Herman Marth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herman Arthur Marth (January 28, 1880 – March 11, 1970) was a chef, restaurateur, union organizer, and Socialist state legislator from Wausau, Wisconsin, who served two terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly, from 1918 to 1920.[1]
Marth was born January 28, 1880, in Wausau, the son of Louis and Ottilia (Ramthun) Marth, and attended the local public schools until dropping out at age 15 to go to work (although he continued studies at a business college at night). He worked his way up to become a chef and restaurateur in Wisconsin and neighboring states.[2] He became also active in the labor movement and acted as a labor organizer for various unions.[3]
