Tess, Charles (1 September 1879 - 19??)

Charles Tess, owner and proprietor of the Edgar Bottling Works, at Edgar, Wis., and village trustee since the spring of 1912, was born in Kewaunee County, Wis., September 1, 1879, and is a son of Christian and Rosa Tess. The father died in Kewaunee County at the age of sixty years but the mother still lives there. Of the eight children of the family three survive.

In 1904 Charles Tess came first to Marathon County as a logger and spent two winters in the woods, following which he came to Edgar and here bought the Edgar Bottling Works from Peter Pestien. He has a large territory, his patronage being widely extended, delivering some fifteen miles in the rural regions and to all the small villages in this section. He gives employment to one man and keeps very busy, the product being all kinds of bottled soft drinks.

Mr. Tess married Miss Annie Mathieson, who was born in Manitowoc County, Wis., and they have two children, Lester and Harvey. The family residence and also the place of business are on Redwood Street. In politics he is an independent voter. Fraternally he is identified with the T. I. C. and the Eagles.
