marriage to Frida Reseburg, the couple making their home on woodland
which Mr. Lindemann had purchased and which after years of toil they
transformed into a fine farm. The place is now owned by Fred. Schnuelle.
After disposing of this farm he and his wife settled on a small place
on the Plankroad east of Kiel where they lived until about eight years
ago, when they moved to Kiel to spend their declining years in comfort,
with their daughter Pauline. He was blessed with nine children, of which
four besides his wife preceded him to the great beyond. Mr. Lindemann
was of that hardy pioneer stock that lives to a good old age or until
the devastation of time stills the heart pulse forever. He was respected
by all who knew him and they with the bereaved family mourn his passing.

Bertha, Mrs. H. Reseburg of Sheboygan, Clara, Mrs. R. Thiessen of

Oscar G. Lindemann, Longtime Cheese Industry Leader, Passes Away-Manitowoc, WI

Oscar G. Lindemann, 80, who spent more than six decades in the cheese and dairy 
industry and was actively involved in several organizations during his career, 
died last Saturday at Aurora Medical Center in Two Rivers WI.
Lindemann was born and raised in Manitowoc, WI, and was the third generation of 
his family to be involved in the dairy industry. As a youth, he helped on the 
family dairy farm owned by his father, Oscar E. Lindemann.
He also worked summer vacation breaks with Steve Suidzinski, owner  of Steve's 
Cheese in Denmark, WI, and later hand-wheeled cheese, hand-stacked 75-pound 
cheddars, waxed cheese and filled in wherever he was needed at Northern Wisconsin 
Produce, the family-owned cheese business that his grandfather helped start in 
1907. 
(Front page)

After serving in the US Army during World War II, including an initial assignment 
with Meat and Dairy Inspection Corp., Lindemann returned to Manitowoc and again 
became active in Northern Wisconsin Produce, buying and selling cheese and working 
with many plants that Northern and Sunny Valley Creamery, a sister corporation, 
owned and operated.
Lindemann became owner of Northern Wisconsin Produce in 1963 and was active with 
the company until the present time. The Lindemann family continues to operate the 
business.
During his career in the cheese business, Lindemann was an early member and director 
of the former Wisconsin Cheese Seminar, now known as the International Dairy-Deli-
Bakery Association; and served two terms on the National Cheese Institute's board 
of directors, and also held the office of treasurer.
Lindemann was also a longstanding member of the National Cheese Exchange, and was 
the buyer of the last car of cheese ever sold at the NCE, on April 25, 1997.
Finally, Lindemann was a longstanding member of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers 
Association, which earlier this year bestowed its highest honor, Life Member, on 
Lindemann.
He is survived by, among others, his wife of 51 years, children; two daughters,
five sons and a brother.
