Biography:
AUGUST KNUPPEL, president of the Appleton Lumber and Fuel Company, one of this city's large contracting firms, and president of the Fox River Marble, Granite and Cut Stone Works, was born October 4, 1857, in Germany, a son of Henry and Josephine Knuppel, both of whom spent their lives in the Fatherland. August A. Knuppel gained his education in the schools of his native country and took a course in a school of architecture at Hoexter on the banks of the River Weser, after which he learned the trade of builder. He came to the United States in 1879 and after spending one month in Philadelphia and six months in Milwaukee, worked at his trade at various places until 1881, when he came to Appleton. In 1882 he entered the contracting business and he still follows that occupation. In 1900 Mr. Knuppel organized the Appleton Lumber & Fuel Company, and in 1904 he organized the Fox River Marble, Granite and Cut Stone Works. Mr. Knuppel was the builder of the Congregational Church, the Lincoln School, the Lincoln Mill of the Fox River Paper Company, the Walter brewery, the Brokaw mill at Wausau, Wisconsin, and numerous bank and hotel buildings in and out of Outagamie county. Since 1909 he has engaged exclusively in public improvement contracts and has constructed several miles of local pavement. In 1911, after the adoption of the commission form of municipal government, Mr. Knuppel was a candidate for the office of mayor. He was nominated at the primaries but lost the final election by the narrow margin of two votes. In 1881 Mr. Knuppel was united in marriage with Adeline Machmueller, daughter of Gottfried Machmueller, of Mayville, Wisconsin. Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Knuppel, namely: Eugenia, who married George R. Wettengel, an insurance man of Appleton; Arnold, a graduate of the academic class of 1908 at the University of Wisconsin, in business with his father; and Amanda, residing at home, who is studying with the view of becoming a teacher of physical culture.
