HENRY KOHRS (1830-1917)

HENRY KOHRS

1830-1917

In the spring of 1854 a young man, industrious in spirit and indomitable in determination, selected young and already thriving Davenport, Iowa as the place where he would earn his living. Up from grocer’s helper and clothing store clerk to builder of one of Iowa’s most exclusive meat packing houses—that, in brief, is the story of this intrepid man of progress. To the memory of Henry Kohrs, pioneer Davenport businessman and founder of Kohrs Packing Company, this site is respectfully dedicated.
