------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LOUIS NICOLAUS, one of the leading business men of Sacramento, and proprietor of the [Capitol] brewery corner Twelfth and I streets, is a native of Germany, born at Heugelheim, Bavaria, January 5, 1829, his parents being William and Margaretha Nicolaus, the father a farmer by occupation. Louis Nicolaus was reared and educated at his native place, and in 1846 came to America, sailing from Harve to New York, being fifty-five days on the voyage. He proceeded to Buffalo, and there entered on an apprentice ship at the cooper’s trade with Conrad Antrose. He served one year at the trade, then worked for his employer as a journeyman. In 1848 he went to Canada, but returned after one month, to Buffalo. He then went to Cleveland, where he was employed for a time, and then worked on the canal to Dresden for a few months. He then went to Cincinnati, where he spent the winter of 1848-’49. He next went to St. Louis, and from there to Lexington, Missouri. He worked out in the woods near that place that summer, splitting staves for Waddle & Co. In the fall he again went to St. Louis, and in the spring of 1850 returned to Lexington, Missouri, There a company of forty-three was organized. under Captain Joe Waddle (a Mexican war veteran), for the purpose of going to California, and Mr. Nicolaus was one of the number. They proceeded to California via Ft. Kearney, Ft. Laramie, Sublette’s cut-off and the Truckee route, Mr. Nicolaus being sick most of the way. He and those with his wagon, four in all, stopped at Nevada City, and engaged at mining, continuing about two months. They went to Grass Valley next, but, getting no rain there, went up to Little Yuba, and mines at Hess’s Crossing, in the middle of the river, until the fall of 1851. Mr. Nicolaus then came to Sacramento, and from here went up to Amador County. He mined awhile there, then started in the butcher business with a man named Broaddus. He was in business there until the fall of 1868, when he again came to Sacramento, and bought some stock, which he afterward sold. He bought an interest in the [Capitol] brewery at twelfth and I streets, in October, 1869, from Martin Arenz, and remained in partnership with him until 1873, when [his brother-in-law] Wendell Kerth bought the interest of Mr. Arenz. Mr. Nicolaus has carried on the business ever since, and has practically rebuilt the entire plant. Since 1884 he has been making a beer which many people consider superior to any lager. The capacity of the brewery is fifty barrels per day, and a ready market is found in Sacramento and tributary territory. Mr. Nicolaus was married in this county to Miss Susannah Kerth, a native of Germany. They have had six children, of whom four are living, viz: Louis, Edward, Emma and Julia. The two deceased children are: Willie and Windell. Mr. Nicolaus is a member of Schiller Lodge, No. 105, I. O. O. F., and the Sacramento Hussars. He is a popular man, and counts his friends by the score. Thompson & West, History of Sacramento County, 1880 p.145 Breweries The Industries of Sacramento California, Published by Thompson

LOUIS J. NICOLAUS.
Louis J. Nicolaus, a native son of California,
has for the past ten years been a foremost farmer, stock-raiser and dairyman
of Sacramento county, residing a few miles southeast of Franklin, where
he owns an estate of two thousand well improved acres, one of the model
ranches of the county. He located on this place in 1895, and has since been
thoroughly identified with his locality in matters of citizenship and industrial
enterprise.Mr. Nicolaus was born at Montezuma Hills, near San Francisco, May 7, 1858. His parents, Louis and Susanna (Kerth) Nicolaus, were both natives of Bavaria, Germany. His father emigrated to America in 1846, and in 1850 drove ox teams across the plains to California, Where he spent some time at gold mining and then went to raising stock at Montezuma Hills. He followed the butcher business for several years in Oleta, Volcano and Pine Grove in Amador county, and then in 1868 located in Sacramento county. At Sacramento he became one of the pioneer brewers, and successfully followed that business until his retirement in 1894, after which he passed his years quietly at Sacramento until his death, on May 5, 1903. He was one of the well known men of the capital city, was a Democrat in politics, and affiliated with the Odd Fellows and various other fraternities. His wife passed away January 1, 1901, and four of their children survive: Louis J.; Emma L., wife of Dr. E. L. Southworth, a well known dentist of Sacramento; Julia E., wife of J. E. Govan, city collector of Sacramento, and Edward A., a capitalist of Sacramento. Mr. Nicolaus spent most of his youthful days in Sacramento, where the public schools and Atkinson’s Business College furnished him his education. For some twenty years he was associated with his father in the brewery industry, from which he retired in 1895 in order to devote his energies to country life and the various departments of ranching. He was married, April 30, 1894, to Miss Frances L. Gumbert, who was born in Amador county and was reared in Sacramento county. Her parents were August and Caroline (Gramp) Gumbert, her father a native of Germany and her mother of New York state, and they were both California pioneers, her father coming to the state in 1850 and her mother the year following.

August Gumbert was one of the early gold miners of the state, and then for years followed merchandising in Oleta. Mr. and Mrs. Nicolaus have three children, Edna, Gladys and Vera. Mr. Nicolaus’ political tendencies are entirely independent, but in many ways he manifests his public-spirited interests in the well-being of his community.  "Eddie"
