CHAPTER XXIV: MISCELLANEOUS AN EARLY MERCHANT.
AMONG the early merchants in Muncie though not the earliest the name of Jacob Henry Wysor may with propriety be mentioned. He first came to Delaware County in 1835, locating on a farm five miles east of Muncie, with his stepfather, John Guthrie. Soon afterward, Mr. Wysor went to Illinois and Missouri, but returned in 1841 and went at once into business with George W. Garst, and, in 1842, purchased the stock of goods owned by Jack & Russey, on the site now occupied by William Lynn's shoe store, on Main street. The building previously occupied by Messrs. Jack & Russey was rather an ordinary brick, but sufficient for the purposes of trade in that day. Mr. Wysor continued in business at the same point during a part of the years 1841 and 1842. In the latter part of the year 1842, he was burned out, a portion of his stock being destroyed and the balance more or less damaged. Finally, he traded the stock for an unexpired lease of the old gristmill held by James Frazell, and thus began the milling business.
