Mr. Schlosser has spent most of his life in Wisconsin. He was born,

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.

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.
