JOSEPH EMBREY
Joseph Embrey, a jeweler, Richwood,
is a son of Lewis and Margaret (Bell) Embrey, the former a native of
Virginia, of English descent, and the latter a native of Scotland; he
was born in Logan County, Ohio, July 1, 1856, and received his
education in the graded schools of Morrow, Warren Co., Ohio, in which
his father was engaged in plying his trade of watch-maker. He
learned the trade of a jeweler, serving a regular apprenticeship, and
in 1878 came to Richwood and established himself in business on the
corner of Main and Ottawa streets. He keeps a full line of
watches, clocks and silverware, and does all kinds of repairing in a
manner that speaks for itself. He is a Republican in politics, a
Master Mason of Mt. Carmel Lodge, No. 303, and a member of the Knights
of Pythias. He has made his own start in life and is meeting with
flattering successes in business.
