context_section_description: Joseph Bosch was born in Baden, Germany in 1850.  He emigrated to New York with his family when he was four, then moved to Wisconsin at the age of twelve, where his father was a brewer.  In 1867, the family moved to Lake Linden; there, Bosch worked as a miner of the Calumet & Hecla company. However, he harbored the desire to become a brewmaster, and travelled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to work at the Schlitz Brewery, then on to Cleveland, Ohio and Louisville, Kentucky before returning to Lake Linden in 1874 to found the Torch Lake Brewery.  Two years later he admitted business partners and changed the name to Joseph Bosch & Company.  In 1894 he again changed the name, this time to Bosch Brewing Company, and in 1899 the brewery was the largest in the Upper Peninsula, with a capacity of 60,000 barrels annually.
  Bosch was also the president of Lake Linden's First National Bank, organized in 1888, and participated in various mercantile enterprises, including those carried on in the Joseph Bosch Building.
