Lyle Oberwise
Lyle Oberwise (1908-1993) was an American photographer who meticulously documented urban life in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from the 1930s through the early 1990s, especially its changing architecture. Upon his death in September 1993, a cache of over 43,000 color slides was found in his apartment, few of which had ever been seen by anyone but Oberwise himself.
==Personal life==
Lyle M. Oberwise was born in Batavia, Illinois on July 5, 1908. He was an only child, the son of Matthew Oberwise and Laura Monahan Oberwise. Oberwise's father died in 1934 at the age of 50. His mother died in 1957, aged 70. Oberwise graduated from St. Charles High School in 1926. He was desrcibed by a classmate as "a real quiet guy, a real loner". By 1931 he had earned a degree in engineering from Milwaukee's Marquette University. It was the height of the Great Depression and jobs were scarce, even for those with college degrees. He spent the next several years in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), then took a job as a machine operator at Milprint Packaging in Milwaukee. He married Agnes Goodrich, a librarian, in 1939. During World War II he was drafted into the United States Army and trained as a military photographer, serving with the 3374th Signal Photo Corps in the CBI (China-Burma-India) theater of operations. Upon returning home he resumed working at Milprint until 1952 when he took a job as a custodian at General Electric Apparatus Service Center in Milwaukee. He remained there until his retirement in 1973.〔Johnson, Marilyn."Lyle M. Oberwise".''Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design''.June 1995.〕〔Oberwise, p.8-9〕
Oberwise never owned a car, instead traveling on foot or using public transport. He was notoriously frugal. A niece related how she and her husband once stopped at his apartment for a visit. Expecting to dine out afterwards, and even offering to pay, they were surprised when Oberwise suddenly announced, "There's plenty to eat at home...", and proceeded to cook them a box of macaroni and cheese.〔Stingl, Jim."Milwaukee Aglow".''The Milwaukee Journal''.February 5, 1995.〕
