Louis Griewisch is prominently identified with the industrial interests of Milwaukee, as president, treasurer, and manager of the Bayley Heating Company, of which he was the organizer and with which he has been connected since its founding, in 1893. He was born in the city of Milwaukee on Dec. 1 1857, the son of Frederick and Wilhelmina (Wascher) Griewisch, both of whom were natives of Germany, the father being born in 1824, and the mother in 1834. These parents immigrated to America iin 1853, were married in the city of New York and remained there until 1855, when they continued their journey westward and located in Milwaukee. The father engaged in the business of calcimining and followed that occupation for years, his death occurring in Milwaukee in 1903, and his wife passed away in 1899. Both were faithful members of the Lutheran church. They became the parents of fourteen children, only two of whom are now living. Louis Griewisch received his education in the ppublic schools of the Ninth ward of Milwaukee, being one of the first pupils in that school after its establishment, and as a boy he worked at various occupations, finally serving an apprenticeship at cabinet-making. At the age of eighteen years he went to Ableman, Wis., and two years later engaged in the lumber business at that place. He continued thus engaged until 1879, when he disposed of his lumbering interests and returned to Milwaukee, where he learned the trade of a steam-fitttter and for the ensuing thirteen years was in the employ of the Kruse & Barker Heating Company. In 1893 he organized the Bayley Heating Company, and in the triple capacity of president, treasurer, and managed, has built up a fine business, which is recognized as one of the important concerns of the Cream City. He is also interested to considerable extent in mining, and the successes which he has attained he the business world is a fine commentary upon the possibilities in America, when opportunities are seen and improved. Mr. Griewisch was married on March 10, 1883, to Miss Martha Rahn, a native of Germany, born Sept. 23, 1857, and the daughter of Carl and Henrietta Rahn, who migrated to America and settled in Milwaukee in 1874, and there spent the remainder of their lives, both dying in 1906 within two months of each other, he at the age of eighty-three and she at seventy-four years. They were the parents of ten children, .of whom four daughters and one son are liiving. To. Mr. and Mrs. Griewisch there have been born three children: Hedwig, born Dec. 9, 1883; Alfred, born Aug. 13, 1886 now employed with his father, and Elsie, born Dec. 14, 1890. Mr. Griewisch is a Republican in his political views and his religious affiliations are with the Lutheran church. Fraternally he has membership in the Ancient Order of Druids, and he is also a member of the Builders' Club, having been president of the same for two years and helped to construct the building. He. stands high in the esteem of a wide acquaintanceship in the city of Milwaukee, and all pay tribute to the moral worth which has been exemplified in his successful and industrious career.

Note: Ableman, Wisconsin is located in Sauk County, about 7 miles west of Baraboo.
