He was born in Wurtemberg March 7, 1825, and is a son of Fred Stoltz, also a native of the Father- land. When fourteen years of age he was appren- ticed to learn the cabinet-maker's trade, at which he worked until reaching his majority. In 1847 he left Hamburg on a vessel bound for Amer- ica; landing in New York, he came west to Mil- waukee, and two years later we find him a resident of Pekin, where he engaged in the manufacture of furniture up to 1865. In that year his furniture factory burned... down and although sustaining a severe loss, he three years later purchased the city flouring mills, which he operated until 1892. The plant was entirely remodeled in 1883, at which time Mr. Stoltz put in a full roller system, which had a capacity of turning out one hundred and thirty- five barrel of flour per day. Our subject disposed of his mill property in 1892 in order to give his undivided attention to the Independent Biscuit and Cracker Company, which was organized the previous year, when he was elected its President.
