General Notes: Husband - Jacob Ezra Wineman

---

Having acquired his education in the common schools, he entered business life at the age of sixteen years by buying and selling cattle. He became an expert buyer, so that he realized a handsome profit from his investment. In 1891 he decided to open a meat market but, having worked for the firm of Bortz and Bierer, of Greensburg, he was persuaded by them to enter into a partnership and opened a branch shop on Mill street, Greensburg, the main shop being located on Pittsburg street. The same year Mr. Bierer withdrew from the firm, and Mr. Wineman and Mr. Bortz continued the business. In 1899 Mr. Wineman purchased his present farm of one hundred acres in Hempfield township and removed to his new home the same spring. When the town of Youngwood was laid out he opened a butcher shop, and the firm began conducting markets in Greensburg and Youngwood, carrying on an extensive business as dealers in meats. Mr. Wineman also made judicious investments in property, owning real estate in both boroughs as well as his farm. He was also one of the organizers of the First National Bank of Youngwood, and served as one of its directors. He was also one of the organizers and the treasurer of the Youngwood Building and Loan Association, and he was a director of the Westmoreland county Agricultural Association. He was a Republican and belonged to the Lutheran church, in which he served as deacon for many years.
