Ackerman, Christian

manufacturer, legislator, was born Sept. 4, 1850, ın Hanover, Germany. He was elected to the Wisconsin state assembly from Sheboygan in 1894; and received the re-election in 1896. ACKERMAN, ERNEST ROBINSON, manufacturer, was born June 17, 1863, in New York city. In 1891 he was elected to the presidency of The Lawrence Cement Co., which produces five thousand barrels per day, nearly an eighth of the whole product in this country. The works of the company extend four miles on the Rondout creek in Ulster county, N. Y. The mills, kilns, storehouses, repair shops, cooper shops, railroads and mines, constitute an extensive plant, requiring the services of about a thousand men. A fleet of twenty-five canal boats, built by the company, transports the product to market by way of The Delaware and Hudson canal and the Hudson river, and a large number of outside vessels find desirable employment in the same business.
