*1870: Henry Peter Bosse settles in [[Chicago]] upon emigrating to the United States. He finds employment in the [[stationery]] business. By the 1880s Bosse is employed as a draughtsman and cartographer with the [[United States Army Corps of Engineers|Army Corps of Engineers]] at [[Rock Island, Illinois]].
