     Anton Schlosser immigrated with Gustav Schlosser and Apollonia Magdelina Gerstner in 1868. In 1918 ANTON SCHLOSSER is one of the oldest and best known business men of Spring Green. For over twenty years he was in the general merchandise business there, but has since given up the role of merchant and is now devoting himself to his duties as village clerk, notary public and as an insurance man. Mr. Schlosser has spent most of his life in Wisconsin. He was born,
however, in Koenigshofen, Bavaria, Germany, October 15, 1857. In 1867, at the age of ten years, he came to America with his parents, Gustav and Lona (Gerstner) Schlosser. They all located in Merrimack Township of Sauk County, where his father was an active farmer for
two years. He then removed to Sauk City, and making his home in that village followed his trade as carpenter the rest of his life. He died in Sauk City in 1877, at the age of fifty-six. His widow survived him nearly thirty years, passing away at Sauk City in 1906, at the age of eighty-two. Anton Schlosser lived at home with his parents until he was fifteen, and then began making his own way in the world. He had a limited public school education, but was a boy of natural industry and of keen observation and good habits. Thus he was prepared to make a favorable impression and win promotion when he started as a boy clerk in a store at Black Hawk in Sauk County. He remained there accumulating experience and earning a living for five years. The proprietor of a store at Spring Green was S. M. Harris, and he next clerked for him five years. In the spring of 1882 Mr. Schlosser, capitalizing his experience, opened a general stock of merchandise at Spring Green and soon had a profitable trade. In 1883 he took in as a partner Albert Held, under the name Schlosser & Held. In 1894 Evan Davis joined the firm, under the name Schlosser, Held & Davis. In 1900 Held & Davis sold their interest to J. A. W. Sprecher and William Bonham, and the title of the
new firm was Schlosser, Sprecher & Bonham. In 1904 Mr. Schlosser sold his interest in the store, which in the meantime had grown and prospered, to Eli Schoephorster, and after that he lived retired from business entirely for two years. In 1905 Mr. Schlosser went to Broadhead in Green County and bought an interest in a general store from the Stair Brothers. He had as partners in this enterprise Henry Jones and Henry Schwartz, the firm being Schlosser, Schwartz & Jones. Mr. Schlosser also moved his family to Broadhead, but in 1906 he sold out and returned to Spring Green. For about ten years he had no special business connections except as representative of several insurance companies, but in 1916 he became village clerk and now gives most of his time and attention to that office. He has also served as village assessor five years. He is secretary of the Inter County Fair Association. Mr. Schlosser is a member of the Congregational Church, is treasurer of his Lodge of Odd Fellows and a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. On February 24, 1881, he married Miss Rosina Diehl, of Troy Township, Sauk County. Mrs. Schlosser was born in that locality Fiebruary 24, 1862, and was married on her' nineteenth birthday.
