William A Wieboldt, a German immigrant, was born March 8, 1857 on a farm in Altenbruch, Cuxhaven, Germany. William’s aunt and uncle lived in Chicago. They came to visit him as a child, saw how smart he was, and realized there was no future for him in Germany. When William was 14, it was decided he would move to the U.S to stay with his aunt and uncle, and work in their dry goods store.
