THURMOND, B.A. DENTON, TEXAS DECEMBER 2014 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people I would like to thank for their support and assistance as I worked on this research project.

    BLUE-RIBBON LEGACY FAMILY: THE PABSTS PABST, FREDERICK, SR. (1836-1904), inducted by 1920 Artist: Robert Wadsworth Grafton (1876-1936) PABST, FREDERICK, JR. (1869-1958), inducted 1957 Artist: Joseph Allworthy (1892-1991) Born in the Kingdom of Prussia (present-day Germany), Frederick Pabst, Sr., immigrated to America with his parents and took a job as a cabin boy for a Lake Michigan steamship company. By the time he was twenty-one, he had earned his pilot’s license and was a steamship captain. Captain Pabst ran aground in a storm in 1863 and decided to find work on dry land instead, in his father-in-law Phillip Best’s brewery. Pabst took over Best’s shares and expanded Best Brewery production and markets, and by 1874, it was the largest brewery in the United States. The company was renamed Pabst Brewing Company in 1889, and with its success, Milwaukee became known as the beer capital of the nation. In 1870, Pabst purchased a farm near Wauwatosa and became one of the first to utilize brewers’ grains as cattle feed, demonstrating their value in beef and dairy production. He imported Percheron breeding stock from France, taking the horses to work at the brewery and to show in the ring. Frederick Pabst, Sr., contributed to his Milwaukee community in many ways, including establishing a bank, a resort, theatre, and traveling library of German books. The second-generation Pabst—Fred, Jr.—briefly ran the “Blue Ribbon” business immediately following his father’s death, but left to establish Pabst Farms, in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, in 1906.
