George T. Stehling - Stehling-Blommer Wagon Works - 1870s-1920s - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Stehling Blommer Waggon Works was located at 553-555 10th Street in Milwaukee in 1889 1890 and was co-owned by John Blommer and George T. Stehling.

Thanks for your reply-My g grandfather George T Stehling was born in Milwaukee in 1852,,married Mary Blommer in 1873-had 4 or 5 children-one of which was my grandfather Frank G Stehling. He died the day before my father was born in 1909. I have always been told that I was related to all the Stehlings in WI. Who knows? So far I can't find any listings anywhere on the surname. My gg & g fathers were owners of
Stehling-Blommer Wagon Works in Milwaukee until it burned in 1908.

I believe all of my Stehling's were from Milwaukee County although my ggrandfather lived in Marshfield when he passed away in 1932.

Am looking for information for decendants of George T. Stehling B 1852 Milw. WI Mary Blommer B. 1853- Milw. WI. Any information re: Stehling Blommer Wagon Works which burned in 1908. Seven children born of this marriage. Frank George Stehling - son, was my grandfather, D. 1909 day before my Father, Frank T. Stehling was born.

He served for ten years as assistant at St. Vincent's church, Oshkosh, Wis., and in 1905 he went to Rome, Italy, to study, and there received the degree of D.D. at the end of the year. He further pursued his studies at the Catholic University of America, at Washington, D.C., for another year, and in 1907 was appointed to his present position in the Seminary of St. Francis. He is a careful and conscientious student, and is eminently fitted for the responsible position which he now occupies.
