General Notes: Husband - John Strickler Newmyer

---

He received his education in the public schools near his home and worked on the home farm until 1880, when the father and son, as Newmyer & Sons, mined and coked the coal from under the farm known as the Cora mines, operating forty-two coke ovens. In the spring of 1892, having exhausted the coal at the home plant, John S. went to Perry township and purchased the Washington tract of land of over two thousand acres. He built fifty coke ovens. He also had a shaft sunk and hoist set, and built a few houses. In July he made application for a charter for the Washington Coal and Coke Company, and in August the company began operations, with Mr. Newmyer as general manager. He also was a large stockholder and director. He was a stockholder, director and general manager of the Dawson Electric Power and Light Company; a director, stockholder and superintendent of the Washington Run R. R. Co.; a director and chairman of board of managers of the Star Supply Company; a stockholder and director in the Cochran Coal and Coke Company and shareholder and director of the First National Bank of Dawson. Socially, he was a member of the Royal Arcanum.
