Theodor Lustig

Found when I googled Theodore Lustig, this is in the book "History of the Great Lakes Vol. 2".

THEODORE LUSTIG Theodore Lustig, chief engineer of the C. H. McCormick estate, has had charge, since 1890, of the Reaper block, the Owings and the Shepherd buildings, Chicago, and has the entire confidence and respect of his employers. He is one of the honored citizens that Germany furnished to the New World, his birth occurring in that country in 1855. His parents, Charles and Mary (Slottan) Lustig, were also natives of the Fatherland, where they spent their entire lives, dying there when our subject was only ten years of age. Mr. Lustig received a good practical education in the schools of his native land,At the age of fifteen years he crossed the Atlantic and took up his residence in Davenport, Iowa, and from that place engaged in sailing on the lower Mississippi in 1871. The following year he came to Chicago, and for eighteen years was actively identified with marine affairs, being especially interested in tugging as engineer and owner, though he also served as engineer on barges for a time. He owned an interest in the tugs he ran, and still owns the tug Torrence, used in towing. He is one of the best known marine engineers, and tug owners of Chicago, and in business circles stands deservedly high. Socially, he is a member of the old M. E. B. A. No. 4, and the Independent Order of Foresters. Mr. Lustig was married in Chicago, in 1880, to Miss Emma Buchholtz, also a native of Germany, and to them have been born eight children: Minnie, Alvena, Augusta, Clara, Charley, Paula, Lulu and Emma.
