then came to New York, and conducted a bakery till 1849; then went to Texas and 
New Mexico, and in 1851 came to Sacramento, where he worked in a bakery on K 
street till 1854, when he bought into the business with J. W. Lehman. In 1855 
they moved to J street and opened the Pioneer Bakery. Mr. Schroth became the 
sole proprietor in 1869. To obtain still better advantages Mr. Schroth some 
years ago purchased an interest in the Eagle Mills, at Knight's Landing; these 
mills are equipped with all the necessary machinery for the manufacture of 
flour, middlings, bran and ground feed. The firm owning the mill is Arnold & 
Schroth; they have a warehouse at No. 22 J street (adjoining the bakery), where 
a large stock of goods manufactured by the firm is constantly kept. In 1857 he 
married Amelia Fuchs, a native of Germany; they have three boys and three girls, 
all living. Mr. Schroth's Post Office is Sacramento.
