ABRAHAM
O. OBERHOLTZER, hardware and jewelry, Hilliar township,
Centreburgh, Ohio, was born in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania,
in 1833. His parents came to Ohio in 1835 and settled in
Holmes county, where he spent his youth. He learned the
carpenter trade, and for some years worked during the summer and
taught school in the winter. He also farmed and worked
some in the mines, thus he was taught by his experience that
there is no royal road to success, and that he himself, in order
to reap, must "both hold and drive." He had no means with
which to begin life, so he found himself with no money when he
wished to enter into business, but with a determination to make
an effort, and with an honest purpose, he entered into business
in Waterford, Knox county. He kept a general ine of goods
and by his strict adherence to the principles of business, he
succeeded beyond his expectation. He remained in Waterford
for seven years, and in 1879, came to Centreburgh, and opened up
his present business. He carries a full line of foreign
and domestic hardware, and has a rapidly growing trade.
He was married to Miss Rebecca L. Lidball, May
20, 1858. They had a family of five children, two only of
whom are living. |
