Liberty Pole eagle restored by Legion: St. Nazianz group leads local project
August 2, 2024
The eagle flies again over the town of Meeme.
After more than a year’s absence, the eagle weather vane is repaired and replaced on the historic town of Meeme Liberty Pole.
The original Liberty Pole was erected in 1852 by Nicolas Dittmar as an expression of gratitude for the liberties and freedom found here in America. The pole was destroyed by a sleet storm and was replaced in 1889 by Civil War veterans in remembrance of their fallen comrades.

Diversification key at R Braun Inc.
February 23, 2023
R Braun Inc. may be the poster child for diversified companies.
From manufacturing manure application equipment to providing a variety of services for farmers, selling powersports equipment, renting other equipment and doing or selling what seems like countless other things, the St. Nazianz-based company does it.
Diversification keeps a company from having all its eggs in one basket. R Braun Inc. has lots of baskets and lots of eggs—not literally, of course.
The company traces its roots back to 1964 and a business known as Modern Plumbing, Electrical, and Heating Inc. Richard and Joyce Braun operated the business from their home located just outside St. Nazianz. When the focus became electrical contracting, the name was changed to Braun Electric Inc. Before long their services were extended to all aspects of farm service and throughout the years the company has expanded to meet the ever demanding and changing needs of their customers.
