From the record
Summary
Type: Historical production brewery. Ownership as recorded: HISTORICAL. WHS verifies 1857 Bellevue partnership and 1949 closure, but historical sources contain succession/death-date issues that should stay claim-specific. Caroline's continuation of the brewery is preserved without guessing exact transfer mechanics. [Wisconsin Pass 14]
A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.
Ownership & corporate history
- Succeeded by Caroline Hochgreve1877
Partly settledCurrent evidence supports this, but the record is not fully resolved.
What the sources say
Current WHS narrative explicitly dates August's death to 1877 and says Caroline continued operations, later aided by Adolph. Probate/legal mechanics remain open and older chronology conflicts are retained.
Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.
