E. B. WIGGERT, harness maker, Beaver Dam [Dodge County, Wisconsin], was born 
in Germany on 05 November 1844, and came to Wisconsin in November of 1865,

Germany, and served his apprenticeship with Otto OHLER of La Crosse

journeyman with Mr. John CLARK, and afterward at Rio [Columbia County, 
Wisconsin], a short time, and then returned to Beaver Dam and again worked 
for Mr. CLARK. In 1870 he started the harness business on his own account, 
and has continued the same up to the present writing.

On 02 January 1874 E. B. WIGGERT was married to Miss Annie WEIMER of 
Westford, Dodge County, Wisconsin. He has two children living: Cecelia and 
Paulina. [Unless the text contains a typo, the use of "he" and not "they" in 
the preceding sentence signals that E. B. and Annie (WEIMER) WIGGERT may not 
have been the parents of both children. Submitter did not access birth 
records of Cecilia and Pauline to determine names of parents.] Mr. and Mrs. 
[E. B.] WIGGERT are members of the Catholic Church.
