LAMMERS
Gerhard Lammers (1885-1935) was born at Haqelgreen,* Wisconsin. At the age of twelve he came to a farm east of Breda with his parents. As a young man he worked as a farmhand and then operated a dray business in Breda. He also owned and operated a saloon and later a pool hall in the building now known as the Corner Casino. Mr. Lammers was a director of the Breda Savings Bank for nearly thirty years, from 1906 until his death. His wife was Josephine Schroeder and they were the parents of ten children, nine sons and one daughter, two of whom died in infancy. Three sons, Joe, Henry, and Gerhard are deceased. Surviving children are: Mrs. Mayme Heiman, Tony, Albert, William and Herman. *Likely this is Hazel Green, in Grant County, WI.
