Seven years later he went to Fort Wayne, following his trade for eighteen months, and on August 1, 1870 came to Columbia City and accepted a position with Frederick Busch, then engaged in the bakery trade. In 1871 he engaged in the grocery and bakery business, for more than forty years occupying the business room at 214 West Van Buren Street where he operated a saloon at the time of his death.
