Biography

[edit | edit source]

Max Bachhuber was born in the Kingdom of Bavaria in December 1832. As a child, he emigrated to the United States with his parents, settling in what is now Addison, Wisconsin, in 1846. He went to work in Milwaukee in 1850, then purchased a farm in LeRoy, Wisconsin, in 1855, where he remained for much of the rest of his life. In addition to his farm, he operated a store in the Farmersville community, where he was also postmaster for nine years.[1]

He was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly three times running on the Democratic Party ticket. He served in the 1860, 1864, and 1875 legislative sessions.[1][2]

Bachhuber died on February 2, 1879, and was survived by his wife and ten children.[1]

His son Andrew Bachhuber, grandson Frank E. Bachhuber, and great-granddaughter Ruth Bachhuber Doyle also served in the Wisconsin State Assembly. Jim Doyle, the 44th governor of Wisconsin, was his great-great-grandson.[3]
