Kuhlmann, Robert P. (30 November 1873 - 1 9??)

ROBERT P. KUHLMANN, a representative business man of Wausau in the shoe line, senior member of the firm of Kuhlmann & Brach, No. 318 Third avenue, has been secretary of the Wausau Commercial Club since its organization in 1910 and has been a resident of Wausau for almost a quarter of a century. He was born on a farm in Washington County, Wis., November 30, 1873, and is a son of John C. and Eva M. (Illiam) Kuhlmann, the former of whom is serving at present as assistant postmaster of this city.  

Robert P. Kuhlmann passed his boyhood and youth on his father's small farm and assisted in the latter's general store. In 1890 the family came to Wausau and at first Mr. Kuhlmann delivered groceries for a local store and afterward became a clerk. In 1895 he entered the employ of the Heinemann Bros., as a clerk in their clothing store and still later worked for Nathan Heinemann, with whom he continued until he went into business for himself, in 1909, with the exception of a period of eighteen months during which he sold shoes on the road. He carries on business according to modern methods and the firm handles only the most reliable goods.  

Mr. Kuhlmann was married in 1895, to Miss Bertha Bentz, a daughter of August Bentz of Wausau, and they have two sons, Edwin and Robert. Mr. Kuhlmann is identified with the Modern Woodmen and with the Beavers.
