N. GEIGER, spirit merchant, Covington, was born in Germany in 1831, and came to America in 1850. He stopped for a time in Akron Ohio, and after leaving there he spent some time in other cities and finally came to Covington in 1853. He is by trade a cooper, and worked as “jour” until 1857, when he opened a shop and engaged in the business until 1865, when he gave it up and entered upon his present line of trade. Mr. Geiger has been a careful manager and good financier and now owns a nice farm of eighty acres and three houses and lots in Covington. In 1866 he was married to Miss Mary Ausbert, who is a native of Germany and by whom he has five children; Mary, Katy, Emma, Nicholas K., and Frederick.
