Biography

Kranz was born on 13 June 1834 at Lehrbach in the Grand Duchy of Hesse,^[1] which was a part of the German Confederation. He was the only son of Charles Kranz.^[1] He was educated at the Polytechnische Schule of Darmstadt^[1] and came to the United States with his father in 1851. After four years, the father and son moved to Berlin, Ontario (later known as Kitchener). His father opened a general store there in partnership with Henry Stroh.^[2] Hugo became involved in running the store and took over its operations in 1875 after his father's death. It was advertised in an 1884 municipal directory as C. Kranz & Son.^[3] In 1865, he married Catherine Seip. Kranz served as town clerk (1859 to 1867), reeve (1869 to 1870) and mayor (1874 to 1878) of Berlin.^[4] He also was trustee and treasurer for the Berlin High School and a justice of the peace. Kranz helped found the Economical Mutual Fire Insurance Company and served as its manager and president. He was defeated when he ran for reelection in 1887 and 1891, losing to Isaac Erb Bowman each time.

He died on 1 June 1902 at his home in Berlin after a brief illness.^[4] He is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Kitchener.^[4]
