" HENRY LAIS, sole proprietor of the Star Brewery, Norwalk, is one of the many indefatigable, wide-awake citizens and native-born business men for which Huron county is so justly celebrated. He was born, in 1853, in Monroeville, a son of Anthony and Catherine (Thomas) Lais...
Henry Lais, of whom this sketch mainly treats, received his education at the Monroeville public schools, after which he worked two years in the brewery owned by his father. He then went on the road as salesman for the brewery, traveling through Ohio and Michigan, and at the end of ten years he went into the office, and established the trade on a solid basis. For the past eight years the business has been most flourishing, the entire brewing finding a ready market, as the brands are of the very best quality. John Lais brother of Henry, is an able assistant in the management of the rapidly growing business. In the year 1882 he married Miss Mary Helrick.
Mr. Lais' paternal grandfather never left Germany, but his maternal grandfather came to America about the year 1830, and was a farmer in Huron county, dying some eight years since. Politically Mr. Lais is a Democrat, and he is a member of the C. M. B. A., L O. K. M., also Hermann Verein. "
