  GUSTAVE HENRY FEURIG, deceased, was born June 5, 1843, in Jamaica, South America, a son of Rev. Gustave Rudolph Seigmund and Agnes Justina (Gruhl) Feurig, natives of Bethelsdorf, Saxony, Germany, whose other children were: Bertha, who died in a South American mission; Oscar; Ernestina; and Emma, who married William Michelstetter, president of the Seymour State Bank. Gustave Henry Feurig secured his early education in Nieskey, Germany, where he learned the trade of coppersmith at the factory of his uncle, later becoming foreman. In this connection he traveled extensively in Germany and Russia, and in 1871 he came to the United States, stopping first at either Egg Harbor or Hope, Indiana, from whence he removed to Cincinnati, Ohio. He then went to Watertown, Wisconsin, where his parents lived at that time, but shortly afterward went to Milwaukee and added to his experience by learning the tinner's trade, and in 1876 came to Seymour, where he engaged in the hardware business with William Michelstetter. There was also a branch store at Blackcreek, Wisconsin, which was conducted by another partner, Carl Trinkler, whose interests were purchased in 1882, and in 1887 Mr. Feurig became sole proprietor of the business which he conducted until his death, March 12, 1907. Mr. Feurig was a stanch member of the Moravian Church, and the family is still connected with that denomination, attending services at Green Bay. Mr. Feurig was married October 1, 1876, to Carolina Henrietta Ottilie Scheller, who was born at Green Bay, Wisconsin, September 8, 1857, daughter of Albert and Louisa (Moeller) Scheller, natives of Thurenger, Germany, the former of whom came to, the United States in 1846 on a steamship, and the latter two years later in a sailing vessel which took twelve weeks to accomplish the trip. They were married in Green Bay, August 28, 1851, and there Mr. Scheller established himself in the clothing business, which he continued to carry on until his death, November 9, 1861, aged thirty-four years. His widow, who is still living and will be eighty-three years old, June, 1912, was a daughter of Henry Jones and Margaret Christina (Krause) Moeller, natives of Germany, who settled in Green Bay, Wisconsin, at an early day. Mr. Moeller was a cabinetmaker in his native country, but after coming to the United States he engaged in farming. He died in 1862. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Feurig, namely: Agnes Leola, born June 16, 1878, who married Don Carlos Clarke, proprietor of the Hotel Williams, Macomb, Illinois; Gertrude Alma, born October 16, 1881, who married Halder Melvin Hansen, who does office work for the Boston Montana Smelter Works at Great Falls, Montana, and they have one child, Melvin Feurig, born March 8, 1909; Edna Amanda, born March 2, 1885, who lives at home, and Claude M., born March 12, 1887.
