AUGUST LIPPERT
This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin"
by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.189.
August Lippert, a progressive and successful agriculturist of this county,
was born July 10, 1866, in Newton township, where he still resides. His
parents were John and Sophia Lippert, both of whom were natives of
Mecklenburg, Germany, and after coming to the United States settled in
Newton township. Here they purchased a tract of land that was covered with
heavy timber and erected a log cabin, in which the family resided for a
short time. They later built a better home and spent the remainder of their
lives upon this farm, the mother passing away several years later than the
father. In their family were eight children.
August Lippert grew to manhood in Newton township and received his
education in the district schools of his neighborhood. As a lad he worked
on his father’s farm and continued to remain there until 1887, when he
purchased his present home of Louis Kieselhorst. He has made many
improvements on the same and there engages extensively in general farming.
In 1887 Mr. Lippert wedded Miss Minnie Kieselhorst, the daughter of Louis
Kieselhorst, and they have become the parents of two children, Hedwig and
Erna. Mr. Lippert has spent his entire life in Manitowoc county and he has
therefore witnessed many of the changes which have here occurred and the
advancements which have been wrought, bringing it to its present condition
of growth and prosperity. Both he and Mrs. Lippert are of the Lutheran
faith, being members of the German church at Newton. Mr. Lippert is a
prosperous and up-to-date farmer, tilling his fields according to the
latest methods of modern agriculture. In business life he is well known
for his alert and enterprising spirit, and his salient qualities and
characteristics are such as win honor and success.
