View a history of Terre Haute.
Under this head we propose to give extended biographies or personal sketches of a large number of the leading citizens of Terre Haute and vicinity, not only of early settlers, but also of the more modern. The items have been obtained, as far as possible, from the parties themselves, or their intimate friends, and are believed to be perfectly reliable. Many of the subjects have already been mentioned in the preceding pages, but we believe it will add vastly to our work as a book of reference and as a basis for the future historian, to give to this department a most minute detail. As far as practicable, the sketches have been arranged in chronological order or rather than in the order of coming to the township or county.--[Ed.

W.E. McGREW, druggist, Terre Haute, of the firm of W.E. McGrew & Co., is a native of Sullivan county, Indiana. The name of McGREW is of Scotch origin. His ancestors were among the early settlers of Sullivan county, their location there dating back to 1803. The following quotation relating to the grandfather of W.E. McGREW is from the secretary’s report of the meeting of the Old Settlers Association of Sullivan county: "Col. LEDGERWOOD came to Sullivan county with his family from Franklin county, Kentucky, in 1803, and camped near CORRY’s farm south of Carlisle, and it can be said that he is the ‘oldest settler’ living in Sullivan county, and a member of the first family that settled within the limits of this county. The colonel states that at the breaking out of hostilities between the Indians and whites about one half of the families then living near Carlisle left and did not return until after peace was declared. He was in Gen. HARRISON’s army, and was at the battle of Tippecanoe. When he came to Sullivan county, then Knox, there were no roads, and the only means of travel at that day was by pack horses." W.E. has had about fourteen years’ experience in the drug trade, though he has spent but about four years of the time in Terre Haute. His establishment is on the corner of Walnut and Third streets. The premises occupied are 30x40 feet, where, in the few years that they have been doing business, the firm of W.E. McGrew & Co. has become widely known and well patronized.

In the spring of 1880 he was appointed by the county commissioners to the office of county attorney of Vigo county, an appointment approved by the press and people of Vigo county. Impressed with the magnitude of the difficulties to be overcome, the judge at the outset recognized the fact that hard and comprehensive study alone would enable him to surmount them. How well he applied himself to the task his successful career has since proven.

JOHN C. MYER, farmer, Terre Haute, was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, in 1828, where he received a good education, and at twenty-one years of age was drafted into the army, where he served until he was twenty-five years of age, and in 1852 came to America, and first located in Cincinnati, and engaged to work for a railroad company, which he continued until 1856. He then removed to Terre Haute, Indiana, where he began working by the month on a farm, and this he followed until 1859, when he began farming for himself, first renting for some time and in 1868 buying the farm that he now owns, paying $10,000 for it. For this and $2,000 which he got behind on rent he went in debt, but by never-tiring industry and good financiering he has not only paid the $12,000, but he has built a fine residence and other buildings. He took the farm in a poor state of cultivation, but at this writing his farm is one among the finest improved farms in Vigo county, and the credit is due Mr. MYER. He is a member of the A.F. and A.M. and has passed all the chairs in Odd-Fellowship. In 1852 he was united in marriage to Miss C.P. BLUM, who was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, in 1831, and came to America in 1852.

PHIL NEWHART, of the firm of Newhart & Greimer, is a native of Bavaria, Germany. He was born in 1829, and at the age of twenty-one years emigrated to the United States. He spent the first three years of his time after arrival in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was engaged at stocking plows. In the spring of 1853 he went to California, where he remained until 1857, engaged in mining. On his return to the states in 1857 he became a resident of Terre Haute, where he has since resided. His first business enterprise in Terre Haute was to engage in the grocery business the first year of his arrival in company with a Mr. WEISS. They continued to do business together for ten years, though the last year and a half before they dissolved partnership they had begun the manufacture of plows. This business he continued after the dissolution of partnership until 1877, when he began the manufacture of cornmeal in a small way. Since then he has gradually increased the business, and taken up the making of hominy and grits. In 1879 his business had become so extensive that he took a partner, the firm now being Newhart & Greimer. They are giving employment to about fifteen men. The mill is now fitted up with a twenty-five horse-power engine and two run of buhrs, with a capacity of grinding 1,000 bushels of corn every twenty-four hours. They are making seven different brands of hominy and grits, which find a market in almost every direction from the city. They keep no traveling men on the road, their business being done principally by corresponding. Theirs is already quite an important item in the list of factories of the city of Terre Haute. Should they continue to increase their business in the future as rapidly as they have in the past they will soon become one of the large manufacturing firms for which Terre Haute is already becoming quite famous.

JAMES NICHOLS, grocer, Terre Haute, is another of the natives of England who may be numbered among the successful business men of Terre Haute. He was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1843, was educated there, and before emigrating to the United States, in 1865, he had partially learned the trade of a weaver of woolen fabrics, which, upon his arrival at Terre Haute, to which place he came direct, he finished with his uncle, Geo. F. ELLIS, proprietor of the Wabash Woolen Mills. He remained a resident of Terre Haute about five years, and then went west, and for about three years he was located in Missouri, near the Indian Territory line, where he was engaged in the woolen business. Returning to Terre Haute, he accepted the position of receiving clerk in the wholesale grocery house of H. HULMAN, with whom he remained about five years, and only left his position to engage in business for himself. He has now been engaged in the grocery trade on his own account for about three years. He purchased the property Nos. 400 and 402 South First street, where he has recently been enlarging his business house to do justice to his increasing trade. His business house now is 37 feet front by 50 feet deep. Mr. NICHOLS is one of that class of business men who have been dependent upon their own resources, and who, in the building up of a good trade, have done so in spite of all opposition and competition. In 1867 Mr. NICHOLS was married to Miss Mary A. KIRTLY, and they have three children, two sons and one daughter. Mr. NICHOLS is free to admit that much of his success in his present business is due to the energy and good business ability of his wife, who spends much of her time in the store.

J.H. O'BOYLE, dealer in leather and shoe findings, Terre Haute, has been a resident of the Wabash valley since 1836, and a resident of Terre Hatue since 1850. He is a native of Frederick county, Virginia, his home and birthplace being about nine miles from the city of Manchester. At the age of eleven years he was bound out to a gentleman in Hampshire county, Virginia, to learn the trade of a tanner. He remained with the party until he was twenty-one years old, serving an apprenticeship of nine years. In 1836 he located at Middletown, a small place in the southwest part of Vigo county. In 1838 he removed to Merom, Sullivan county, Indiana, and in 1850 he became a resident of Terre Haute, where in 1857 he began business in his present line of trade. He at first began a retail business, but has gradually increased his stock and facilities for doing business, until for some time he has been doing both a wholesale and retail business.

FRED OHM, grocer, No. 1200 South Second street, Terre Haute, is another of the energetic and enterprising business men of that part of the city. His store is neat, well stocked, and pleasantly situated on the corner of Second and Vine streets, and is entirely the result of his own energies, as his whole capital, when arriving at Terre Haute in 1868, was twenty-five cents. He is a native of Germany, from whence he emigrated to the United States, and, as stated, came to Terre Haute in 1868, where he remained about two years, and then went to Marshall, Illinois. There he made his home for a few years, and again came to Terre Haute, where he spent about three years as clerk in his present line of business. He then embarked in business on his own account, feeling confident that he was capable of success. The result has proven the correctness of his decision, as now, though he is not doing the most extensive business in the city, he is still doing one that any man might feel pleased with whose capital in 1868 was twenty-five cents. He is a member of Goethe Lodge, No. 382, I.O.O.F. He is a citizen in good standing, and certain of success in the future, if the past may be taken as a criterion.
