Note: Obituary - Edward D. Huneke
After an illness of two weeks, Edward D. Huneke, said to be one of the oldest German-Americans of Baltimore, died yesterday at the home of his son, Charles W. Huneke, Belair road near Southern avenue. Born in Hanover, Germany in 1848, Mr. Huneke came to this country in 1870. For many years he was engaged as a decorator in this city, but in 1888 he became one of the founders and stock holders of the old Globe Brewery. Later he founded the wholesale wholesale whiskey firm of E. D. Huneke and Sons, retiring from the active management about 10 years ago. He is survived by his son; a daughter, Mrs. Annie Landwehr of Baltimore; and six grandsons.

E.D.Huneke & Co
Even though it has been in existence only a relatively short period of time, the business E.D.Huneke & Co, wholesale liquor dealer at no. 20 East Camden Street, has already acquired an enviable reputation, and the credit for this belongs mostly to E.D.Huneke; because only a business man with his connections could have acquired such a desirable, large clientele.
Mr. Huneke was born on June 20, 1848 in Kamscheide, Amt Hoyer, Hannover. (Kamp Sheide = camp heath)
In his hometown he learned the profession of a stucco worker; he worked in this capacity for seven years in Amsterdam and came to New York as a real expert in his field. Shortly after, he moved to Baltimore. Here Mr. Huneke initially worked in his profession as one of the most sought after workers if there was a masterwork to be created.
Afterwards, Mr. Huneke took on a restoration project, helped found the Globe-brewery, and was one of the shareholders, directors and member of the construction committee of the Globe-brewery Company. For many years he also held the position of a collector. The latter position he gave up to retire to private life.
But only two years later, he took over the "Stag-Halle" which he had already managed for three years when he sold it to Mr. Henry Schleunes.
Afterward Mr. Huneke and his daughter took a trip to Europe during which he visited his home, as well as Switzerland, France and Holland.
After his return to Baltimore, Mr. Huneke entered the present business, which he managed by himself for a year and a half and then took on Mr.Justus Hobelmann as a partner who was also very experienced in this business.
Next May the company will move to 324-326 Hanover-Strass[pe (Street), at the corner of Conway-Strasse (Street), a building they purchased and will first completely renovate.
Mr. Huneke married in the year 1873. Unfortunately, his wife already passed away in 1898. They had two children in their happy marriage; a son, Mr. Charles Wilhelm Huneke who works in his father's business and a daughter, Miss Anna Huneke.
Mr. Huneke is a member of the "Sincerity Lodge No181 of the Masonic lodge" and also belongs to numerous other German organizations.
