He attended the country schools of that locality and a private school taught by a Professor Fitzgerald in Cleveland. After completing his studies he was employed as a clerk for five years in grocery and confectionery stores in the Forest City. In 1861 he located in Akron and on March 1 of that year engaged in business as a confectioner, opening a store at No. 137 South Howard street. For seven and a half years he remained its proprietor, building up a large trade, and in 1868 established an insurance office at the corner of Main and Market streets, remaining at that location for a quarter of a century. He specialized in fire insurance and subsequently organized the firm of John Memmer & Son continuing at its head until his death which occurred in 1910, when he was seventy years of age. His ability, enterprise and integrity made him a leader in that field of activity, and he was also a director of the Central Savings Bank & Trust Company and president of the Odd Fellows Temple Company of Akron.On August 22, 1860, John Memmer married Miss Louise Boyer, who was a native of Germany and came to the United States with her parents when very young. They settled in Cleveland, Ohio, where she was reared, educated and married. Her demise occurred at Akron on the 29th of December, 1904. In their family were five children : Laura and Nellie M., who have passed away; Ida May, who is Mrs. Alexander W. Mayes of Akron; George W. Memmer; and Ella Louise, who is the wife of T. A.
