| Abstract | J. H. A. (John Henry A.) Lacher was the son of Martin and Catherine Lacher, who emigrated from the German Lorraine to America in 1848. His parents first spent two years in New Orleans before living on a farm near Cincinnati where J. H. A. was born. While Lacher made a living as a salesman, upon retirement he focused his energies on an interest in history. He was married to Louise Krumrey of Plymouth, Wisconsin; she was the daughter of German Forty-Eighter Karl Krumrey, a pioneer in Sheboygan County. They lived for many years in Waukesha. Lacher developed a keen interest in the contributions of German-speaking immigrants to America, and authored The German Element in Wisconsin (Milwaukee: Steuben Society of America, 1925). |
| Notes | This eulogy was read by Judge Baensch at the annual meeting of the State Historical Society, October 21, 1937. |
