Notes for Charles F Lohman
Louis Charles Lohman and his father, Charles F. Lohman, were for more than sixty years conspicuously active factors in the development of Jefferson City and central Missouri.
Charles F. Lohman was born in Prussia about 1818, the son of a merchant. After serving in the German army he came to St. Louis about 1842 where he was married. His wife, Henrietta, was also a native of Prussia. The Charles F. Lohmans started to the State of California; Mr. Lohman was influenced to stop in Jefferson City, where he remained, becoming one of the wealthiest and most prominent businessmen in Central Missouri.
Lohman's Store, situated on the riverfront at the foot of Jefferson and Water streets, was for years the leading mercantile establishment of Jefferson City. This point was the boat landing, and before the railroad was built, the receiving point for all goods coming into Jefferson City.
When the Pacific Railway reached Otterville Mr. Lohman established a second store at that place. When it reached Sedalia he established a store in that city, and invested heavily in Sedalia real estate. He operated an iron foundry and helped organize the First National Bank of which he became a director. He had heavy investments in steamboats which he owned and operated. He lost heavily in this hazardous business, however, when some of his boats sank. He died July 29, 1879 at Stringtown, near Lohman, where he had moved and where he conducted a mercantile business on a comparatively small scale after retirement.
