various shoemakers later becoming a laster in Reynolds shoe factory.
In 1890 he went into the liquor business, first on Seneca street and a
year later on Washington street and built up a large business. But he
could not hear inactivity and a short time ago opened a family liquor
store and delicatessen establishment next to his former business
location.
Deceased was a former member of the Utica Veteran Zouayes under
command of Capt. Thelwin Jones. he was also formerly connected with
the Utica Maennerchor. he was a member of St. Joseph's Church and of
the Roman Catholic Society and Branch No. 55 C.M.B.A. connected
therewith.

children: Albert, who was in business with his father; Emma, wife of
Walter Klines, of New York; Nellie, Rosa, Grace, Frank, John,
