Benjamin H. WITWER

                   Witwer genealogy of America by Ananais Clime Witwer and Rev. Geo. Witwer  1909 So. Bend Indiana
Benjamin Herhey Witwer started in the grocery business in Rockford, Ill., in 1864, and in the year 1881 formed the partnership with his brother, Henry E., of the firm of Witwer Brothers Co., Wholesale Grocers, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.   Benjamin H. has been in the grocery business for 45 years, and they have been very successful, and I wish to mention here that the information received from Benjamin H. has been highly interesting and has been given with such a good Christian spirit that it has been a great pleasure in receiving his letters which prove him to be a Christian in the full and true sense of the word.  And I find that he is quite a prominent member of the Christian chruch at his home city and very highly respected and influential.
