" Anthony and Catherine (Thomas) Lais, natives of Germany, the former born in Baden in 1826, the latter born in 1828. She came to the United States when a child, and was reared and educated in Huron county, Ohio.
In 1849 Anthony Lais came to America, making his new home in Monroeville, Huron county, where he married. In the same year he came here he was given the position of foreman in J. S. & H. M. Robey's brewery in Monroeville (established in 1845), which he held with characteristic fidelity for a period of twenty-one years. In 1870 he came to Norwalk, and in 1871 purchased the brewery in that town, from which time until his death in 1886 he carried it on continuously, with more than average success. This industry was at first but a small ale brewery, now the product of it is nearly six thousand barrels of beer annually, the market for same being chiefly confined to local trade in Huron and Erie counties. Anthony and Catherine Lais had a family of eight children, as follows: Mary (married to W. O. Meyers), Henry (our subject), John, Josephine, Charles, William, Helen, and George, all yet living. The mother is now making her home with her son Henry, who with true filial affection is caring for her in her declining years. "
