brothers, who became sole proprietors in March, 1874, since which they
have built up a healthy patronage, and are now among the leading boot

was born in Columbia, Lancaster Co., Penn., Sept 9, 1835, and at the age
of 13 months, his parents brought him to Urbana, where he was raised,
and educated in the Union Schools to a good business degree. In May,
1871, he married Miss Maggie C. Dye. A native of Mechanicsburg,
Champaign Co., Ohio, but at the date of her marriage was a resident of
Madison County, Ohio.  They have had four children_Alice L., Clara,
Josephine, and the fourth, James Dye, a bright boy of 6 years 2 months
and 18 days, died April 18, 1880.
