He came to the United States about 1849, locating in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was engaged in the butchering business. After some time there spent he removed to Xenia, Ohio, where he conducted a meat market for about three years. In March, 1855, he came to Oskaloosa, Iowa, where he engaged in the butchering and pork-packing business, his packing house being the old building afterward known as Johnson's foundry and machine shop on South First street. He conducted the enterprise alone until 1856, when he added a stock of groceries and admitted Mr. Rodgers to a partnership. They carried on business in an old building that stood on Market street on the west side of the square, where the Smith jewelry store is now located. In 1857, Mr. Blattner formed a partnership with Lewis Greutz and David Newbrand and build a brewery on the corner of C avenue and L street, calling the new enterprise the Oskaloosa Brewery. It was successful from the start and was probably the first brewery plant in the state. The meat and pork-packing business was also continued until 1859. In 1860, Lewis Greutz died and Mr. Blattner purchased his interest in the brewery, at which time the firm name of Blattner & Newbrand was then assumed, the senior partner continued actively in business up to the time of his death. (December 1870) The brewery business was then continued under the management of a nephew, Charles Blattner, Mr. Newbrand retaining his interest in the business until his death in June, 1877. Charles Blattner remained as manager until the passage of the prohibition law, after which, in the fall of 1888, the concern had to close its doors. In the meantime, in 1881, the firm of Blattner & Newbrand embarked in the wholesale and retail ice business, continuing under the same management until the death of Charles Blattner on the 21st of April, 1891. In that year, the management was placed in the hands of Frederick Blattner (son of Charles F. Blattner) of this review by the purchase of the Or International Genealogical Indexnal proprietors, and he continued the business from the spring of 1891 until the fall of 1893, when he purchased the interest of Mrs. David Newbrand. The business was then conducted under the style of the Blattner Ice Company until August, 1894, when Frederick Blattner purchase the interest of his mother and also the undivided interest of his sisters and brothers, which made him sole proprietor of the ice business. In the meantime the firm had been acting as agents for the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company of St. Louis, which agency Mr. Blattner (Frederick) continued under the mulet law of the state. On the 1st of December, 1903, he discontinued the ice business, turning it over for a consideration in stock to the Oskaloosa Artificial Ice & Cold Storage Company. Charles F. Blattner was a public-spirited and enterprising citizen, who enjoyed the thorough respect of his neighbors and many friends and the confidence of the business community, for in all of his dealing he was thoroughly reliable and straight forward. He held membership with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, becoming a charter member of Mahaska Lodge. His political allegiance was given to the democracy. He was married in Cincinnati to Elizabeth Miller, who was born (also?) in Biron, Germany.
