OBITUARY: Edward J. Garthoffner (Transcribed by Jim Thoma) Edward J.

Two men are employed and Mr. Garthofner does a general wholesale and retail business which is growing in volume through his' management. He was born in Boonville, Mo., April 11, 1867. George J.

He operated a wagon shop in Boonville for many years - and was prominently identified with the early growth and history of Boonville. He was barn in 1828 and died May 13, 1873. His wife was Victoria (Wagner) Garthoffner, who bore him eight children, seven of whom are living: George, Boonville; Edward, subject of this review; Frank and Henry, engaged in the drug business in St. Louis; Mary, Boonville; Louisa, deceased; Emma, Boonville; and Mrs. Sophia Gantner, Boonville. After attending the parochial schools of Boonville, Edward J.

He remained with him until 1910, when he closed out his partnership interest in the business. In 1910, June, he was appointed postmaster of Boonville and served until July 1, 1914. For the following year he traveled for the Melito Fish and Oyster Company. Mr. Kramm became owner of the local feed mill at that time and Mr. Garthoffner operated it for Kramm for six months. Then Olendorf bought it and Mr. Garthoffner was in his employ until he became sole owner on July 1, 1917. Mr. Garthoffner was married in 1896 to Miss Mary E. Darby, a native of Cooper County, and daughter of Patrick Darby, a sketch of whom appears in this volume. Six children were born to this marriage: Bernardine, a teacher in the public schools of Cooper County; Mary, bookkeeper in the Commercial Bank of Boonville; Richard, Edward, Jr., Dorothy and Frances.
