He was born December 25, 1832. In 1863 he came to the United States, and first made his home at Wheeling, where for a number of years he was proprietor of a cigar manufactory. Finally he removed from Wheeling to Parkersburg, and did business there a short time, and thence he removed to Fulton, in April, 1889. Here he established a cigar factory, which is doing good business, and he also conducts a hotel, which is winning a good patronage. He is a member of the Odd Fellows and of the Switzer society, and is a popular citizen. He was married in 1864, to Mary Hofer, a native of Switzerland. (Linda Fluharty)
