AbstractGranite Heights [in Marathon County, Wisconsin] derived its name from veins of red granite there. . . . The granite cutters were mostly Swedes. . . . the Swedes brought the skills the granite working, but because of the strong work ethic and ability of the Pommerns to learn new skills, the majority of the workers ended up being Pommern Germans such as Krause, Hoff, Sturm, Laabs, Goetsch, Pagel, Laatsch, Genz, Howard, Woller, Prehn, Maahs, Hackbarth, Luedtke, Raddatz, Ruether, Treu, Schultz, Porath, Beilke, and the list goes on.
