ABRAHAM LEOPOLD.

One of the most successful of Rensselaer’s business men is Abraham Leopold. A narration of the growth of the town since 1862 would be most incomplete without constant allusion to this enterprising citizen, who has become so conspicuous a figure in its rapid development. The story of his life since he landed in Philadelphia from Bavaria in 1850, a lad of fourteen years with but 95 cents as his whole worldly capital, would make interesting reading. He was born in Grunstadt, Bavaria, in 1836, and therefore he is now in his sixtieth year. His father, Simon Leopold, was also a native of Bavaria, where he died in 1873. His mother, Sarah (Stanfeldts) Leopold, was born in the Dutchy of Darmstadt, and also died in 1873. Our subject came to America and landed in Philadelphia in 1850, where he clerked for a time, then went to Pittsburg, and thence to Cincinnati, where he clerked two years. Afterward he removed to LaPorte, Ind., where he kept a store for three years. He then went to lowa, and thence to Rock Island. 111., and opened a cohfectionery store. Prom Rock Island he went to Francesville, Ind., where he engaged in mercantile business with one Heidelberg, which was continued until 1862, when he removed his stock to Rensselaer, where he has since re sided, always an active and popular merchant. Mr. Leopold married Miss Amelia, daughter of Philip Eltzbacher, and a native of Prussia. This union has been productive of eleven children—Milton, Rachel, Simon, Benhart, Isaac, Louis, Moses, Sadie, Julia, Gertie, and an infant, deceased. Uptouthe time Mr. Leopold commenced busirfcssf in Francesville he had accumulated by thrift a capital of SBOO, which has steadily increased under his skillful management until now he is sole proprietor of one of the finest and best stocked stores, The Model, in Rensselaer. Leopold’s Addition, a tract of 70 acres, was his contribution to the area of Rensselaer. Upwards of 100

WILL A. MOSSLER.

The above is one of the most capable young business men in Indiana, as is evidenced from the wonderful success he has attained for The Model store, during the eighteen months it has been under his management. To be sure he has been backed by ample capital, which goes far toward enabling any merchant to secure the best values in exchange for his ready cash, but that is not all that builds up a successful business. Mr. Mossier is reputed among members of the trade as being an excellent judge of goods', a prudent buyer and a salesman par excellence. He is always ready to purchase those newer and most fashionable articles of merchandise which makes The Model popular with stylish patrons. Will A. Mossier was born in Thorntown. Boone county, this state, in 1867. His father is Aaron Mossier, a merchant there for thirty-two years, under whom the son received the training which is now so valuable to him. In 1890 he went to Kentland, Ind., where he engaged in general merchandising for two years. He then went to Remington and remained one year; then in May, 1894, came to Rensselaer to manage his father-in-law’s store, The Model. Mr. Mossier was married to Miss Ray Leopold, daughter of Abraham and Amelia Leopold, April 15, 1890. Two children have come to bless their happy home, Pauline, born in Kentland, January 7, 1891, and Phillip E., born in Rensselaer, December 16, 1895. Mr. Mossier is a member of several fraternies, Masonic, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias.
