Read More	Jacob Buhlman was a prominent dry goods merchant, Postmaster and Village President of Waunakee, Wisconsin, a small town on the outskirts of Madison. Born in Berne, Switzerland to Johann (John) Peter Buhlmann (1800-1886) and Anna Haldimann (1807-1875), Jacob arrived in the United States in 1852, settling with his family on a farm near Highland, Iowa. By 1855, the family had established roots in Saux City, Wisconsin. Jacob became a naturalized U.S. Citizen in 1883. On January 12, 1870, he married Nancy Dorothy Jones - a native of Chautauqua County, New York and later of Erie, Pennsylvania - who he had met in Mazomanie, Wisconsin. They married in Hardin County, Iowa and spent the first months of their marriage there. In 1871 they would move to Waunakee where Nancy would become one of the first school teachers in the area. Together they would have two children, Grace Lucille and Aubrey John, and one grandchild: William (Horace) Sheldon. Nancy died on June 6, 1913, most likely of tuberculosis or cancer. By 1871, Jacob would join his brother Frederick (Fred or Fritz) in operating a dry goods business in Waunakee, Wisconsin that Fritz had established as one of the area’s first businesses as the railroad built a new line through Waunakee. In 1879, their business relocated to new a brick and stone building at 121 West Main Street. A Buhlman-owned creamery was established in their old building at across the street (104 West Main), which operated for 15 years before being destroyed by fire. After his brother retired and later died, Jacob operated the dry goods store until his retirement in 1926. As early as 1915 until after his death, Buhlman and his heirs raised wheat on farms in Turton, South Dakota, Jamestown, North Dakota and Helena, Montana. He also sold oil rights to his land in Montana. After his retirement in 1926, he moved to Mazomanie, Wisconsin to assist his nephew in the operation of the Butz Dry Goods Store in downtown Mazomanie. Jacob was active in the Waunakee community, serving as Town President (1890-1901), Clerk and Postmaster (1886-1889) during his lifetime. He also established the First Presbyterian Society of Waunakee in July of 1877, co-founding the First Presbyterian Church on Fish Street in 1878. The last surviving member of a family of a reported 10 children, Jacob died in 1931 and was buried beside Nancy in Iowa Falls, Iowa where she and Jacob spent their early married months together.
