Brian — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 18:11:13 +0000

The Plymouth Downtown Revitalization Committee and Plymouth Advancement Association will be working on a new mural on the Salvation Army building in downtown Plymouth. The project will be based on the former Pfeifer Drug Store at the corner of Mill and Caroline. The mural will go on the Salvation Army building which is adjacent to the original site of the drug store. The Plan Commission approved the mural at the June 7, 2012 regularly scheduled meeting.

Biography Charles Pfeifer – December 5, 1855 to May 3, 1939

Charles Pfeifer was born in Milwaukee in 1855. He received his early education in that city attending parochial school and Englemann’s School. At the age of 16 he entered the drug store of R. Weisse and after gaining considerable knowledge he enrolled in the Spencerian Business College in Milwaukee.

After his graduation from this college he was employed by the Schorse and Co. drug store for two years. His marriage to Miss Emma Beck of Milwaukee occurred in 1877 and the couple moved to Slinger, Wis. where he operated a drug store of his own.

In 1881, he purchased the drug store on the corner of Caroline and Mill street owned by Julius Schlaich. The drug store originally opened in 1860 by Dr. Carl Dreher, who was succeeded by Freiburg & Moeller and then in turn by Mr. Moeller who retained it until 1870, when Captain Schlaich bought it. In 1888 Charles enlarged the store and with the assistance of his wife ran a successful business. Mrs. Pfeifer held an assistants certificate which was unusual for a woman of that time.

In 1890 Mr. Pfeifer was elected Mayor of the city of Plymouth. At this time only the main business street had sidewalks and it was through his efforts that s special law was enacted by our state legislature changing the city charter and adding such provisions as were used in other cities to force property owners to build and maintain sidewalks. At the time that Mr. Pfeifer assumed the mayorship there were only 17 kerosene lamps that illuminated Mill street, and soon 40 more were added. Mr. Pfeifer recalls with interest the spectacle of seeing the residents of the city walking meekly along our streets after dark carrying a lantern.

In 1907 he sold his drug store to H.W. Jennings. His wife died April 1, 1907. In 1908 he received the appointment as Postmaster of the city and served in that capacity until 1916. On September 6, 1910 he was married to Miss Barbara Bucklemueller. In 1927 he was appointed Superintendent of Cemeteries of the city of Plymouth. He held the office of president of the Plymouth Mutual Fire Insurance Co. for more than 28 years. He was the president of the Plymouth Telephone Exchange for over 26 years or until it was sold. In the spring of 1932 he was elected to the office of President of the State Pharmacal Association.

Mr. Pfeifer died May 3, 2930 at the age of 83. He was survived by four children, Dr. Fred P. Pfeifer, New London, Dr. Henry A. Pfeifer, Milwaukee, Mrs. Alex Gardner and Mrs. Falter Nims, Jackson. A son Edward preceded him in heath in 1899.

Brian — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:47:49 +0000

State statute, local ordinance and the City’s budget development guidelines prescribe the process of budget review and adoption for the City of Plymouth. The laws require public input in the budget process, including the publishing of a budget summary in the local media. The Finance & Personnel Committee, along with the Director of City Services and City Clerk-Treasurer, is responsible for the development and preparation of the annual budget. Budget work is typically a year-round process. In June, departments submit capital budget requests to the Director of City Services. In August, departments return draft budget detail sheets outlining specific operational requests. The annual budget is typically adopted in mid to late November in Plymouth.
