Seligman, who was also born in Germany during 1850. It is not known exactly when the couple moved to Leadville or their activities prior to arrival in the city.
In 1879, Seligman was listed as a clerk for M. Leppel and Company. M. Leppel and Company was a wholesale alcohol distributor located at 96 East Chestnut Street. [2] In 1880, it appears that Seligman decided to operate a saloon. The saloon was located at 426 West Chestnut Street and the family resided at the same address. [3] Between 1880 and 1881, Selgiman took up a new address at 210 West Fourth Street. [4]
