I wondered if you'd be interested in giving *my* mystery occupation a whirl:

http://content.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=7602&path=Missouri.Howell.Willow+Springs.62.16&fn=Albert&ln=Van%20Hoesen&st=r&pid=29598397&rc=&zp=75

for Robert Van Hoesen, line 14.

The image on HeritageQuest is darker, but I don't know if it's any easier to
read. It looks like ?ellerman.

The family lived right near the railroad depot, and later in life, he became
a jeweler/watchmaker. His father was mostly a shoemaker (as he is here).

Thanks.

Patti
