ADAMS - MAHONING COUNTY Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII History of Ohio The American Historical Society, Inc., 1925 Volume IV, page 192 JOSEPH M. ADAMS is one of the substantial business men of his native city of Youngstown, where he is treasurer and manager of the Garland Block and Sand Company, which controls a large and prosperous business in the manufacturing of concrete blocks for architectural uses and in the handling of sand and gravel. In the busier summer season the company retains an average force of about twenty-five employees, and in the winters but slight reductions is made in this force. Mr. Adams was born at Youngstown, on the 4th of March, 1877, and is a son of Adam and Minnie (Grim) Adams, who were children at the time of the immigration of the respective families from Germany to the United States, both having been reared in Youngstown and their marriage having here been solemnized. Adam Adams gave the major part of his active career to the stone-quarry industry, and since his death, in 1902, his widow has continued to maintain her home in Youngstown, where she is an earnest communicant of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, as was also her husband. The early education of Joseph M. Adams was acquired in the parochial and public schools of Youngstown, and as a lad of fifteen years he gained his initiatory experience in farm work, to which he continued to give his attention four years. Thereafter he was independently engaged in the stone-quarry business seven years, and during the ensuing sixteen years he was a successful mason contractor in his native city and county. He then became an active executive of the company of which he is now the treasurer and general manager, as noted in the opening paragraph of this review. In politics he supports men and measures, rather than being constrained by strict partisan lines, and he and his wife are zealous communicants of the parish of St. Joseph's Catholic Church. In August, 1900, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Adams and Miss Mary Riley, who was born in Pennsylvania and whose parents, John B. and Mary Riley, were born in Ireland. The home circle of Mr. and Mrs. Adams still includes all of their children, namely: Helen, Theresa, Estella, Theodore and William. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 11:24:30, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199909211524.LAA14954@mime3.prodigy.com> Subject: WILLIAM P. HUGHES - MAHONING COUNTY Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII History of Ohio The American Historical Society, Inc., 1925 Volume IV, page 192-193 WILLIAM P. HUGHES. Modern methods have eliminated much of the drudgery of housekeeping and simplified the work of the homemaker. In nothing are these changes more apparent than in the removing from the home the burden of laundry work by the well organized concerns which perform this class of work efficiently and at modern prices. Youngstown is the home of a number of these concerns, but none of them stands higher in popular favor than does the Youngstown Sanitary Laundry Company, of whom the capable general manger is William P. Hughes of this review, a practical man in the business. William P. Hughes was born in South Wales, January 4, 1893, a son of David and Mary (Davis) Hughes, who, although they have made several trips of different duration to the Untied States, still reside in Wales, where he follows his calling as a mining engineer. Carefully educated in his native land, William P. Hughes supplemented his high-school studies with a course in accountancy. In 1912 he came to Canada, and for two years served as office manager of a dairy business at Edmonton. In 1914 he came to Ohio, and for three months was bookkeeper for the East Ohio Gas Company of Youngstown, leaving that position to become chief clerk for the P. & O. Electric Company of this city. With the entry of this country into the World war he enlisted in the Untied States Army, and was assigned to the Three Hundred and Sixteenth Infantry. For the first month he was at Camp Meade, Maryland, but was then transferred to Fort Niagara, New York. A month later he was sent to Camp Raritan, New Jersey. Subsequently he was transferred to the intelligence branch of the service, and assigned to New York City, where he remained until in January, 1919, when he was honorably discharged as a first sergeant. Returning to Youngstown, he was with the Republic Rubber Company for six months as one of its credit men, and then became office manage of his present company. After a year he was made secretary and treasurer, and in 1923 became general manager. On September 15, 1918, he married Miss Jane Williams, born at Youngstown, a daughter of W.P. and Mary (Owens) Williams, natives of Wales. Mr. Hughes is a republican. He belongs to the Epworth Methodist Episcopal Church of Youngstown. His fraternal connections are with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Masonic Order, and he has been advanced in the latter through the thirty-second degree. He also belongs to the Lions Club, the Kiwanis Club and the Youngstown Auto Club, and is thoroughly progressive man of many interests. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #4 Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 11:24:20, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199909211524.LAA14906@mime3.prodigy.com> Subject: JACOB F. GIERING - MAHONING COUNTY Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII History of Ohio The American Historical Society, Inc., 1925 Volume IV, page 191 JACOB F. GIERING became a resident of Youngstown, Ohio, in the year following that of his birth, which occurred at New Castle, Pennsylvania, on the 27th of July, 1869. His parents, Louis and Mary (Andler) Giering, were born and reared in Wurttemberg, Germany, where their marriage was solemnized and whence they came in 1864 to the United States and establishing their residence at New Castle, Pennsylvania, the father having there continued to follow his trade, that of cooper, until 1870, when he came with his family to Ohio and established himself in the cooperage business in Youngstown, which then gave slight semblance of the important industrial city which it is to-day. He developed a substantial business in the manufacturing of barrels, casks and similar products, and the enterprises grew to such scope as to require his employment of several workmen. He eventually expanded the enterprise to include the manufacturing and distributing of wine, and various aerated beverages now commonly designated as "soft drinks," besides adding to his business a general bottling works. He was long numbered among the sterling and successful business men of Youngstown, and was one of its venerable and honored citizens at the time of his death, in 1914. His widow, now (1924) eighty-eight years of age, still maintains her home in Youngstown. She is an earnest member of the German Reformed Church, as was also her husband. Jacob F. Giering attended the public schools of Youngstown until he was twelve years old, and thereafter attended night schools and a business college, in the meanwhile being closely associated with his father's business and familiarizing himself with its varied details. Thus he was well fortified for the successful continuing of the business when he purchased the same from his father, in 1896. He carried forward the enterprise until 1912, when he sold the same to his brother, the late Charles C. Giering, to whom a memoir is dedicated on other pages of this publication. Six months later he purchased property in the City of Alliance, Stark County, where he erected and equipped a bottling plant and operated the same two years. He then sold the property and business and returned to Youngstown. Here he became associated with his brother, Charles C., in building the local Coca Cola Plant on Mahoning Avenue, as a subsidiary of the bottling works owned by his brother and founded by their father. After two years the brothers sold the property on Mahoning Avenue and removed the plant to Sharon, Pennsylvania. After having there conducted the business three months Jacob F. Giering returned to Youngstown, but he soon made a visit to California, and upon coming back to Youngstown he assumed charge of the old established bottling works with which the family name had long been identified, his brother Charles C., owner of the business, having died February 11, 1923. On the 1st of January, 1924, Mr. Giering incorporated this business under the title of the J.F. Giering Bottling Company, and of this corporation he has since been the president, while Clyde E. Wood holds the dual office of secretary and treasurer. The company is incorporated with a capital stock of $50,000 for the manufacturing, bottling and distributing of carbonated beverages, the trade of the company having been extended throughout the greater part of Eastern Ohio. Mr. Giering is a loyal and public-spirited citizen, is a democrat in political allegiance, and is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and the Knights of the Golden Eagle. For more than thirty years he sang with the he Youngstown Mannerchor, and of this fine organization he is still a member. He and his family hold membership in the German Reformed Church. In 1892 Mr. Giering was united in marriage with Miss Rachel Barnickle, who was born and reared at Sharon, Pennsylvania, and they have one son and five daughters: Julia is the wife of William Holtzman, of Youngstown; Gertrude is the wife of Merritt Sharp, and they reside at Long Beach, California; Helen is the wife of Ernest Keller, of Youngstown; Carrie is the wife of Russell Landale, of this city; Dorothy, who remains at the parental home, is a graduate nurse and is following the work of her profession, and Alfred is associated with his father's business. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #5 Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 11:24:24, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199909211524.LAA05466@mime3.prodigy.com> Subject: CHARLES C. GIERING - MAHONING COUNTY Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII History of Ohio The American Historical Society, Inc., 1925 Volume IV, page 192 CHARLES C. GIERING was a resident of Youngstown, Mahoning County, during his entire life. Here he became successful in his business activities, and here he so ordered his course as to merit and receive the confidence and esteem of the community that ever represented his home and to which he was loyal in the fullest sense. Mr. Giering was born at Youngstown on the 27th of November, 1876, and here his death occurred February 11, 1923. He was a son of Louis and Mary (Andler) Giering and his father long operated bottling works in Youngstown as one of the substantial and honored citizens of the Mahoning County metropolis. The subject of this memoir attended the public schools until he was thirteen years old, and thereafter, while employed in his father's bottling works, advanced his education by attending night school besides completing a course in a business college. At the age of twenty-two years he purchased a half interest in the bottling works of his brother Jacob, and this fraternal and business partnership continued twelve years. Charles C. then purchased his brother's interest, and thereafter he successfully conducted the business in an individual way until shortly before his death. He was a director of the Ohio State Bottlers Association, and held various official positions in this organization. He was a valued member of the Youngstown Chamber of Commerce and was a charter member of the Youngstown Automobile Association. In the York Rite of the Masonic fraternity his maximum affiliation was with the local commandery of Knights Templars and in the Consistory of the Scottish Rite at Cleveland he received the thirty-second degree, besides being a noble of the Mystic Shrine. He was affiliated also with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Knights of Pythias and the Fraternal Orders of Eagles. In politics he was a democrat with independent proclivities, and in his native city he was an active member of the First Reformed Church, as is also his widow. September 6, 1913, marked the marriage of Mr. Giering and Miss Lottie Meredith, who was born at Marietta, Ohio, April 3, 1887, and who is a daughter of George and Amy (Carver) Meredith, both of whom likewise are natives of Ohio, where they now maintain their home in the City of Springfield. Mr. Giering is survived also by three children, whose names and respective dates of birth are here recorded: Louis Jacob, August 24, 1914; Alice Marie, July 9, 1916; and Charles Noble, November 3, 1922. The devoted husband and father died about three months after the birth of the younger of the two sons. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #6 Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 17:04:48 -0700 From: "Hancock's" To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199909212205.RAA13588@link2000.net> Subject: Obit: Addie WATSON FITZPATRICK Butler Co.
