Fred (Marriedadison)
Fred Sr. came to U.S. in 1866 with parents, settling in Sheboygan County; worked
in Chicago a few years when it was rebuilding from great fire.
From 1947 obituary: Mr. and Mrs. Distelhorst came to this community in December
1886, where he operated a creamery and general store on the west edge of the
village, near the location of the present George Putnam residence. The creamery
later was developed into the first cheese factory in this area.
In 1892 he built a two-story brick structure, which later burned, on the corner
where the Neal Smith ski factory now stands (1947). He operated a store at that
location until 1908 when he sold the building to the Gipp family and George
Sprague took over the store.
The Distelhorst family then moved to the farm (later owned by Henry Mertens and
Son) on the north edge of the village. They sold the farm to Eric Beisner in
1927, who in turn sold the place, except the residence, to Mertens. The farm was
a wooded tract at the time Mr. Distelhorst purchased it, and he and his family
cleared it and erected the buildings.
During the years that he was developing the farm, Mr. Distelhorst worked as a
carpenter and building contractor. He built the structure which now houses the
Paulson Garage, which at that time was used as a school building. He also
constructed the present village hall and the Peace Evangelical and Reformed
church edifice in the village and numerous farmstead buildings in the
surrounding community.
From Mrs. Distelhorst's obituary: Couple lived on the Hiram Schmidt farm, where
Fred Distelhorst was foreman, until December 1886 when they moved to Dorchester.
Fred Distelhorst started the Dorchester Creamery on the site of Laabs' Cheese
Factory. At the same time, he opened a general store on Main Street. In 1892 the
store was moved to the corner where Kraut's Funeral Home was later located.
January 1, 1908 he sold the store and moved for a farm (occupied by Herman Holtz
in 1942).
