1883 - A Little Boston Barber Blown up High

Theodore Voigt, a little German barber, was shaving at the shop of Mr. Chas. Baeumler, No. 25 Avery st. when as Star representative interviewed him. He said: "When I found that my ticket was the lucky one I did not drop my razor and stop work. When I finished I expressed my ticket to M. A. Daupin, New Orleans, La., for collection. $5,000 cash was returned to me for my $1 invested." He is a sober, industrious and prudent young man who will make good use of this wealth; was born in Marklissa, Germany; is aged 23. He has several brothers and sisters at home whom he will assist and will probably open a barder shop of his own in this city. - Boston (Mass.) Star July 26.
