My Genealogy Hound

LOUIS KATTINE, brewer, Arnheim, was born in Arnheim January 1, 1854. His father, Conrad Kattine, was a native of Germany, and emigrated to America many years ago, and when Franklin Township was comparatively young. He was a pioneer brewer of Franklin Township, and continued the brewing business twenty-two years. Having gained a competency, he retired from active business, and now resides on his farm of eighty-five acres, near Arnheim. He married for his second wife Caroline Steinman. Of the five children by his first wife, four are living; and the three children by his second wife are all living. The mother of our subject died when he was about five years of age, and he was reared mostly by his step-mother. He obtained the benefits of a fair education, and while yet young learned the brewing trade with his father, and afterward worked at Maysville, Mason Co., Ky., for two or three years. He then established a brewery at Higginsport, which he ran one year with fair success. His next operation in this line was to rent his father’s brewery for three years. Subsequently, in company with F. Berry, he erected the brewery at Arnheim (in 1877), and the firm of Kattine & Co. did business until 1879, when Mr. Kattine purchased his partner’s interest, and operated it until the spring of 1882. Mr. Kattine enlisted under the banners of the Democratic party. He was married, in 1876, to Melissa Hockman, a native of Green Township, Brown Co., Ohio. They have four children — Amy Bertha, Cora Matilda, Charles Edward and Annie Leonia. Mr. Kattine and wife are members of the Protestant Evangelical Lutheran Church of Arnheim.
