| Description |
Egmont Inger, son and partner of lithographer Christian Inger, was born ca. 1833 in Germany. Although he did not immigrate
to the U.S. on the same ship as his father in 1854, Inger resided in Philadelphia by 1854 when he went before the city's Court
of Common Pleas to become a naturalized citizen on April 11. Inger partnered with his father to operate Inger & Son at 123
South Third Street and 429 Walnut Street in 1859. By 1869, he worked in New York City, where he patented a "sad-iron holder"
that year, and in 1871, worked as an engraver and lithographer with Charles Inger (family relationship undetermined) at 45
Chatham Street. He remained in New York until at least the mid-1880s; a New York City directory indicates that Inger lived
at 515 1/2 Pearl Street in 1884.

In Philadelphia, Inger resided in Northern Liberties and had three daughters: Anna (b. 1860), Flora (b. 1862) and Rosa (b.
1864). The family moved to Hoboken, New Jersey by July 1870.
