• Notes

  John obtained his education in the public schools, at Chamberlain Institute and at a German school in Otto, New York. After leaving school he worked first at farming, finally going to Olean, New York, where he was employed in Butler's dry goods store. In 1883 he came to Little Valley, where he first clerked in the store of E.N. Lee for about seven years, when he purchased the Rock City Hotel. He rebuilt and enlarged the building, and at the time of his death the Rock City was known as the best kept family hotel in the county. He was a Republican in politics and served on the board of education. He was a member of the Lutheran church, and of the Masonic order.
