Luxemburg, Germany, in 1831. Came to America in the spring of 1853, and lived 
in Illinois one year; came to Wisconsin in 1854, and commenced life in La 
Crosse as a clerk in a grocery and liquor store, which he continued up to the 
fall of 1857, then went into business for himself in the same line, on Pearl 
street, and the next spring bought out a store on Front street. In 1859, he 
built a store on Main street, corner of Second, where he carried on business 
nine years; he was then three years in Kundleson's block, on Second street. In 
1870, he erected a three-story brick building, with stone front, on Front

interest in the liquor trade of Charles B. Solberg, which he conducted from 
1876 till 1879, then went into business for himself in his present location, 
where he has remained since that time. He held the office of County Treasurer 
from Jan. 1, 1864, till January, 1866. His oldest son, Charles W., entered the
