This is the village blacksmith. He came to Roseville in the spring of 1844, and with the exception of five or six months has been a part of the population ever since. He was born in Wurtemburg, Germany, in 1828, being now in the 70th year of his age; yet he is in robust health and is found daily at the forge in his blacksmith shop. He came to America, when only fourteen years of age, with his parents, Berlin and Waterloo being then mere hamlets. Mr. Kaiser does general blacksmithing and builds wagons and cutters, and does all kinds of wood and iron work in this line. His son, Louis, who keeps the books, has just added a new feature to the business in the way of a small, but well equipped, job printing office, and is turning out some fine work in that line. The latter has had considerable experience in newspaper work, and I would not be surprised if Roseville did not, in the near future, suddenly find herself enjoying the blessed privilege of having a local newspaper.
