Originally published in 1900 |
|
FREDERICK J. BERGMANN, Jr.
, of Weehawken, is the son of Frederick
J. Bergmann, Sr., and Gertrude Zeigeler, and a grandson of John
Bergmnann, all natives of Germany, his father being born in Bavaria and
his mother in Frankfort. The revolutionary events of 1848 drove his parents,
with a large number of other German patriots, to America, to seek
the home and freedom which the Fatherland denied them. Arriving in
the United States in that year, they settled on Staten Island, N. Y., where
the subject of this sketch was born May 5, 1870. Soon afterward they removed
to Weehawken, N. J. Here Mr. Bergmann has since resided. Obtaining his education in the Weehawken public schools, he learned the trade of painter and decorator, which he still follows in that town, having established himself in business in 1891. He is one of the leading painters and decorators in North Hudson County, and by industry, perseverance, and honest endeavor has achieved success. His work bears evidence of artistic taste and originality. While devoting himself assiduously to his profession Mr. Bergmann has not neglected the duties of a public spirited, patriotic citizen, but has served his town in various capacities. For three years he was a member of the Weehawken Board of Education and rendered efficient service. As a member of the Fire Department he has also contributed materially to the progress of the town. He is a member of the Odd Fellows fraternity, of the Foresters of America, and of the Weehawken Cyclers. In politics he is a Republican and in religion a Presbyterian, and throughout the community is highly respected and esteemed. Mr. Bergmann married Miss Augusta Kleinker. They have one daughter, and reside on the corner of Hudson Avenue and Angelique Street, Weehawken Heights.
