Manegold was president of the Milwaukee-Waukesha Brewing Company, with plant at No. 155 South Water Street in Milwaukee, was born September 15, 1851, in the city which is still his home. His father, Charles Manegold, was a native of Braunschweig, Germany, and came to the United States in 1848.[1] For a time he resided in Cincinnati, Ohio, and then removed to Milwaukee. He was a blacksmith by trade but in later life turned his attention to the ice business in this city and in 1868 built a flour mill on South Water street, which he continued to own and operate until his death in May 1879, his son Charles Jr., being associated with him in this undertaking. He was an active and progressive businessman and he enjoyed the respect and confidence of all. His father was Henry Manegold, who was likewise a blacksmith by trade. The mother of Charles Manegold Jr. bore the maiden name of Wilhelmina Notbohm, and she too was born in Braunschweig, Germany, while her death occurred in Milwaukee in 1909. Our subject has two brothers, Henry and William, who are yet regents of Milwaukee, the former now living retired. Two other brothers, Fred and Albert Manegold are deceased.
