PETER P. ADLER. 

This gentleman is numbered among the prominent citizens of Joliet, where he 
has been engaged in business for a number of years, manifesting a degree of 
ability and enterprise that has given him a high standing in business circles 
and wins for him a flourishing trade. He is a member of the firm of Adler 
Brothers, stock dealers and shippers, and wholesale and retail dealers in 
meats. Their market is situated at No. 112 Exchange Street, in the National 
Block; and their business of shipping stock to the East necessitates the 
buying by wholesale in Kansas City, Mo., and various other points in the West. 
The subject of this sketch owns considerable land in the township and has 
charge of the estate, whereon horses, mules, cattle, and hogs are raised in 
considerable numbers. He is known as a general farmer in a large way, while he 
has also attended to the shipping of the stock of the firm, simply overseeing 
the business. Mr. Adler was born in Joliet Township, this county, October 8, 
1842, being a son of Michael Adler, whose history will be found in the sketch 
of Jacob Adler on another page of this Album. He grew to the age of nineteen 
years on the farm, after which he learned the trade of a shoemaker in the city 
of Joliet. After mastering his trade, he engaged in the clothing business, 
continuing in it several years, but in 1868 beginning the meat business. He 
bought with his brother Jacob, having charge of the market, and since they 
extended their business to include the buying and shipping of stock, he has 
spent much of his time in Kansas City, Mo., or in various parts of the State 
of Kansas, interested with his brother-in-law, F. G. Rappie. He has an 
interest in the building in which the market is carried on. The marriage of 
Mr. Adler took place at the bride's home, in Joliet, in 1865. She was born in 
Ohio, in 1844, to Joseph and Elizabeth Flick and was christened Mary A. Her 
father was a native of Alsace, when it was a department of France, and her 
mother was born in Pennsylvania, her maiden name having been Seuter. The 
family came to this county in 1833, and Mr. Flick engaged in the hotel 
business in the same house the family now occupies. He died in 1873, leaving a 
widow and four daughters, three of whom now survive, two being at home. To Mr. 
Adler and his estimable wife six children have been born, three of whom are 
living. They are named respectively: Angeline, Lizzie and Peter M. J. The 
parents belong to St. John's Catholic Church and stand well in the esteem of 
their acquaintances, their characters and intelligence rendering them useful 
and agreeable members of society.
