HENRY KÜHL, JR.
Originally published in 1900 |
|
HENRY KÜHL, JR., only son and child of Henry
Kühl, Sr., and Annie
Marie, was born January 28, 1853. He was a life-long resident of Union
Hill, Hudson County, dying there July 31, 1885. He always followed his
father's business, that of florist. Though but thirty-two years of age at the
time of his death, he gained an honorable reputation for ability, integrity,
and enterprise, and was respected and esteemed by all who knew him. His
knowledge of floriculture was broad and practical. He not only achieved
distinction in his calling, but also won honor and confidence as a public
spirited citizen. Like his father, he was an ardent Republican, and a useful,
energetic man.
He married Josephine Pierson, daughter of Joseph and Catherine Pierson, natives of France. She died September 15, 1896, aged fifty years. Their children are Catherine (Mrs. Francis Vivarttas), Henry, Julius, and Daisy, all of West Hoboken, the last three occupying the Kühl homestead on the Hudson Boulevard. This beautiful residence was built by Henry Kühl, Sr., but the present improvements, including the greenhouses, etc., were added by Mrs. Josephine (Pierson) Kühl, who was a woman of great business ability, force of character, and rare feminine accomplishments and culture. The business, which has been successful from the start, is now conducted by the four heirs – Mrs. Vivarttas and Henry, Julius, and Daisy Kühl – under the style of the estate of Henry Kühl, and attests the thrift and sound judgment of its founder and his successors.
