  From Ezra Eby Book John Shuh, "was born October 30th, 1828. After the decease of his father, he, together with his mother and his sister, Lydia, made their home with George D. Shoemaker, where he was raised. In 1846 he went to Jacob S. Shoemaker, Bridgeport, where he was engaged in the large mills. Here he remained until 1851, then he went to Berlin and commenced clerking for Mr. Henry Huber who then did business in a small roughcast store situated where now is the American Hotel. A few months later he engaged himself to Hoffman & Co., in whose services he remained until 1856 when he came to the town of Waterloo and entered into partnership with J. Hoffman and Isaac Weaver, under the firm of John Shuh & Co. Here he remained in active service as a general merchant until 1889 when he sold out to the firm of Shuh & Snider (Mr. Shuh of this firm was Mr. Levi Shuh, youngest son of John Shuh). Since then he has lived a more retired life. He is president of the Waterloo Woollen Mills and also one of the directors of the Waterloo Mutual Fire Insurance Company. He was married to Susannah, daughter of David and Catharine (Eby) Weber. She was born April 19th, 1836, and died August 7th, 1863.
