HORNEY - DARKE COUNTY A PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF DELAWARE AND RANDOLPH COUNTIES, IND. A.W. Bowen & Co., 1894 - Page 1368-1369 JAMES H. HORNEY, one of the firm of Ross & Horney, carriage manufacturers, Union City, Randolph county, Ind., is a son of John and Mary F. (Fahnestock) Horney, and was born in Darke county, Ohio, in 1860. The father, John Horney, was killed when James H. was about six months old, and in 1865 the mother moved to Union City. James H. was educated at the public schools of Union City until he was fifteen years old, and was then apprenticed for three years to Ross & Knapp, at carriage trimming; he next worked as journeyman and at contract work for the Union City Carriage company for six years, hiring all the help in his department, and having entire management of it; later, contracted with George W. Ross for doing all his work for three years. In 1891 he formed a partnership with Mr. Ross, under the firm name of Ross & Horney, in the manufacture of carriages, at the corner of Union and Pearl streets, but on June 27, 1893, fire destroyed the premises, causing a loss of $5,000, of which $3,000 was on stock, the finished work alone being saved. The firm now occupy the Bowers and other buildings, on Columbia and Oak streets, employ ten hands, and turn out all kinds of modern stylish, high-class vehicles, that represent the progressive experience of twenty-five years in this particular line. The grandparents of Mr. Horney were among the pioneers of Ohio, and his parents were both natives of Darke county. When his father was accidentally killed he was but twenty-two years of age, and left behind two children, viz.: Minnie, now wife of William Morrow, of Union City, and James H. The marriage of James H. Horney took place in 1885 to Miss Emma Harlan, of Union City, and resulted in the birth of four children, who are named May, Herschel, Howard and Gertrude. Mr. Horney is a member of the I.O.O.F., holds the respect of his fellow citizens and is recognized as an industrious, skillful workman and courteous gentleman. In politics he is a republican. ------------------------------ X-Message: #6 Date: Sun, 9 May 1999 18:53:06, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) Subject: PETER J. WIESE - DARKE COUNTY A PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF DELAWARE AND RANDOLPH COUNTIES, IND. A.W. Bowen & Co., 1894 - Page 1436 PETER J. WIESE, of Union City, is a son of Ferdinand and Gertrude (Belke) Wiese, and was born in Darke county, Ohio, December 21, 1843. He was reared on a farm until eighteen, but had very good opportunities for an education. He first attended the schools in Darke county, then a German school at Piqua, Ohio, and next learned bookkeeping at a commercial college at Dayton, ohio, and in 1863 began to learn telegraphy in the office of the Bee Line company at Union City, Ind. In November, 1866, he entered the employ of the same company as night operator, and worked at Marion, Sidney, Anderson, Fortville and Indianapolis, until May, 1872, when he became train dispatcher on the Indianapolis division; was promoted to chief dispatcher in January, 1881, and held the position until September, 1892, when he was made trainmaster on the Indianapolis division of the "Big 4" for a distance of 202 miles, having charge of all movements of freight, conductors and brakemen, and during his services for twenty years has never cost the company the loss of one cent by disaster. He has at present supervision over thirty-nine crews, averaging three men each, and over thirty-nine trains daily, with the assistance of one clerk. Mr. Wiese was married in 1871 to Miss Angie, daughter of John and Maria J. (Williams) Brewster, of Fortville, Ind., and to this marriage has been born one son -Frank J., at home. The parents of Mr. Wiese were both natives of Prussia, who crossed the ocean to Maryland in 1835, and in 1837 migrated to Ohio, where they settled in the woods in Darke county, cleared up the land, made two farms and reared a family of four children, of whom Peter J. is the youngest. The father, Ferdinand Wiese, died in 1861 at the age of sixty-five years, but the mother, Gertrude (Belke) Wiese, survived until 1872, when she was called away at the age of seventy-three. They were members of the Catholic church of Union City, and were liberal in their contributions to the erection of the first Catholic church in that place. Joseph Wiese, the eldest brother of Peter J. (our subject), now lives on the home farm; Elizabeth, a sister, is the wife of John Altenbach, a farmer, and Catherine, who was the wife of P.G. Kennedy, died in 1877. Peter J. Wiese is democratic in politics, and he and his wife are members of the Catholic church. Mr. Wiese is one of the leading and most trusted employes in the employ of the "Big 4 railway company, as may be inferred from what has been said above. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V99 Issue #287 *******************************************
