OSWALD REIMER - CARPENTER
"Ozzie" as he is known by residents of Lomira, started his own business in 1966.
Prior to that time, he was employed as a carpenter for Leslie Hirsig. While employed by Mr. Hersig the two men built homes in the village and surrounding communities as well as various other remodeling and repair jobs. Homes now owned by Robert King, Earl Wolf, John Sturrock, Mrs. Walter Klein and other were constructed during that period.
As an individual carpenter, Mr. Reimer constructed the home of Max Tolzman, the Sisters residence at Hope Nursing Home and an addition to Hope Nursing Home building. Also, many area homemakers are proud to show additions and remodeling projects done by "Ozzie."
In 1956 "Ladies Faire," a radio program, sponsored a nation-wide Make a Toy Contest. Mr. Reimer entered a set of Semi Assemblies and won the contest. He is still proud to show his prize winning toys to anyone. The family was entertained with a trip to Chicage, a cash prize, a diamond ring, and a dog for the Reimer boys, Kenneth, Gerald and James.
AT this time "Ozzie" is semi-retired and resides with his wife Carrie at 735 Milwaukee Street. The carpenter shop is also located at this address.
