CHARLES STEINACKER, FRANKLIN -- Charles Steinacker was born in New Orleans,
February 22, 1845. He is the son of Frank Steinacker, who was born in Bavaria in
1810. Francis Steinacker was lieutenant in the Bavarian army and served as a
patriotic soldier for several years. He emigrated to America in 1841 and landed
in New York City, where he remained until 1843, when he came south, locating in
New Orleans. Here he was married, in 1843, to Miss Roch, and they became the
parents of two children--our subject, Charles Steinacker, and a daughter,
Elizabeth. Frank Steinacker died in 1850.
Charles Steinacker was reared
in New Orleans, and received a good business and literary education. He then
served an apprenticeship as a blacksmith, and subsequently entered tire employ
of a large retail mercantile house in New Orleans, with whom he remained as
salesman for eleven years. He came to Franklin in 1885, and accepted an
engagement in one of the largest mercantile houses there. Desiring to enter
business for himself, he opened a general mercantile house on his own account in
1889, where his efforts have been attended with the greatest success. He is now
doing one of the most active and paying businesses in St. Mary parish. Mr.
Steinacker is a natural salesman, and is in his element when handling goods and
dealing with the public. He is a member of the Catholic church.
