JOHN H. CLYMER of Vienna, the well known contractor and builder, who is an
important factor in promoting the growth of Johnson County, served with
credit in the great Civil War, although a mere boy when he entered the army.
He was born in Maury County, Tenn., August 3, 1843. His father, John C.
Clymer, was born in the same county, and was a son of Joseph Clymer, who was
a native of North Carolina, whence he removed to Tennessee, and spent his
last years in Maury County. The father of our subject engaged in farming in
his native State until 1851, when he came to Illinois and settled in Johnson
County. He soon commenced to work at the trade of a carpenter, and was
engaged in that trade a number of years. He is now a reseident of New
Burnside. His wife, whose maiden name was Sarah Shires, was a native of the
same county in Tennessee as himself, and her parents were David and Holly
(Harris) Shires. Mr. and Mrs. Clymer have five children: Mary, David, John H,
William and Holly.
John H. Clyner, of this biographical review, was ten years old when he
accompanied his parents to their new home in this county, the ever memorable
journey being made with a team, and the Ohio River was crossed at Golconda.
The family first moced into an old log church, and lived in that about six
months, and then removed to what is now Grantsburg Township, where our
subject passed his boyhood until the breaking out of the war. With all the
ardent partriotism of youth, he desired to take part in the great conflict in
defense of the Stars and Stripes, and October 6, 1861, found his name
enrolled as a member of Company I, Twenty-ninth Illinois Infantry, although
he was but 16 years of age. For three long and trying years he was at the
front, and earned a good name as a trusty, brave and loyal soldier. The most
important battles in which he took part were Ft. Donelson, Shiloh, the siege
of Corinth and Holly Springs. At the latter place he was captured by the
rebels, but he was immediately poroled, and for six months was at the parole
camp at St. Louis. He was then exchanged and did garrison duty at Vicksburg
until the expiration of his term of enlistment, October 6, 1864, just three
years after he entered the army.
Mr. Clymer resumed work at his trade upon his return from Southern
battlefields, and for the past twenty years has been engaged in business for
himself as a contractor and builder. For a few years he was associated with
J.G. Reese, and later with J.C. Mackey. He has erected many of the
substantial buildings of the county, and is doing a fine business, as he has
won a high reputation for solid work and square dealings, and always stands
by his contracts. He is a man of exemplsry habits, is an advocate of
temperance, and is so earnestly interested in the temperance movement that he
carries his views into his politics, and is a stanch Prohibitionist. He is
closely identified with the religious interests of the village as a member of
the Christian Church, to which his wife also belongs, and both are held in
high consideration by all around them.
Mr. and Mrs. Clymer were married in 1863. Mrs. Clymer, whose name before her
marriage was Jennie Garret, was born in this county, and is a daughter of
Thomas and Amanda (Cummings) Garrett. Her union with our subject has been
blessed with the following children: Alice Pluym, Edward, Delia Parker,
Florence, Thomas, Charlie, Walter and Holly.

Historical Background of Honor Roll
Many unusual and interesting facts concerning the Springhill Township Honor
Roll site and material used in building were revealed by Master of Ceremony,
Walter S. Rhodes, during the dedication if the Memorial.
After considering several locations, the Honor Roll committee dedicated to
purchase the present site, not only because of its natural beauty, but also
because of its historical background.
It is very near the site where the Old Iroquois Indian Trail passed across
Springhill from the Cheat River to Georges Creek from north to south. Across
the southern boundary of this plot are the scars of the once famous Sand
Spring Road, one of the first public roads in the township extending from the
Sand Springs at the top of Chestnut Ridge to the village of New Geneva at the
mouth of Georges Creek on the Monongahela Rover. Here, also, stands the
blackened trunk of the old gum tree that is know to every civil engineer of
Fayette County. About 200 yards to the north stands the historical table
marking Fort Van Swearingen of Indian warfare days.
In order to give every citizen of Springhill a chance to "add a person touch"
to the sacred monument, they were asked to bring a stone from their house or
farm, or from any historical spot within the township, to be used in the
construction. There are many homes, farms, and historical places represented
in this monument. The main capstone on which the Victorious Eagle is perched
came from the Old Iron Springhill furnace, and dates back to the year 1793
when the furnace was first constructed. Possibly the oldest stone in the
point of historical date is one from the estates of Albert Gallatin, known as
Friendship Hill. This stone dates to pre-revolutionary war days.
However, there are many more historical spots represented. Building and flag
stones from old mills, such as Hill's Mill on the Cheat River, Morton's Mill,
Larman's Mill, Whetstone's Mill, Crow's Mill, and the old French Mill, are
represented. These are all located within the Township or Georges Creek area.
Stones from old school sites and buildings which are familiar to the older
residents of the township are also a part of the monument such as Crow's
School, Skinner's Knob School, the Eberhart School, and many others.
The bulk of the stone came from the foundation of the Old Gans Hill School.
The coal industry is represented by a stone from the Fancy Hill Coal Company.
Fancy Hill is the oldest location on the B & O Railroad in Springhill which
first produced coal immediately after the railroad was completed.
Springhill Township Honor Roll was dedicated on Labor Day, Monday, September
4, 1944. There are 550 names of men who served in World War I and II. There
are 5 god stars indicating those that made the supreme sacrifice.
Among the 550 men listed on the Honor Roll the following were on there:
Albert Clemmer
Ralph M. Clemmer
Spencer L. Clemmer
Donald N. Blosser
Joseph H. Blosser
Robert M. Blosser
Lawrence W. Blosser
