"The History of Montgomery County, Ohio" by W.H. Beers & Co.  1882


Joseph Krebs, merchant, Dayton, was born in Bavaria, Germany, October 5, 1842, 
and emigrated to America, with his parents, at the age of four years.  After 
receiving a limited education in the Catholic school of Dayton, he commenced 
market gardening, which he followed for ten years.  In 1869, he came into Dayton
and opened a grocery, flour and feed store, in which business he has since 
continued, with the exception of two years, in which he kept a shoe store. He 
had built two storerooms, and by his polite and affiable treatment of patrons 
he has established a large and prosperous trade.  He was married in 1869 to 
Elizabeth Hochwalt, daughter of George Hochwalt, of Dayton, by whom he has nine 
children, six of whom are living, viz.: Clara, Josephine, Joseph, Bertha, Karl 
H. and Anna R., the latter being the surviving one of twins.
