JOHN D. NISWONGER,
born in 1811, in Montgomery county, Ohio, settled in Sonora,
Harrison township in 1848. He was township trustee for
several years, and ever since his arrival in Sonora has been
identified with the business interests of that place. In
1866 Mr. Niswonger, in partnership with William Leas,
started a large dry goods store, and also began purchasing
grain. Mr. Leas sold out, and Horace Niswonger,
a son, was taken into partnership. The business is now
conducted by the son, under the name of Niswonger & Son.
The business of the firm has increased rapidly and they are now
among the largest buyers of grain in the county. Horace
was postmaster at Sonora for seven or eight years. During
the war of the Rebellion he volunteered in the one hundred days'
service in the One Hundred and Fifty-sixth Ohio volunteer
infantry. Mrs. John D. Niswonger, nee
Mary Ruse, was born in Montgomery county in 1822. They
have six children. |
