Friday, January 27, 1809 Charles Hebrank
Charles "Carl" Hebrank was born in Hohen, Germany. He was a trained brewer. In 1853 he emigrated to America with his wife, Cartherine, and their children and settled in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Soon after arriving he partnered with Marcus Rapp to form a brewery in town, where his two sons Louis and John learned the art of brewing. Eventually his sons went on to establish their own breweries in West Virginia and Kansas.
Charles Hebrank died on the 18th of March, 1887 at the age of 78 years. The brewery was reorganized as the Parkersburtg Brewery in 1889 and was closed down by West Virginia Anti-Saloon laws in 1914.
