| The 1860 New Jersey Business Census shows the Rumpf &
Frielinghaus Brewing Company at 28/30 S. Canal Street, Newark, New
Jersey. This business was previously owned by Jacob Leonhart (1858
Newark Business Directory). The address 28/30 S. Canal Street no longer
exists. The road was on the south side of the Morris Canal. The building
was located a few doors east of Broad Street and could have been part
of Centre Market. The 1860 Newark Business Directory shows the Rumpf
& Frielinghaus Brewing Company. Daniel’s partner was Friederich
Rumpf. Together they employed eight men at an average monthly cost
of $200.00 in labor. The capitol invested in real and personal estate
was valued at $8,000.00.
The raw materials used were as follows: 10,400 bushels of malt,
10 tons of hops, other articles and 8 tons of air coal. The combined
value was $13,750.00. The annual product was 4000 barrels of French
Ale valued at $19,000.00 and yeast valued at $50.00. According to
the Newark City Directories the Brewery existed from 1860 to sometime
in 1865. The directories show listings for both Frielinghaus and
Rumpf for all the years. In the 1864/65 directory there appears
an asterisk before the name of Daniel Frielinghaus but none before
the name of Frederick Rumpf. When checking the beginning of the
directory a notation is found stating that an “*” means
that the person listed was not found by canvassers, but supposed
to be located as given. The 1865/66 Newark City Directory does not
list Daniel but has a listing for Frederick Rumpf, Insurance Agent,
255 Washington Street. The next Newark City Directory shows the
occupant of the brewery as Lyon & Son, Brewers of Porter, Pale,
Amber, XX & XXX Ales, In Hogsheads, Barrels and Half-Barrels.
