John L. and Christine Staib, natives of Germany, who came to America and
to Louisville about fifty years ago.  The subject of this sketch was the
elder of two sons, and was educated in the schools of Louisville.  He was
engaged on the river, first as receiving and delivery clerk, and finally
worked his way up to superintendent and manager of the Louisville and
Evansville packets, a position he held many years.  He resigned the place,
and in 1886, engaged in the wholesale produce and feed and grain commission
business.  He was married in April, 1885, to Miss Nettie N. Ainslie, a
