In 1880 he moved his family to Royalton where he operated a flour and saw mill. In 1884 he came again to this city to start in the manufacturing of market baskets, out of which business the present Veneer Works grew. In 1902 he retired from business turning the ?? to his sons, Frank and Fred.
Mr. Eggers belonged only to one fraternal organization and that was the Odd Fellows. The funeral of the departed one took place this afternoon which was held under the auspices of Lodge 66, I.O.O.F. The lodge was assisted in the funeral service by D.R. Anderson, who made an impressive funeral address. A wife, one daughter, Louise; five sons, Frank Fred, Joseph, George and Harold Eggers mourn the loss of a kind father.
