From "History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin", 1881, p. 761. City of La Crosse A. HIRSHHEIMER, proprietor La Crosse plow works, Third street; was born near Hulbron, Wurtemberg, Aug. 14, 1840; came to America at the age of 10, in 1850. He lived for six years in Blairsville, Indiana Co., Penn.; moved to La Crosse April 17, 1856, where he was engaged in his father's store during the summers of 1856 and 1857. He next was employed in the mill built by his father, being the second saw and grist mill erected in La Crosse. This was burned in the spring of 1860, after which he engaged in steamboating, and built and run a small steamer called the Eclispe, on Root River, until 1863, when he began to work at his present business, as narrated above. He was married, June 27, 1869, to Miss Dora Fox, and has a family of four children. Mr. H. is still in the prime of life, and to all appearances good for a score of years of active, valuable business life. [I am not related to this family and have no further information. I'm posting this as a service and hope it helps!]
