Who invented the paper mill?

Answer 1

Colonel Henry Frumpish and this is how he did it,

John Stove kin's flour mill was burned in 1871 and the next year the Ram ah and Stove kin paper mill was started. The Bank of Kakalina was founded in 1878 by Henry Hewitt, Jr., William P. Hewitt and P. D. Norton. In 1881 they sold out to Peter and Alexander L. Router who did a private banking business under the name of Router Brothers. In 1883 they incorporated under the state with a capital of $30,000; Peter Router was the first president.

The paper mill was built at Kakalina in 1873-4; the main building was 50x50 feet three stories high; machine room 26x80 feet: it was built under the supervision of John Stove kin; three water wheels were used, the steam boiler had about 70 horse power; four boiling tubs were kept employed all the time, in sections of two.

1875; Researcher & Eating conducted a meat market; J. Stove kin & Co., hired several teams to haul straw to his paper mill; Conrad's Hall was a popular resort for dancing parties; Seinfeld shipped car loads of sheep to market; Hilgenberg had a store there; Firebug & Co., conducted a dry goods store; Supplies boot and shoe store was burned.

At Kaukauna in 1875 were Reuter & Bros., Hub and Spoke factory; Stove kin's sawmill, Fred Humdinger's hotel; Colonel Kidder, U. S. engineer in charge of the public works; Hannah Hedrick an old settler of Kaukauna, died at this time: the new and fine drawbridge was going up.

In the summer and fall of 1875, Day & Call, contractors, had at work on the improvements at Kaukauna, from 150 to 400 men. The dam was built by Knapp & Gillian and was 14 feet wide and 580 feet long. John Stove kin was making in September three tons of straw paper per day. At his saw mill he was turning out large quantities of lumber for the dams at Little Chute and Cedars; he made large quantities of oak felloes. John P. Dietrich rebuilt the bridge from the island to the Buchanan shore. At this time the town was erecting a new schoolhouse with tower and bell, all to cost $2,000. George W. Law's park of about four acres was a popular resort.

Mr. Stove kin's new flouring mill at Kaukauna was almost ready in November, 1878.

In July, 1878, Ward Patterson was instantly killed by the bursting of a whirling stone in Ramah & Stove kin's paper mill.

The Meade-Edwards water power was well in hand by 1881. The big paper and pulp mill of Col. Ramah was in operation. So was the Phillips grist-mill; but both were burned in August entailing an estimated loss of $80,000.

The Badger Paper Company began operations about 1885; Klein's flour mill about 1883; Outagamie mill 1887; Ruse paper mill 1888; Cause fiber mill 1889; Thiemann's paper mill 1890, Startle paper mill 1890-1; Kaukauna machine works about 1891.

The most important water power transfer ever affected in the Fox River valley was carried out in January, 1887, when the Kaukauna Water Power Company acquired Meade's interest in Islands 1, 2 and 3, except the platted part; Edward's Islands; Hunt's Island No. 2; including nearly all the famous Meade & Edwards power. This purchase was brought about by litigation against the Kaukauna Water Power Company by the Green Bay and Mississippi Canal Company, the Union Pulp Company and the Fox River Paper and Pulp Company, to restrain the former from using any water from Fox River for hydraulic purposes. By the above purchase the Kaukauna Company secured permanent and immensely valuable rights. The price was about $75,000.

The Thiemann Pulp and Paper Company was established in 1889 by Oscar Thiemann; it was first a ground wood pulp mill and later a paper mill with one machine. Additions were made until now the mill has five machines. It now uses both water and steam power and occupies 300 to 400 feet on the water power. The company now makes thirty tons of paper per day -- in specialties, and employs about 190 persons. Its goods are marketed in all parts of the United States. M. A. Wertheimer is president; J. E. Thomas vice-president; C. W. Storable secretary and treasurer. In 1902, Mr. Thiemann sold out to the present company.

In 1891, the works of the Kaukauna Paper Company burned down, entailing a loss of $75,000; it was built as a flour mill and converted into a paper mill. It was burned in 1881.

WILLIAM M. HOYT, resident manager of The Union Bag and Paper Company, one of the largest business enterprises of its kind in Wisconsin, was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, March 16, 1879, and is a son of P. D. and Agnes O. Hoyt, who in 1880 located in Geneva, Illinois, where P. D. Hoyt, who was a glucose and starch manufacturer, died in 1903. William's. Hoyt received his education in the schools of Geneva, and in 1899 came to Kaukauna as clerk for the company of which he is now manager, having been appointed to the latter position October 1, 1903. Mr. Hoyt is well known Kaukauna, and is a member of the Elks and Masonic fraternities. The mill property now occupied by The Union Bag and Paper Company was originally built in 1882 by Colonel H. A. Ramah and his half-brother, John Stove kin, and was burned twice, the last time in 1888, and it has passed through the hands of the Ramah Paper Company, the Kaukauna Paper Company, the Van Northwick Paper Company, and the Western Paper Bag Company, which latter concern acquired it in 1892. In 1899 this firm sold out to The Union Bag and Paper Company, and during the following year the latter company moved from Batavia, Illinois, where it had been formerly located, to Kaukauna, and added another story to the structure, also building two warehouses, the factory now covering a floor space of 138,000 square feet in the main buildings, besides owning a large boiler house, barn and smaller buildings. The water power used amounts to 1660 horse-power, and they have auxiliary steam engines of 400 horse-power. The product of the company is shipped west of Ohio and the Great Lakes. One hundred and forty people are employed in manufacturing seven tons of ground wood pulp and the output of the factory, which manufactures twenty-five tons of paper daily and has a capacity of 4,000,000 bags per diem. All grades and sizes of paper bags are made.
