Note:
Was a resident of Bridgeport for nearly thirty years after he retired from business in Saginaw.
He was born in Rhinephaltz, Bavaria, and was engaged in a woolen mill at that place; subsequently he learned the butcher trade and as an apprentice traveled one year in Alsac Loraine, Baden and the Netherlands. He escaped the severe military service in the Fatherland by emigrating to America, taking his best girl, who subsequently became his wife, with him, taking passage on a sailing vessel and arriving in Detroit in 1863.

There they were married, and lived in one room together with his brother Martain, and the two families cooked on one stove. Martain first moved to Saginaw and wrote Adam to come hither and grow up wit h the city. Adam at that time had started a butcher shop. He sold out and drove with a team to Saginaw, with his wife, William, the baby, and his household goods. They arrived in Saginaw
at night and came near driving into Saginaw river where the Genesee bridge is now, and where the plank road ended. Asking a woman passerby where East Saginaw was, she informed him that he was in the heart of the town, and she directed them to his brother's house on Warren street, the light from the kitchen window being visible from where they were. He immediately engaged in the butcher business and was for years the only butcher in town. Adam Baum's son, Wm. Y., has been a resident of Bridgeport for nearly thirty years.
He is a Republican and served as town clerk for thirteen terms and one term as treasurer. He married Frances, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.D. KEELER

Adam married Anna Marie Junckner on 27 Jun 1853 in Saginaw Township, Saginaw, Michigan. Anna was born on 6 Apr 1831 in Lambrecht, Neustadt, Bavaria. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
