Publication Title: Vincennes, Indiana, City Directory, 1928
Joseph Bey, father of subject, was born near Strasbourg, in France, July 10, 1834, came to Vincennes, Ind., when a lad of twelve years, learned the cooper's trade, rose to considerable prominence, and at his death, which resulted from hemorrhage of the lungs, February 17, 1875, was a member of the Vincennes city council, and a member of St. John's church. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Josephine Kennel, was born in New Orleans, La., May 4, 1836, and was of German descent, although her parents were born in Alsace, France, this nation having time and again held control of both Strasbourg and Alsace. Joseph and Josephine Bey were married in November, 1856, in St. John's Catholic church in Vincennes, Ind., and, in the faith of this church, after twenty eight years of membership, she died January lo, 1894. The six children, still living, born to Joseph and Josephine Bey, were educated in St. John's parochial school, received communion under the late Rev. Father Merz, and were christened, in order of birth: Anton William, John N., William J., Lawrence A., Sophia ^^'. and
Elizabeth. Of these, Anton W. married, February 16, 1897, Miss Annie Drulinger, a native of Vincennes and a daughter of Andrew Drulinger, a native of Alsace, and for the past twenty-six years a watchman in the B. & O. freight office; Lawrence A. married Miss Mary Fritch, daughter of Benjamin Fritch, of Vincennes, while the other brothers and sisters of subject remain unmarried.
The early business years of Anton W. Bey were passed as a traveling salesman, first for a (Juiiicy, 111., house, for which he canvassed southern Iowa and northern Michigan, and then for a St. Louis firm throughout the south and north from New Orleans to St. Paul, working for six years, about equally divided between the two firms. This road experience of course gave him a keen insight into mercantile affairs, which has been brought to bear in the management of his present firm. In 1890 the firm of Bey Bros, was established at the corner of Main and Seventh streets, Vincennes, and April i.:, 1894, the firm of A. W. Bey & Bros, was founded at No. 120 Main street, of which the subject has the entire charge, and which carries a full line of groceries, shoes, notions, etc., making one of the best displays in the city. The two firms give employment to seven clerks, and the four brothers themselves have but little time to spare from attending to their numerous customers. The brothers rank among the most substantial business men of Vincennes and this position has been reached through their personal efforts, as they inherited nothing that is invested in their enterprises, but earned their capital through early diligence and industry.
Anton W. Bey and wife are members of St. John's German Catholic church, to which the remainder of the Bey family also belong, and all stand high in the esteem of the social circles of the city. The sisters, who are still single, are housekeepers for the unmarried brothers.
