 business of papier mache making, ard l became very skillful in this art, mak- | ing several valuable inventions. He | worked at this business in Germany for

Camp of this city became in- l terested in the work of the young Ger man. saw the value of his inventions, | and induced him to come to Waterbury and establish the papier mache busi- 1 nesss in connection with him, in the
 building on Canal street, now occupied by the laundry. The business proved a
 prosperous one, and continued until the vagaries of fashion lessened the de-
 mand for papier mache, and such
 articles went out of date After this
 business was given up, MT Adt went
 to Haydenville, Mass, where he engaged in the manufacture of gold pens with
 the firm of Dawson Warren & Hyde After remaining there for some time he returned to Connecticut, first to Tor rington, then to Waterbury, where he was for many years an employee of the Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing company.

 At the time of MT. Adt' coming to Waterbury there were out few Ger mans in town.

He was of genial, loveable nature, with kind word for all, and was one of those rare men of whom it is said. He had not an enemy in the world" Through the last months of his life, though suffering from great pain and weakness, he was always patient and cheerful keeping about until a week before his death. Few men will be more deeply mourned or more affectionly remembered by the people of their acquaintance.
