A Standard History of Erie County, Ohio: An Authentic Narrative of ..., Volume 2 By Hewson Lindsley Peeke
ALEXANDER DECK. For many years a well known and prosperous merchant of Sandusky, Erie County, Alexander Deck, through his good business judgment and management, acquired a competency, and is now living retired from active pursuits, enjoying to the utmost a well merited leisure. His birth occurred in the month of May, 1840, in the Town of Ahrenstten, Baden, Germany. His parents were life-long residents of Baden, where his brother, Ferdinand, and his sister, Mary, are still living.
Leaving school at the age of sixteen years, Mr. Deck, who as a boy was bright and ambitious, began an apprenticeship at the cabinetmakers trade, and served faithfully for four years. He subsequently worked as a journeyman in several different cities, from each of his emplovers receiving a certificate testifying to his good character and his skillful workmanship. Returning to his home. Mr. Deck was for four years in the employ of the Kaiser, and in 1866, during the progress of the war between Austria and Prussia, he served as a soldier in the German army.
Immigrating to the United States in 1867, Mr. Deck located at Sandusky, Ohio, where he soon found employment, first as a cabinetmaker and later as a millwright. Then for a period of three years he was engaged in the dry goods business, but owing to ill health he was forced to give up work for a time, and therefore disposed of his store and stock. On recovering his former vigor, he embarked in the furniture and undertaking business, conducting a store on East Market Street until 1898, when he sold out, and has since lived retired, as above stated.
Mr. Deck was united in marriage with Miss Josephine Cable, who was born in Indiana, being the eldest daughter of Lawrence Cable. Mrs. Deck died in June, 1912, at a comparatively early age. She was a most estimable woman, and a devout member of St. Mary 's Roman Catholic Church, to which Mr. Deck also belongs.
