William Aulmann
AULMANN, WILLIAM - Of Aulmann's brewery, born near Burlington, Iowa, April 19, 1852. The enterprise with which Mr. A. is connected was established by his father in 1866, and is probably one of the largest breweries in this portion of the State. His father came to the United States from Germany when he was twenty-seven years of age. At the outbreak of the war between the United States and Mexico he volunteered his services, and served until discharged on account of wounds. In 1866 he removed from Burlington to Des Moines and became extensively engaged in the brewing business, which he followed until his demise, December 31, 1874.
