HUGO DUENWEG, city treasurer, Terre Haute, is a native of Prussia, Germany, where he was born in the year 1841, and at the age of seventeen years, or in 1858, he emigrated to the United States, and located at Terre Haute, where he shortly after entered the employ of Mr. BROKAW, carpet dealer, in the capacity of clerk, and remained with him until April, 1861. He then entered the army under Col. Lew WALLACE, in Co. C, 11th Ind. Vol Inf., three months' service. At the expiration of this term of enlistment he again enlisted in Co. E, 32d reg. Ind. Vol. Inf., three years' service, under Col. A. WILLICH. He was made orderly sergeant, promoted to second lieutenant and again promoted to first lieutenant, and at the death of the captain he took command of the company. During his service he participated in many of the heavy battles that were fought during the rebellion, among which may be mentioned: the battles of Munfordsville, Shiloh, Corinth, Liberty Gap, Murfreesboro and afterward the succession of battles of the Atlanta campaign. In September of 1864 he was mustered out of the service and returned to Terre Haute. The same year he was appointed deputy revenue collector of the seventh Indiana district and continued in that capacity until October, 1866, when he engaged in private business, but in April, 1869, he again assumed the duties of deputy collector, continuing in the service of the government until May 20, 1873, when he again resumed private business. In May, 1877, he was elected to the office of city treasurer and reelected again in May, 1879, and is now discharging the duties of his second term. He has been faithf ul in the discharge of his duties as a public officer, and has, as yet, given the people no cause to regret their choice in placing him in the position he now occupies. - HISTORY OF VIGO AND PARKE COUNTIES Together With Historic Notes on the Wabash Valley H.W.

EUGENE DUENWEG, Terre Haute, has been agent for the Jos. Schlitz Brewing Company for about one year, and by his enterprise and good management this branch has been brought to an important stand as one of the industries of the city. Since he engaged in the business he has built, near the Indianapolis & St. Louis railroad depot, an icehouse with a capacity of about ninety-six tons, which is also used as a store-house. To operate this business, which is gradually increasing, Mr. DUENWEG gives employment to from two to four men. Mr. DUENWEG is a native of the province of Rhine, Germany. He has now been a resident of Terre Haute for the past thirteen years, to which place he came direct from Europe. He first began work in this city by accepting a position in the Vandalia railroad shops. Leaving the shops he began work for the wholesale firm of H ulman & Cox, as receiving clerk. He held this position a little over one year, and resigned to open and operate the Easter brewery. He did not remain in the brewery quite one year, when, in 1877, he accepted the position as deputy city treasurer, under his brother Hugo, a position that he is still holding, and discharging his duties in a proper and satisfactory manner, though he also does an extensive outside business, as explained. - HISTORY OF VIGO AND PARKE COUNTIES Together With Historic Notes on the Wabash Valley H.W.
