There was a soap boiler, I remember, once, at Liege.

The resemblance of a rich financier to a soap boiler whom I had known in Liege once brought about a most satisfactory result.

During the next decade the family moved to Glasgow, and Duncan became an apprentice soap boiler with Neil Mathieson and Company.

The sixth of ten children, he was brought up in the strict Lutheran creed of his father Adolf Gottlieb Friedrich, a candle-maker and soap boiler.

He was trained as a soap boiler in Glasgow and later moved to become a foreman at a soap and alkali factory in Runcorn, Cheshire.

Upon moving to Boston, he took up the trade of tallow chandler and soap boiler because the trade he was born to was not in demand in New England.

The name Siebengebirge emerged from the word Siedengebirge which indicated the presence of soap boilers ("Seifensieder"), who were banned from the valleys because boiling soap smelled so bad.
