CHRISTOPHER DOMITIO,
a pioneer merchant of Wauseon, O., was born in the city of
Pfalzburg, Lorain, Germany, at that time belonging to
France. His father's name was also Christopher
Domitio who died when the son was only three years old.
His wife survived him only eight years. Thrown on his
own resources at the early age of eleven years, the subject
of this sketch deserves all the more credit for having made
a successful business man of himself. He received an
elementary education in the public schools of Pfalzburg.
After quitting school he set to work to learn the tailor's
trade in his native city. Standing little show of
promotion in his native city, he emigrated to America,
locating first at Cincinnati, O., where he worked for a time
at his trade. In 1859 he came to Wauseon, where he
embarked in the gent's furnishing and clothing business,
which he has ever since so successfully conducted.
Without meddling with the affairs of others, he applied
himself closely to his own business, and by dint of hard
work and reasonable economy has built up a trade second to
no other of the same kind in that part of the State.
He came to Wauseon as a skillful mechanic, and his claims
were soon acknowledged by all who had occasion to utilize
his services. There is today no more popular and
highly respected citizen in Wauseon than Mr. Domitio.
By dealing fairly with his patrons, charging only a
reasonable profit, he has deservedly won the confidence of
all who have had dealings with him. As long as the
business is conducted along these lines it must continue to
grow, a fact well known to the subject of this sketch.
He married Miss Mary Scott, the daughter of John
and Mary Ann (Graham) Scott, natives of the Holmes
county, O., who settled on a fine farm in Clinton township,
Fulton county, in an early day. Mr. and Mrs.
Domitio have had two children, both daughters.
They are: Nellie, the wife of T. W. McKinley,
of Denver, Colo., and Lora, now Mrs. Charles
Shindler, a druggist of Toledo, O.
