Esayas Blumer, a highly respected citizen of Monroe, Green county, Wis., was born in Canton Glarus, Switzerland, Aug. 15, 1839, a son of John and Dorothea (Blumer) Blumer. He was about 14 years of age when his father brought him to America. He attended the schools of his native land, and after coming to Wisconsin attended during the winter term for a time. Before leaving Switzerland he had been employed in the calico printing factories, working from six o'clock in the morning until six o'clock in the evening for five cents per day, and after coming to this country he worked out by the month on farms for four dollars per month, giving his earnings to his parents until he was twenty-one years of age. Upon attaining his majority he started out in life for himself, working the first year for his father for one hundred dollars, and then worked for other people.
When the Civil war threatened the disruption of the Union he shouldered a musket in defense of his adopted country, becoming a member of Co. K, 16th Wis. V.I., in 1863, and was mustered out in Louisville, Ky., July 15, 1865. He took part in over twenty battles, went with Sherman to the sea, and marched back to Washington, D. C. in time to participate in the grand review there. While too sick for duty a number of times, he kept well enough to avoid the hospitals, After the war was over he returned to Wisconsin and worked that fall for $20 per month, but rested through the winter, and with the opening for farm work the next spring he entered into contract with Mr. J.J. Tschudy of Clarno township to work the season for $250. In a short time he purchased a farm and by his untiring industry and practical economy he acquired a comfortable competence. Farm work has been his life work in this country, but since 1897 he has lived retired in Monroe, at his comfortable home at 724 Church Street. Mr. Blumer takes an active interest in public affairs, and socially belongs to the O. F. Pinney Post, G.A.R.
On April 2, 1867, Mr. Blumer was united in marriage with Miss Henrietta Grosse, daughter of Gottlieb and Rosina (Winter) Grosse, and these children came to bless this union: Rosa, who married Ernest Holcomb; John of Washington township who married Fannie Blum; Wilhelm Gottlieb who married Katharina Blumer; Ezra of Washington township who married Emma Blumer; Edward; Anna who married Albert Zimmerman of Washington township; Fred who married Sophia Zimmerman; Henrietta who married Thomas Hoesly; Bertha who married David Pfeiffer of Monroe; and Caroline who makes her home with her brother Wilhelm Gottlieb caring for his motherless little ones. Mrs. Henrietta Blumer, the mother of this family of children passed away March 18, 1895, at the age of fifty-four years. She was a faithful member of the Swiss Reformed Church of Washington township.
On July 16, 1897, Mr. Blumer was married a second time to Mrs. Magdalena Schmid, widow of Bendicht Schmid, and daughter of Christian Neuenschwander and Anna Streit. Both Mr. and his wife are members of the German Evangelical Church of Monroe. No children have been born of this second marriage but Mrs. Blumer by her former marriage is the mother of eleven children.
