This popular citizen, propriety >r of the Headquarters Saloon, now in the prime oi life, is of German nativity and has'her n in America since. 1870. As is so often the case with the sturdy Teutonic sons who seek the New World to better their condition, his fortune was yet to be made when he set foot on Columbia's soil. Mr. Rosenbaum went straight to Helena. Montana, where he remained until 1892, working first in a smelter, then in a grocery, then in a saloon at Missoula. It was in Montana that he became .acquainted with tin* young woman who afterward became Mrs. Rosenbaum, Miss Hulda Schultz, who was temporarily staying in that state, a daughter of Michael Schultz of Union township, this county. Soon after Miss Schultz returned to Indiana. Mr. Rosenbaum followed and they were married. In 1892 he engaged in the liquor business, in Hammond, where he soon suffered a se vere loss from lire. Though without a

roof over his place I e continued business . and struggle 1 "t > get on his. feet again.” In March, 181)4. lie opened his present place of business in Rensselaer, which is a finely equipped saloon* with billiard and pool tables in adjoining room. His bar and fixtures cost to exceed 82000 and are very handsome and unusual in a town of this size. He lias endeavored to conduct his saloon in an orderly manner and strictly according to law and serious censure lias never been laid at his door.

His courtesy has won him many friends. The accompanying illustration is of the very* pretty' home which he built last year at a cost of about $3000.' They have but one child living, one having died at the age of eleven months. On page nine is given an illustration of the interior of his saloon.
