CURDES, George F., Napoleon, baker and confectioner of Napoleon, was born
in Hessian Nassau, Germany, in 1856, and was a son of Henry Curdes.
George emigrated to America and settled in Baltimore, where he was
apprenticed to and learned the baker and confectioner business.  After a
short residence in Cincinnati he settled in Napoleon and established his
present bakery, confectionery and ice cream business, in 1880.  He was
married in 1882 to Lydia Roser, who was born in Switzerland, a daughter of
John Jacob Roser.  They have had a family of three children: Sarah, Mary,
Louis.  Four of George's brothers and sisters came to Napoleon and are now
living: Amelia, Lena, George F. and Louis.
