John W. Miner
(1870-1963)

 

John W. Miner

John W. Miner was born on March 14, 1870 near New Rumley, Harrison County, OH, the son of William and Rachel (Simmons) Miner

Although he was age six at the time, John certainly would have heard the news when New Rumley's most famous sons, General George C. Custer and his brothers were slain in action at the Battle of Little Big Horn in June 1876. He undoubtedly heard many stories from older neighbors about knowing the General and that they liked the General's younger brother Thomas better. Ironically, John's cousin, Rebecca Minerd, was romantically involved with the brother Thomas Custer and produced a child out of wedlock.

John in boyhood also watched Conestoga wagons going west while he sat perched on a fence near his home in Scio.

John was a popular merchant, and at one time was proprietor of a store in Scio, near New Rumley. An inventory document of the store still exists. 

He is believed to be the same man holding a mortar board of plaster in the photo seen here, found in the collection of his father's cousin, Jemima (Minerd) Burditt, of Tontogany, Wood County, OH. Note the green color of the cardboard onto which the image is attached, made by photographer Alvin B. Warfel of Cadiz, Harrison County.

On Nov. 16, 1897, at the age of 27, John married 24-year-old Mildred Irene Ryel (Dec. 5, 1873-1926), the daughter of Franklin B. and Julie E. (Thompson) Ryel of North Ridgeville, OH. Her parents did not approve of the marriage. 

They had met by corresponding via mail, when Mildred was living at Strongsville, Cuyahoga County, OH. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Winers. Shortly afterward, reported the Cadiz (OH) Republican

They arrived home on Thursday and the following evening were serenaded by the band. Mr. Miner is a prominent business man at this place and is one among the most highly esteemed young men of New Rumley. The writer, with many others, wishes them a happy future. 

John and Mildred had five children -- Harold Wendell Miner, Gerald Miner, Hertha Wittenbrook, Metta Iona Wise and Verdie Julia Welsh.

When the federal census was taken in 1900, John, Mildred and infant son Harold resided together in the village of New Rumley. John's widowed mother Rachel, age 56, lived a house or two away.

 

The Miners' home near Alliance

Sadly, eldest son Harold died just 10 days after his first birthday, on May 22, 1901, of a case of spinal meningitis lasting just 24 hours. He was buried near his grandfather Miner at the United Brethren Cemetery at New Rumley. The news was carried in the Republican.

The Miners moved to Bergholz, in Jefferson County, OH during the decade of the 1900s. They are enumerated there on the federal census enumeration of 1910, with John working as a car inspector on the railroad. The census taker recorded that John's father, born in Ohio, was of "Duch" heritage.

In about 1914, the family migrated again to Bolton, near Alliance, Stark County, OH. Just outside of town, they purchased a home. Their daughter Verdie walked to school in Alliance, about two miles away.

 

John as a trolleyman

In 1917, John's mother passed away. He and his brother William published a "Thanks to Friends" notice in the Republican. The article said that they "desire to thank the friends and neighbors for their kindness during the sickness and death of their mother... They also wish that any one owing Mrs. Miner, or any one to whom she might be indebted, would see John Miner immediately." 

The family's home in 1920, as shown on the census, was on Marlboro Street near Alliance. John's occupation was listed as "motorman - electric car."

Sadly, Mildred became deathly ill in 1925. According to family stories, her mother sent for her to be brought to a hospital in Cleveland. 

There, she passed away on Oct. 10, 1926. She was buried in Fields Cemetery located in her mother's birthplace, North Ridgeville, Lorain County, OH. Due to the Ryels' opposition to the marriage, Mildred was buried under her maiden name, even though she had been wed to John for 27 years, and had borne five children.

Daughter Verdie, age 11 at the time, was the only child remaining in the family home.

Devasted by his loss, John worked as a conductor on the trolley line in Alliance, employed by the Stark Electric Company. He retired in about 1936. Sadly, they ended up losing ownership of their home, and he and Verdie were forced to rent.

The couple together bore three children -- Vernon Wittenbrook, Mildred V. "Millie" Wittenbrook and Merle Clayton Wittenbrook.

When the federal census enumeration was made in 1930, the Wittenbrooks dwelled in Alliance, Stark County. Nile earned a living that year as a painting contractor.

The 1940 United States Census shows the family remaining in Alliance, with Nile laboring for the Works Progress Administration. The WPA was one of the ways President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the federal government tried to overcome unemployment during the Great Depression and is widely considered one of the Roosevelt's largest and most ambitious undertakings of his "New Deal" to get the nation back on sound economic footing. Over the years, the WPA hired millions of out-of-work individuals to build public works projects, such as roads, bridges, retaining walls and buildings.
