Originally published in 1900 |
|
WALTER W. WIEDERMANN has always resided in Hoboken, Hudson
COunty, N.J., where he was born July 8, 1875. His parents, Louis and Rose
(Hess) Wiedermann, were both natives of Germany, and in 1852 left the
Fatherland and came to this country, settling in Hoboken. Louis Wiedermann
is now one of the oldest living residents of that city. He was actively
and successfully engaged in the grocery business for thirty-seven years,
his establishment on the corner of Washington and Ninth Streets, Hoboken,
widely known as Wiedermann's Mammoth Grocery House, being one of
the largest and most complete in the county. Later it was conducted by
his son, Louis Wiedermann, Jr., who died in 1889, after which the father
sold out and retired from active business.
Walter W. Wiedermann is the only surviving son of Louis Wiedermann, Sr., and Rose Hess, and although but twenty-five years of age has attained an honorable position in business. He received an academic and public school education, and after a course at the Jersey City Business College entered the employ of Stein & Weidner, real estate and insurance agents at No. 504 Washington Street, Hoboken. This was in 1890. He remained with them four years, laying the foundation upon which he has built a successful career, and gaining a broad and accurate knowledge of business in general and of real estate and insurance affairs in particular. In 1894 Mr. Wiedermann formed a partnership with Charles von Broock under the style of the Metropolitan Dairy Company, a name which indicates the character of their business. Subsequently he started the Palace Hotel in Hoboken, but in 1898 returned to the real estate and insurance business, purchasing the establishment and interests formerly conducted by J. W. Bremerman, Allison Mather, and Frank Anderson, which he still conducts. Mr. Wiedermann has brought to his various business enterprises ability, sound judgment, and native energy, and by integrity of character and faithful attention to duty has achieved success. He is Secretary of the Mutual Home and Savings Association of Hoboken, and prominently identified with the best interests of his city and county. He is also a member of the Masonic fraternity. the Improved and Benevolent Order of Elks, and the Foresters of America, and a public spirited, progressive citizen.
