For what its worth, the Ruemmele who founded the newspaper, August Ruemmele, was an uncle of Joseph Ruemmele. The other cofounder of the newspaper, Hermann Ruess, was married to Joseph Ruemmele's aunt Wilhelmina "Minnie" Ruemmele. The Ruemmeles are related to the Fisher brothers from Detroit.
The Ruemmele and Fisher families made so many significant contributions to Erie and Huron Counties and beyond!
