FERDINAND WITTIG, a prosperous general merchant of New Denmark township, Brown county, was born October 20, 1851, in Denmark, son of Henry C. and Maren (Peterson) Wittig, the former of whom was a farmer, and also followed his trade, that of cooper, to some extent. His family consisted of seven children, namely: Henry C, Mary, Peter F. , Ferdinand, Anna, Jacobine, and Jacob. Ferdinand Wittig received a good common-school education in his native land, and li\ed with his parents until he reached his majority, at which time he decided to emigrate to and try his fortune in America. Proceeding to Liverpool, England, he embarked from that port in an American-bound vessel and landed in New York after a voyage of thirteen days, immediately continuing his journey westward to Wisconsin, his destination being in New Denmark township. Brown county, where his aunt, Mrs. Hans Olsen, was living. He reached New Denmark by way of Green Bay, and commenced working on his aunt's farm, remaining there, however, but six months, at the end of which time he migrated to Negaunee, Mich., where he remained two months. From there he went to Marquette, Mich., thence to Minneapolis, Minn., whence, after a sojourn of two months, he returned to New Denmark, and here continued a year. He ne.xt worked six months in the lumber regions of Manistee, Mich., and then again returned to New Denmark township, where he has ever since resided.
On June 28, 1877. Mr. Wittig was united in marriage with Mrs. Catherine (Buckman) Lange, a widow, daughter of Ahrend S. and Henrietta (Bartels) Buckman, residents of New Denmark township. She was born June 28, 1844, in Germany, and came to America with her parents, remaining at home until her marriage. May 17, 1862, with August Lange. At the time of his marriage Mr. Lange owned eighty acres of wild land (on which there were about four acres cleared), whereon they moved, living in a one-room log house until a more comfortable dwelling could be built. They were hard-working and industrious, and by their united efforts succeeded in clearing and improving their tract, converting it from a wilderness to a productive farm. Their marriage was blessed with five children, viz. : Herman, Ahrend, Bernard, Henrietta, and Frederick, all of whom are living but Ahrend. Mr. Lange was called from earth September 14, 1872, and his widow continued to manage the affairs of the place alone for five years, or until her marriage to Mr. Wittig. After a residence of five years on the farm Mr. Wittig erected his present store in New Denmark township, and embarked in the general mercantile and saloon business, in which he has since been successfully engaged, doing a thriving trade; from time to time, owing to the tiemands of his increasing business, he has been obliged to enlarge the stock, and now carries a large assortment of general merchandise. In politics he is a Republican, but, though interested in the success of his party, takes no active part in political affairs, his business receiving his undivided attention. In religious faith he and his wife are members of the Lutheran Church. To their union have been born three children: Henry, Martha and Diederich.
