    Joseph Patterson Mettler. One of the very prominent men of Harrison, was the
late Joseph Patterson Mettler, who was mayor of this city for some time, and
where, for nearly fifteen years, he conducted a high-class clothing concern. He
was born in Franklin county, Indiana, November 10, 1858, a son of George W. and
Amanda (Scoggins) Mettler, well-known agriculturists of that county. He received
his education in the public schools of his native township and later attended
the National Normal College at Lebanon, Ohio. After leaving school he followed
the farming business on the old homestead, until 1877, when he came to Harrison,
Ohio, where he engaged in the hardware business. After continuing in this for
two years he sold the business and conducted a fine clothing store for nearly
fifteen years. Later he engaged in the real estate business until he retired, in
1900. Politically, Mr. Mettler was a stanch Democrat, and when he was elected
mayor of the city, filled his high office in a wise and business-like manner,
and many of the present improvements were either inaugurated or completed by
him. He was also clerk of the township for several years. Fraternally, Mr.
Mettler was a member of the Knights of Pythias, and in religious affiliations,
attended the Presbyterian church. On September 28, 1886, Mr. Mettler married
Miss Anna Schindler, who was born in Harrison, Ohio, a daughter of Wenzel and
Josephine (Procher) Schindler. Both Mr. and Mrs. Schindler have passed away. She
is a graduate of the Harrison High School class of 1881. In conclusion, it may
be said that in Mr. Mettler's demise, which took place August 14, 1919, his
family and friends, lost a valued intimate, and the community, one of its most
loved and honored citizens.
