Weisbrod, Charles (3 August 1865 – 19??)

CHARLES WEISBROD, a well known business man of Wausau, a member of the firm of Denfield & Weisbrod, painting contractors, with office at No. 307 Forest Street, has been in the painting contracting line since 1891, at which time he formed his partnership with Henry Denfield. He was born in Germany, August 3, 1865, and is a son of Henry and Annie Weisbrod, who came to Marathon County, Wis., in 1883, and now resides on their farm in the town of Hamburg.  

Charles Weisbrod was sixteen years old when his parents moved to Wausau, coming directly from Germany, and when they moved on a farm two years later he remained at Wausau, having started to learn his present business and being interested in the same. Mr. Weisbrod and partner do a large business, giving employment to fifteen men during the busy season, and their trade is constantly on the increase as a result of honest work and promptness in completing contracts.

Mr. Weisbrod married Miss Rosa Hirsch. They are members of the Catholic Church. He belongs to the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin and to the Germania.
