Dora is the sister of Herman in the following article.
Herman C. Stoll has been identified with the business interests of Kiel for
eighteen years, as local representative of the K. Schreier Brewing Company.
He has passed his entire life in Manitowoc county, and is a native of 
Schleswig township, his birth having occurred there on the 25th of February,
1870. His father, Henry Stoll, was born in Saxe-Gotha, Germany, whence he
emigrated with his parents, Fred and Martha (Keppler) Stoll, in 1849, to the
United States. They first located in Pennsylvania, where the father engaged
in farming. Later they removed to Sheboygan county, Wisconsin, and he 
continued his agricultural pursuits in Meeme township. He subsequently
withdrew from farming, however, and purchased a sawmill at Rockville, this
state, which he operated under the name of Stoll & Son until his death. He
was one of the pioneers of Manitowoc county, and lived to attain the
venerable age of eighty years. Henry Stoll, who is now living retired in
Holstein, Calumet county, this state, at the age of seventy years, was
only a child when he accompanied his parents to America. Upon attaining
manhood he engaged in the lumber and milling business in Wisconsin, meeting
with very good success in the development of his interests. For his wife he
chose Miss Wilhelmina Wagner, a daughter of Fred Wagner, one of the pioneer
settlers of Sheboygan county. The mother is now deceased, having passed
away in 1895, at the age of fifty-one years. Four children were born to 
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stoll as follows: Ferdinand; Herman C., our subject;
Dora, the wife of W. Gruhle; and Emma who married H. Reichart of Kiel.
