Originally published in 1900 |
HENRY W. SOLFLEISCH, of Homestead, North Bergen, Hudson County,
was born in New York City on the 10th of April, 1869, the son of Adam
Solfleisch and Margaret Berner. His parents were born in Germany. His
father served as a Captain in the German Army, and after coming to this
couulry was a soldier in the Union Army during the War of the Rebellion.
Mr. Solfleisch obtained his education in the New York public schools and then learned the trade of engraving and printing, mastering every branch and becoming an expert. At the age of twenty-one he started in business for himself, and now has, at No. 143 Fulton Street, New York, one of the largest steel and copper engraving and printing plants in the country. His success is the result of his own efforts, properly and judiciously applied, and from a modest beginning he has built up an extensive business. He has taken an active part in the affairs of North Bergen, and for three years served as a School Trustee of the township. He is a member of the Foresters of America, and as a citizen is public spirited, enterprising, and patriotic. In 1893 he married Miss Elise Kaestner. They have four children.
