F. Dohrman Yuengling

F. Dohrman Yuengling ( ) was known for being the fourth generational Yuengling to be president of the D.G. Yuengling and Son brewery along with his brother Richard L. Yuengling Sr. The D.G. Yuengling and Son brewery is America's oldest brewery still functioning to this day.

Early life

Frank Dohrman Yuengling Jr. was born to Frank D. Yuengling and Augusta C. Yuengling (née Roseberry) in 1913. F. Dohrman was the grandson of Frederick Yuengling and great-grandson of David Yuengling.

Yuengling was raised in the Frank D. Yuengling Mansion along with his siblings Frederick, Augusta and twins Richard and David Gual. Author Pamela Carol Mac Arthur described the children "hav[ing] the privilege of living in utter opulence" on the "magnificent" grounds of their mansion, which even included its own built-in car wash system for the chauffeur. This mansion was built by Frank D. Yuengling between 1911 and 1913 and was used as a family home until 1978, after which it was donated and added to the National Register of Historic Places. The first floor had eight "spacious rooms" and is executed in neo-Jacobean architecture. The second floor had seven "large rooms", while the third floor contained six rooms.

Yuengling married Edith L. Channell, daughter of James and Alma Miehle Channell. Edith, after marrying Yuengling, became a benefactor of Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts. Both Yuenglings were members of the Trinity Episcopal Church in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, which is the same church in which Yuengling's parents had been married on April 24, 1907.

Business

Upon their father's death, Yuengling and his brother Richard L. Yuengling took control of the D.G. Yuengling and Son company in 1963. This marked the fourth consecutive generation of patrilineal ownership and management of the company in the Yuengling family, being handed down from David Yuengling.

Death

Yuengling died in 1971 and was buried in the family plot in the Charles Baber Cemetery in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. He was survived by his wife, who lived until 2008. Edith was buried with Yuengling in the same cemetery plot in Pottsville.
