HENRY GARDEMEYER, a liquor dealer at Livermore, is a native of North Germany. He
was born December 17, 1850, and was brought up in the grocery business until
1871, when he joined the army and served three years as a private soldier. In
1875 he emigrated to America, landing at Philadelphia, where he worked in a
sugar refinery for a time, when he came to Livermore and engaged in the beer
trade for a year. Quitting this business, he went to Danville, Contra Costa
County, and managed the Danville Hotel as proprietor for one year; and then, in
1878, he returned to Livermore and located permanently, first engaging in
real-estate business, and next, in 1879, in the soda-water works until 1885,
when he sold that out and has since been engaged in the liquor trade. He is a
whole-souled, generous, hearted gentleman, a member of the A. O. U. W. and of
the Sons of Hermann.

  He was married in San Francisco, November 8, 1877, to Miss Anna Behnken, a
native of North Germany. Of their six children only Henrietta and Minnie are
living.
