Friday, October 1, 1830 Jacob Luther
Jacob Luther was born in Homburg, Saarland, Germany. He came to America, probably with his brothers and sisters in 1849. They all settled in Quincy, Illinois where Jacob started a brewery on State Street and his brother Adam opened a brewery on Oak Street.
Jacob ran the brewery until April of 1880, when he died and his wife Mary took it over. She sold or leased it to Durrstein & Co., after which it passed through two more owners or lessees before closing in 1911.
