J. A Chew |
J.
A. CHEW, general manager of The
Chew Publishing Company of Xenia, publishers of the
Evening Daily Gazette and the Morning Daily
Republican was born at Xenia on July 10, 1882, son of
William Brown and Anna V. (McBurney) Chew, both of whom
are still living at Xenia, where for many years William
Brown Chew has been associated with his father, the
venerable James Parker Chew, in the newspaper and
publishing business, both members of the Chew
Publishing Company, further reference to which and to the
growth and development of the Xenia Gazette is set
out in a biographical sketch relating to the elder Chew
presented elsewhere in this volume.
Reared at Xenia, J. A. Chew received his
schooling in the schools of that city and in the Ohio
Military Institute at Cincinnati, after which he began work
for his father in the job-printing and publishing business,
consolidated under the firm name of The Aldine Publishing
House. In 1906 he became a partner of his father in
the business, and successfully managed the affairs of the
company until 1912 when he assumed the general managership
of the Daily Gazette. In August, 1915, Mr.
Chew organized the Chew Publishing Company with
seventy thousand dollars capital and purchased both the
Daily Gazette and the opposition paper, the Daily
Republican, both of which are published separately by
his company under the titles of the Evening Gazette
and the Morning Republican. Mr. Chew is
president and treasurer of the company. His venerable
grandfather continues as editor of both papers.
On Oct. 26, 1904, J. A. Chew was united in
marriage to Jessie R. Baker, who also was born at
Xenia, daughter of W. R. Baker, further mention of
whom is made elsewhere in this volume, and to this union two
children have been born, Florence B., born on May 19,
1907, and Anna Katherine, Apr. 22, 1915.
