JOSEPH J. SCHLOSSER, a native of Germany, was born June 10, 1849, and came
to the United States in December, 1867, locating in New Albany, Ind.
Remaining there about three years he then came to Louisville, and after
clerking for Wm. G. Schmidt he, in 1874, opened a drug store on the corner
of Fulton and Adams streets, which he conducted very successfully until the
overflow of 1883, when he bought his present location, Second and Chestnut
streets, and, after the subsidence of the water, operated both stores until
the summer of 1886, when he sold the place at Fulton and Adams streets to
his brother, P. Schlosser. He was married in 1874 to Miss Emma C. Gehlbach,
of New Albany, Ind.
