commission business, 15 Main street. He settled in Oshkosh, Wis., in 1858,
and began buying produce of all kinds, making trips on Fox River from
Oshkosh to Portage City, following that two years; bought live stock two
years, shipping to Chicago and the Lake Superior region, and established
his grocery trade in 1862; he was very successful, but during the great
