    Notes:

    John Bramm was Berlin's first brickmaker, his factory being located on the land on which Zion United Church, Weber Street, was built. He started the factory in 1845, the year in which he came from Germany.

    The bricks for wells, houses and stores were taken to their location by a team of oxen. 500 bricks sold for $3.75. In 1880 Bramm employed six men, their weekly wages totalling $40.

    In 1898 Bramm purchased the Doering steam grist mill on Queen Street South and operated it with his sons. Hundreds of cords of wood were purchased from local farmers for the operation of the mill and brickyard. The Bramm brothers operated the mill until 1907 and it is, in 1972, the Kissner Milling Company.

    Bramm was also a private banker, lending money at interest rates of 6 ½ to 7%.

    __________________________

    John Bramm, the first, came here in the early sixties, and opened a brickyard at 58 West Weber Street. Afterward he owned yards in other parts of the town. Mr. Bramm married Miss Elizabeth Wenzel and was the father of six children: Anna, Henry, John, George, Adam, and Marie Elizabeth. "Betty" was married to P. K. Weber, long city roadmaster. Harry once conducted the American hotel. For many years, John Jr.. and George had a brickyard in Wilmot Street. Next they bought the flour-mill in S. Queen Street, operating it till 1906, when they sold it to Irvin Master. The brothers were noted fishermen and hunters. After the sale of the mill, John lived in retirement. George, four years later, opened a coal-office at 568 S. Queen Street. In 1892 he married Miss Anna (Ash) Huehn, a sister of Christian Huehn, who was accountant for the Breithaupt Leather Co., and who built the Huehn Block in West King Street. Mrs. Bramm has lived at 560 S. Queen Street ever since her marriage. The district east of South Queen Street, between the mill and Schneider Avenue, was then given over to apple orchards and potato patches. Mr. Bramm continued the coal business until his death in 1928. Since then his daughter, Mrs. Kreiner, has managed the office.
