Nope, F. Huels didn't marry August Herfurth's daughter. Maybe he just purchased the business.

"Fred A. Herfurth. One of the first-class examples of the self-
reliant man who has made his own way in the world is Fred A. Herfurth,
a successful contractor and owner of a planing mill at Fremont. He
was born at Madison, Wisconsin, on June 14, 1868, a son of August
and Ida (Dienald) Herfurth, both natives of Germany, who came to
Wisconsin at an early day and were there married, and became the
parents of five children, four of whom survive, namely : Millie, who
married Earl Brink of Grand Island, Nebraska ; !Mrs. Alma Leberman,
who is a widow, of Fremont ; Fred A., who was third in order of
birth ; and Max, who is a carriage trimmer, living at Fremont. The
parents were members of the Congregational Church. In politics the
father was a democrat. By trade he was a gunsmith and he worked
at his trade at Madison, Wisconsin, and at Fremont, Nebraska, to which
city he moved when Fred A. Herfurth was a child, and here he died
in 1884, but his widow survives him and lives at Grand Island.

Fred A. Herfurth attended the public schools of Fremont, and was
graduated from its high school course in 1894. Beginning his appren-
ticeship in boyhood, Fred A. Herfurth learned the carpenter trade and
has always worked at it, developing into a contractor, and has done con-
siderable building in and about Fremont. In 1907 he established a
planing mill that he sold to W. R. Reckmeyer, and in 1913 built another
mill that he is still conducting in conjunction with his contract work.
In his mill Mr. Herfurth makes fixtures of all kinds used in woodwork,
and his product is in great demand. A skilled workman himself, he
will not accept anything but first-class work and is noted for his faith-
fulness in living up to the specifications of his contracts."
