Arnold A. & Esther G. Hoppa, Weston, Clark Co., WI

Gus Voight and brother-in-law, Ernest Fisher at the Spokeville Cheese Factory: Voight later worked as a cheese maker at the Pelsdorf Cheese Factory (later Schlinsog's) and Catlin Corner's Cheese Factory. Two of his brothers, Adolph and Carl, were also licensed cheese makers. Adolph owned and operated the Globe Factory on County "G", now the building of Hoppa's Corner Bar; the Day Corners Factory, south of Neillsville on Hwy 95 and now Jeff's Roadside; the Star Factory, now Lynn Cheese Factory.

The above photo, taken in 1908, was the Adolph Voigt Cheese Factory, located at N5903 County Highway G, northwest of Neillsville. Arnold Hoppa purchased the business in 1929, making cheese and named it the "Clark County Central Cheese Factory" In 1940 he sold the vats and remodeled the building into a tavern. Sometime later, the business was taken over by Arnold's son, David, until 1988 when the business was sold to the present owners, Dave and Donna McDonald. (Photo courtesy of Gordon Thoma.)
