Notes on Simon Heinrich Adolf........from a book entitled, "Portrait and Biographical Record of Sheboygan County, Wisconsin", Excelsior Publishing Co., 1894, and from personal recollection.

Simon became a prosperous farmer in the Town of Herman until his death. He started a farm across the road from his brother, Frederick Herman, and the Mission Haus. His farm was a working dairy farm until 1970. The farm buildings are still standing today. A picture of the farm taken about 1960 is on http://www.rretc.com/familyhistory/lippe_detmold/picture_gallery.htm

In addition to dairy farming, Simon Heinrich Adolf also was a cheese maker for 20 years, from 1873 until his death. The cheese factory was a small building that was located just outside the picture of the farm to the lower left. That building has long gone.
