Henry G. IMWOLDE, proprietor of one of the most extensive and successful establishments devoted to the sale of groceries and meats in Butler, with a fine location on Main street, is a striking example of the foreign-born citizen, who makes up so large a population of this country, and who upholds so nobly the principles of this great Republic.

Henry IMWOLDE, father of Henry G. IMWOLDE, is a native of Germany, in which country he is residing at the present time, and his entire active career has been devoted to agricultural pursuits, in which he has been eminently successful. He married Mary LANDWOEHR, who is also living at the present time, and they were the parents of four children, two of whom left their native land for this country, namely: Henry G., and Herman F., who is a partner of Henry G., and resides in Suffern, New York.

Henry G. IMWOLDE was born in Germany, February 6, 1888. He received a thorough education in the schools adjacent to his home, and in 1903, at the age of fifteen years, emigrated to the United States, locating first in Suffern, Rockland county, New York, where he remained until October, 1909, when he removed to Butler, Morris county, New Jersey, and opened his present place of business, his store being modern and up-to-date in every respect, and he carries a large stock of the finest and best goods obtainable, therefore he enjoys a good trade and derives there from a comfortable income. His business methods are above question, and his trustworthiness has won him the confidence and respect of all with whom he has been in contact, whether in business or social life. His political support is given to the candidates of the Republican party, but he has never been an aspirant for public office, preferring to devote his entire time and energy to his business, which is steadily increasing, assuming large proportions. He belongs to the Masonic order, affiliating with Silentia Lodge, No. 168, of Butler.
