Troutman, Ludwig, (page 982), lunch-house and bakery, on Water street, has
been in business in this place a little over twenty-six years, and at the
present location twenty-five. His business during the prosperous years of
the city was quite extensive, and consisted mainly in supplying the
stewards of the river craft. Of late years trade is more local. Mr.
Troutman was born in Hesse-Darmstadt, October 10, 1831; learned his trade
in Affolterbach, his native city, and came to America in 1851, landing in
New York September 3 of that year. The next two years were spent in
Pennsylvania, from 1853 to 1856 he was in St. Louis following his trade,
and in the latter year came to Read's Landing, establishing himself in
business here, May 1, 1857. The winter of 1856-7 was spent in St. Louis,
at which time he married Miss Mary Hess, of that city. They have one
child, Ludwig, Jr., born January 6, 1860, now in the drug business in this
place.
