In 1858, at the age of 1, Walter H. Chedic's family moved to Carson Valley where his father owned a food and general merchandise store. Once on his own, Walter chose the drug store trade in addition to a general merchandise business. He kept borrowing money and the drug store never did well. Finally, his business collapsed, laden in debt. After taking a few years to recover, he continued the family business with a general store.
