General Notes: Husband - John Hovis Monjar
He was brought up and educated in Irwin township, receiving his early training as his father's assistant on the old Hovis property. At the time of his father's death he was twenty years old, and being the eldest of the family he assumed the responsibilities of the management of the farm except while absent on duty during the Civil war, spending about twenty years there with his mother and brother. Meantime he had also become interested in the production of oil, which eventually became his chief business, buying wells and leases which proved his superior judgment and conducting their operation on conservative lines, using his time and capital so wisely that he was considered an authority on oil territory and its development. For a number of years he was in partnership with Mr. Taylor Hoffman, and his son Samuel B. Monjar was also associated with him until his death. For about three years past Mr. Monjar has been living rather retired, though still retaining fifteen or twenty producing wells and overseeing their operation, and in December, 1918, he removed to Grove City, having relinquished all active associations. His new home is on East Pine Street. All of his oil interests have been in the vicinity of Clintonville, in which borough he made his home for eighteen years, his residence being one of the most desirable in the town. He has always been public-spirited in his support of local interests, though not active in the administration of affairs. Politically he acts with the Republican Party. [CAB, 977]
