 Louis C. Graeter had a childhood with many events. As a child in the mid 1800's Louis C. Graeter's family emigrated from Bavaria, Germany and finally ended up in Cincinnati, Ohio. When he soon seeked work he was hired and started working at a small market located at the bottom of Sycamore Hill. His job was to make handmade ice cream and because ice cream was a rare and valued treat he had to freeze it without a later invented mechanized freezer. The secret was to freeze the handmade cream with rock salt and ice. =====
