Milwaukee, after which he found employment in the shipyard, and was working there at the time of the outbreak of the Civil war. On April 16, 1861, he enlisted in Company H, First Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and re-enlisted in the 26th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, August 15, 1862. He served with the last-named regiment during the remainder of the war, and was mustered out of the service at Milwaukee. Mr. Nitschke received a wound in the head at Resacca, the scar of which he still bears, and in addition to this bloody battle and numerous skirmishes. and minor engagements he participated in the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain. During his entire service he fought bravely and faithfully, and at the close of hostilities had a war record of which any man might well be proud. In 1865 Mr. Nitschke came to Appleton, and for a few years worked in a furniture store, then forming a partnership with William Peterson in a general store business, and after many years spent therein embarked in his present business, in which he has since continued. He has a well-ordered establishment, handles a full line of staple and fancy groceries, and commands his share of the business in his locality. Mr. Nitschke was married June 18, 1868, to Mary Ostertag, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and they have had a family of seven children, of whom three survive, namely: Oscar, residing in Appleton; and Olivia and Walter, living at home. The family is connected with the Catholic Church, and Mr. Nitschke is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Sons of Herman.
