Pape is the popular and efficient manager of the Port Huron Salt Dock Company's interests at Sheboygan, Wisconsin, a position which he has maintained with credit to himself since the beginning of 1900. He is a native of Hanover, Germany, having been born in the year 1839, and is the son of Conrad Pape, who emigrated with his family to Sheboygan in 1848. His father was by profession a shipbuilder. After establishing his home in Sheboygan he continued to live at that place during the remainder of his life. Mr. Pape was married in the city of Rantoul, Illinois, to Miss Lizzie J. Van Arnam, a daughter of Newcomb J. Van Arnam and Martha Allen (Wescott) Van Arnam, both of New York state. The parents lived in New York city, where Mrs. Pape was born, for about ten years and then moved to New Orleans. Louisiana, where the mother passed away in 1851. Mr. Van Arnam and his two children, Lizzie J. and John, then removed with the grandparents, Abraham and Jane Van Arnam, to Sheboygan. In 1852 the father went to California in the wake of the great stream of gold seekers, but returned to Sheboygan in 1857 and remained here until the outbreak of the Civil war in 1861. During the war he spent his time between St. Louis, Missouri; Memphis, Tennessee; and Cincinnati, Ohio; taking contracts for army supplies. The father survived his wife for over forty years, passing away in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, in 1892. To Mr. and Mrs. Pape four children have been born: George N., of Sheboygan; Mattie W., the wife of Peter Reiss; Jennie, the wife of Arthur Hayssen; and Carrie, the wife of Edwin Imig. The three last named are also residents of Sheboygan. Note: Abraham is enumerated in Sheboygan in 1860 living with his daughter Sarah and her family. Saint John stayed in Illinois and married Lilly Irwin. On the first known ancestors list Newcomb is the N with a daughter Elizabeth and son John.
