Three years after German immigrant Adolph Wittkowsky (1832-1904) married Charleston native Susan Hyams (1840-1920), he entered a business partnership with his brother-in-law, Augustus Hyams (1847-1892), to form general merchandise business Wittkowsky & Hyams. Located on Broad Street in Camden, SC, the store sold clothing, groceries, dry goods, shoes, crockery, and other goods. Short-lived, Wittkowsky & Hyams went bankrupt in 1872.
