Henry and Christian Eggenberger are well known business men of Theilman, where they are successfully operating a sawmill and are also carrying on other industries. Henry was born near Toronto, Canada, July 30, 1864, and Christian in West Albany Township, Wabasha County, Minn., June 12, 1869. Their parents, Christian and Anna Elizabeth Eggenberger, were born and married in Switzerland, and came to the United States in 1854 on a sailing vessel, being three months on the ocean. Locating first in Buffalo, N. Y., they subsequently went to Canada, and in 1865 came to Wabasha County, Minnesota, taking 160 acres of wild land in West Albany Township, which they developed into a farm with good buildings ... Henry Eggenberger was married in November, 1910, to Hattie Krahn, who was born in Pennsylvania, February 25, 1868, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adelbert Krahn. Her father was pastor for some years of the German Reformed church at Theilman, to which the subjects of this sketch belong. The two brothers are enterprising business men, and are successfully conducting an important industry, which is a factor in the prosperity of the village in which they have made their home." [Franklin Curtiss-Wedge, Compiler, "History of Wabasha County, Minnesota" (H. C. Cooper, Jr. & Company, Winona, Minnesota, 1920, p. 610)]
