Carl Praetorius Dietz (1875-1957) moved to Milwaukee,
Wisconsin with his family when he was a child. Over his lifetime he was an inventor,
an elected justice of the peace, a city comptroller, an insurance businessman and an
elected alderman of the 10th Ward of Milwaukee. Dietz unsuccessfully ran for
Wisconsin’s 5th District Congressional seat in 1936. In addition to his career in
politics, Carl P. Dietz was an avid collector of early model typewriters and had a
strong interest in music including composing and publishing songs. Dietz also served
as president of the Milwaukee Public Museum Board of Trustees, Chairman of the
Milwaukee City Art Commission, and sat on the boards of the Milwaukee Auditorium,
the Milwaukee Public Library, and the Milwaukee Art Institute.
