his parents to Dubuque. After attending the public and parochial schools, he completed his education with a course in Bayless Busi-ness College, working during this time at such various odd posi-tions as were to be had. In 1865 he entered the wholesale grocery establishment of \V. H. Rumpf, starting as an apprentice and aris-ing to the position of shipping and receiving clerk. In 1882, however, in partnership with John H. Kleine, Mr. Schroeder em-barked in the wholesale grocery business on his own account, and ten years later consolidated with :\Iessrs. F. A. Rumpf and John P. Ferring, and continued business under the firm name of the Schroe-der & Kleine Grocer Company. under capable management this concern has grown and prospered and is now regarded as one of the solid, substantial commercial houses of Dubuque. Aside from the above mentioned interests, ~Ir. Schroeder is a director of the Dubuque Altar Company. As a Democrat in politics he served three terms as county treasurer, and is at present a member of the Board of Education. He is of the Catholic faith and a member. of St. Mary's Catholic church. On November 7, 1871, at Dubuque, he married Miss Katherine, daughter of Michael and Anna Maria Beck, and to their union nine children, two dying in infancy, were born. Those living are named : William, secretary and treasurer of the Schroeder & Kleine Grocer Company; George vV., assistant secretary and treasurer of same; John P., shipping clerk of same; Anna, a graduate of St. Clara College; Marie, a graduate of St. Joseph's Academy, Dubuque; Katherine, a graduate of Professor Kleine's Academy of Music, Dubuque; and Josephine, a graduate of St. Clara College.

CHRISTIAN ANTHON VoELKER, well-known insurance and real estate operator, came to Dubuque when one year old. and has made this city his home ever since. Born August 16. 185o, in Baden, Germany, he was the son of Leopold and Magdalena Voelker, who came to Dubuque in 1851 and for many years engaged in the lum-ber business. The father died in November, 1902, at the age of seventy-eight years, his wife's death having occurred six years previous, at seventy-four years of age. Both now lie at rest in Mount Calvary cemetery, but they are yet well remembered by their many friends and neighbors. When brought to Dubuque, Christian Anthon Voelker was but one year old, and until reach-ing the age of thirteen he attended the Trinity Parochial School, now known as St. Mary's. He then started out in life for himself as an apprentice in the chairmaker's trade, which he subsequently followed ten years. In 1873. however, he established himself in a small way in the dry goods business, increasing his stock and properties as occasion warranted, and followed this particular line of endeavor for over twenty years. Three years before disposing .of the above mentioned interests he ventured into the real estate

In religion he is a Catholic, affiliating with St. Mary's Catholic church, of which he is also a trustee.

He helped found the First l\"ational Bank in 1863 and was its president. He was actiYe in school affairs and was a Congregationalist, and left a widow and four children.

J. J. E. 1\"0R:\IA~ died December 12, 1872, as the result of a runaway accident on the ).Jorth Cascade road near Dubuque. He was pitched headfirst from his buggy into a rocky ravine. He lay unconscious seYeral hours. He was born in Philadelphia in 1815 and came to Dubuque in 1841. He became prominent at once, both as a Catholic and as a friend of education. For over twelve years he was county superintendent of schools. He was able, honest, acth·e. and always reliable.

PETER F. ERSCHENS. JR., was born in 1869. in Centralia, Du-buque county, Iowa, and is a son of Peter and Susana (Hoven) Erschens, who came to America and this county in 1852. Peter Erschens.
