W. Beckwith (1881) N. Geiger, spirit merchant, Covington, was born in Germany in 1831, and came to America in 1850. He stopped for a time in Akron, Ohio, and after leaving there he spent some time in other cities, and finally came to Covington in 1853. He is by trade a cooper, and worked as "jour." until 1857, when he opened a shop and engaged in the business until 1865, when he gave it up and entered upon his present line of trade. Mr. Geiger has been a careful manager and good financier, and now owns a nice farm of eighty acres, and three houses and lots in Covington. In 1866 he was married to Miss Mary Ausbert, who is a native of Germany, and by whom he has five children: Mary, Katy, Emma, Nicholas K. and Fredrick.
