Peter Schlueter, proprietor of the Five Points Meat-Market, wholesale and retail dealer in meats and ice, corner 15th Street and Seventh Avenue, Moline, was born in Flensberg, Germany, Oct. 20, 1840, and is the son of Peter and Mary Schlueter. He learned the butcher's trade, at which he served a regular apprenticeship, under the strict rules of his native country.
Mr. Schlueter formed a matrimonial alliance Aug. 10, 1861, with Miss Catharine Peterson, daughter of Peter Peterson. Mrs. Schlueter was born in Flensberg, Germany, Aug. 31, 1839, and the issue of their union is four children,—Peter, born at Flensberg, Germany, Jan. 23, 1863, now assisting his father in his extensive business at Moline; Tina M., born March 31, 1865, and Mary and Christian (twins), born March 12, 1869.
Mr. Schlueter emigrated to America in July, 1867, and located at Davenport, Iowa, where he engaged extensively in butchering. He carried on the wholesale sheep-butchering business, by which he supplied the markets of Davenport, Rock Island, Moline, Galesburg and other towns. In 1872 he removed to Moline and established his present market known as the Five Points. Being a thorough master of his business and plenty of capital, he has been enabled to carry on his business on a large scale and with marked success.
His market always contains a full assortment of fresh, salted and smoked meats. In the latter he has quite a large wholesale trade. In 1878, without interruption to his regular business, he engaged extensively in the wholesale ice trade. Mr. Schlueter erected large ice-houses of great capacity and in favorable seasons shipped as high as 1,000 car-loads of ice to most Southern markets. His trade in this line extends into Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Kansas, Ohio and Kentucky. The Five Points market does the largest business in the city
in that line, and well deserves its great popularity.
In all his undertakings, Mr. Schlueter is ably assisted by his industrious and capable children. Mr. Schlueter and his wife made a visit to their old home in Europe during the past summer.
