BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:

J. C. WILSON, baggage-master P. R. R., and B., N. Y. & P. Railroad, Corry, was born December 10, 1839, in Northumberland. County.

In September, 1862, our subject enlisted in the Anderson Cavalry, where he served as non- commissioned officer until the close of the war. Mr. Wilson came to Corry December, 1865, clerking one year, then became yard-master, extra freight conductor, and in October, 1874, obtained his present position.

Mr. Wilson has acted as Police Justice, and was a candidate for Mayor in 1883. His wife is a member of the Episcopal Church. He is an active mem- ber of the Royal Arcanum and G. A. R.

P. R. WOODRING, dry goods merchant, Corry, was born September 25, 1831, in Crawford County, Penn., and is a son of Daniel and Anna (Rudy) Woodring, who were the parents of ten children, eight of whom are now living. Our subject is the ninth child and second son in the family. Daniel Woodring was a shoe-dealer, a native of Lehigh County, Penn. He died fifteen years ago at the age of seventy-three, and his wife de- parted this life thirty years ago, when fifty-six years old. She was a native of Germany. Our subject, until twenty-one, remained on his father's farm in Crawford County, near Sagerstown, of which he was a pioneer. Mr. Woodring was educated in the district school. He engaged in the dry goods business in Newcastle, Penn., five years for himself, and eight years as a salesman for Hoyt Bros., and R. W. Clendenin, in New Castle, Penn. He is a member of the firm of Woodring & Co., Corry, established September, 1883.

G. W. N. YOST, the inventor of the Caligraph, was born April 15, 1851, in Starkey, Yates Co., N. Y. He received a common school education, and prepared for college at Starkey Seminary, with a full expectation of obtaining a thorough education, but owing to the misfortune of having inflammation in the eyes, which prevented him from studying for some years, this was reluctantly abandoned. During his boyhood, and until his nine- teenth year, he attended school and worked with his father on the farm. For some years thereafter he traveled extensively in the West and South, and in March, 1855, his first pat- ent was obtained for a cotton plow and scraper, with which one hand and a mule could do the work of two hands and two mules during the busiest part of the cotton-growing season. From 1855 to 1873 (except some five years while engaged in the oil business), he devoted his time to inventing, patenting and manufacturing agricultural implements. Some fourteen years ago, be was invited by Mr. James Densmore to go to New York, and see the type- writer, a machine to write with type, instead of the pen. After seeing it, Mr. Yost ex- pressed the opinion that the idea was a good one, but the machine was not invented yet; that there was no commercial value in it, and the machine was returned to Milwaukee for the purpose of having it " invented." December, 1872, Mr. Yost was invited to Milwaukee to see the invented type-writer. After a very careful examination of the machine, as then made, he became interested in it. February, 1873, he made a contract with the Remington Armory, at Ilion, N. Y., and up to 1877, nearly 4,000 were made and sold mainly through his energy. In 1879, Mr. Yost, not satisfied with his previous efforts, set to work in earnest to invent what he termed the ideal writing machine, and the Caligraph is the result. He has a factory in Corry manufacturing the caligraph in which 125 hands are employed, turn- ing out seventy-five machines per week. Mr. Yost, for the past year or two, has been actively associated with Dr. Virgil W. Blanchard, of New York, in the financial manage- ment and development of his system of inventions, embracing furnace, boiler, engine, electric light, etc. While engaged in the oil business our subject was one of the largest shippers in the oil country, having from two to five agents buying for him, handling thou- sands of dollars per day. After retiring from the oil business he built the shops called the Corry Machine Shops, now known as the Gibbs, Sterrett Mnfg. Co., at a cost of over $200,000, employing 500 men. To the personal efforts of Mr. Yost more than to any other ten men, Corry is what it is to-day.
