C. C. KURZDORFER Taking front rank among the business men of Fairfield it; the man whose name heads this sketch; and we know of no one among the many enterprising business men more aptly adapted to his line than he. The Fairfield Marble and Granite Works, of which Kurzdorfer is proprietor, has developed from a small remnant of stock, which he purchased in 1882, to its present proportions. Frequent attempts have been previously made to establish this line of industry in Fairfield, and failure has been the common result. Mr. Kurzdorfer has proven himself the right man in the right place, and in a very brief period has made for himself a trade which, though large, is still increasing.
He has recently erected a now and commodious building adjoining the bank, where, with his large stock and extensive force of workmen, he is prepared to meet the demands of the public for anything in his line. We predict for Mr. Kurzdorfer the future success which his energy merits.
He was born in the city of St. Louis, Mo., March 21, 1860, and is the second of a family of eight children born to George and Otilla Kurzdorfer, both of whom are natives of Germany. They were married in St. Louis, and in 1869 removed to Belleville, Ill., where they now reside.
Charles C, was educated in the public schools of St. Louis and Belleville, and in 1878 became book-keeper for Mr. F. J. Scholz, a marble dealer of Evansville, Ind., remaining with him until August, 1882, when he came to Fairfield, as above stated.
He was married in Norborne, Mo., September 5, 1882, to Mattis Scholz,daughter of Rev. F. W. and Christina Scholz. She was born September 5, 1862, and died in Fairfield September 19, 1883.
