require  any  argument,  and  this  must  soon  claim  the  attention  of  the 
management  and  merits  the  earnest  consideration  of  each  loyal

CHARLES  HOLZHAUER. 
By  Edward  A.  Sayre. 
Charles  Holzhauer,  of  Newark,  N.  J.,  was  born  in  Cassel,  Ger- 
many, in  1848.  He  was  the  son  of  Urban  Holzhauer  and  came  to 
this  country  with  his  parents  when  quite  small.  They  settled  in 
Newark. 
His  early  education  was  received  in  the  Morton  Street  public 
school.  At  a  later  date  he  took  a  special  course  at  the  Newark 
Academy.  In  1862  he  left  school  and  entered  the  employ  of  Dr. 
Stewart  C.  Marsh,  who  was  the  owner  of  the  old  drug  store  at  the 
northwest  corner  of  Broad  and  Market  Streets.  The  doctor  had 
an  office  upstairs ;  the  store  was  under  the  management  of  Peter  P. 
Saunier.  The  clerk  was  John  Woods,  and  Charles  Holzhauer  was 
the  junior,  expected  to  do  everything:  bottle  washing,  clean  windows, 
show  cases  and  bottles,  sweep  and  dust,  omitting  nothing  that  was 
at  that  time  considered  as  the  work  of  the  boy  who  was  to  learn  the 
drug  business.  All  these  things  our  subject  did,  and  in  addition  was 
able  to  study  and  pick  up  sufficient  knowledge  so  that  when  Mr. 
Woods  died,  he  became  the  clerk  and  another  did  the  drudgery. 
In  1870  the  store  was  sold  to  Dr.  W.  A.  Conover.  In  1879  ne 
sold  a  half  interest  to  Mr.  Holzhauer.  The  doctor  was  restless  and 
anxious  to  get  out  of  business,  so  that  a  year  or  so  later  Mr.  Holz- 
hauer became  sole  owner. 
Early  in  life  Mr.  Holzhauer  joined  the  Central  Presbyterian 
Church,  then  located  on  Washington  Street,  near  Market.  He  was 
active  in  both  Sunday-school  and  church  work,  serving  as  superin- 
tendent of  the  former  until  it  was  deemed  advisable  to  sell  the  edi- 
fice and  move  to  a  new  location.  He.  did  not  go  to  the  new  church, 
but  joined  the  High  Street  Presbyterian,  located  conveniently  to 
his  home.  Here  he  was  just  as  active  in  the  work  until  the  time  of 
his  death.  The  Sunday  Call  on  November  25  contained  the  fol-
