A.W. Bowen & Co., 1894 - page 667-668 HENRY OVERMIRE is a well-to-do and contended citizen of Mount Pleasant township. He was born in Hamilton county, Ohio, July 16, 1837, being the son of Henry and Elizabeth (Espells) Overmire, both natives of Germany. They were married and came to America in 1836, landing in new York, and going thence to Cincinnati, where Mr. Overmire engaged in a foundry for three years. After this he went to Franklin county, Ind. where he employed his time in farming and shoemaking until his death, 1877. His widow lives with her daughter. The father and mother reared a family of six children, of whom three are living, namely: Henry, Elizabeth, living in Cincinnati, and Mary, wife of Joseph Groothouse, of Franklin county, Ind. The parents and other members of the family were members of the Catholic church, with the exception of Henry, who left that body, and now belongs to the Methodist denomination. Henry Overmire, when but fourteen years of age, was apprenticed to Henry Haffer, of Brookville, Ind., to learn the trade of tanner. He lived with this man two and one-half years, and then, receiving a higher offer, went to another tannery in the same place, receiving eight dollars per month, and remaining four months. He was then employed on a canal boat from Cincinnati to Larwell for a month, and after a short time spent in traveling, he engaged in the trade of tanning for over two years for a number of different employers. Later, he went to Middleton, Ind. and engaged as a tanner for a year, after which he followed the same trade with different men for three years longer. Then having made some money, he bought a small tannery in Jerome, Howard county, Ind., which he operated one year; his venture being unsuccessful, he was compelled to make an assignment, and found himself in debt after his property had been taken. Subsequently, he came to Delaware county, Ind., and worked for thirty dollars a month, one-half of which he applied on his debts, keeping the rest for himself, and living very cheaply. He came to Yorktown about that time, where he engaged with Thomas Allen & Co. as a journeyman for three years, when he and Jacob Oerther bought the tannery, and the partnership continued for three years, purchasing his partner's interest at the end of that time, and operating it alone for ten years. He owns the site upon which the tan yards stood, but no vistige of it now remains. While thus engaged Mr. Overmire also conducted a large boot and shoe and harness establishment, making up most of the leather he produced. In 1882 he enlarged his business, adding groceries, and his son, L.D. Overmier, before mentioned, was his partner. This partnership existed until 1892, when his son became sole proprietor, and the father, the subject, engaged in the harness business. He also carries gas supplies and fixtures. Mr. Overmire was president of the first gas company in Yorktown, and superintendent of the two first gas wells. He served as president four years, and is now director, treasurer and collector of the company. He was married in Howard county, Ind., in 1838 to Elizabeth Sharp, born in Delaware county, July 22, 1840, and the daughter of H.B. and Tabitha Sharp. Two children, Lewis D., mentioned elsewhere, and William M., a member of the Yorktown Novelty works, were born of this marriage. Mr. Overmire located in this county in 1862, and has since exerted himself to the advancement and interests of the county. He is a member of lodge No. 345, I.O.O.O., and in politics is an aggressive democrat, working with might and main for the success of that party. He is one of the most enterprising and active citizens of Yorktown. He is also a member of the Muncie encampment No. 74. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V99 Issue #362 *******************************************
