General Notes: Husband - Conrad Roessing

---

He was born in Herchfeldt, Germany, and when fourteen years of age started in life for himself. Coming to the United States some years later, he commenced in business at Cobelskill, New York, with his brother Justus, but they were burned out and lost everything. After working for a company in New York state for a period, they went to Ohio and established a large tannery. Here his brother died, and Conrad sold the business, and in 1841 came to Butler, Pennsylvania. He erected a tannery on North Washington street, which he operated for forty-five years very successfully. In August, 1882, he established the business later carried on by his son, Barnhardt E., who became his partner on January 1, 1884, under the firm name of C. Roessing & Son. In May, 1886, Mr. Roessing retired from active business, and the following year went to Pittsburgh, where he was living with his daughter.
