Werner Trimborn, 50, born in Germany, Occupation: Teaming*
Catherine, 38, born in Germany
August, 17, ", occupation: Teaming
Leonard**, 16, "
Helena, 12, ", attended school within last year
---------------------
*Teaming is my best guess at what was given for occupation; it probablyhas something to do with the teams of horses used to pull the lime andlumber that was sold from the farm.
**Leonard's name looked anything like L-E-O-N-A-R-D. My first impressionwas that the name stated with a "Q." The last four letters looked like"hurt" to me and "hust" to Cheryl.
Note: Werner's (1802) and August's (1831) ages don't match DOBs in file.

Werner TrimbornGerman pioneers mourn the death of another of their now narrow circle.Werner Trimborn died at 3 o’clock yesterday morning at the advanced ageof 77 years, after an illness since May last.
The deceased was born in Geig, circuit of Dueren, Prussia, in 1802, andemigrated to America in 1847, arriving in Milwaukee on the 24th of Julyin that year, steaming up the lake in company with the parents of P. V.Duester. Not long after his settlement here, he built lime-kilns in thetown of Greenfield and conducted the manufacture so assiduously that heachieved a competence, his son sharing the business with him when ageprevented him from yielding the industry the care it required.
The deceased pioneer, whose wife had long preceded him to the home whenceno traveler ever returns, leaves two sons, August and Leonard, the latterthe present alderman for the First Ward, and a daughter, Mrs. ConradMizer. His funeral will be from his late home at 673 East Water Street,at half-past 7 o’clock on Friday morning.
