Edward Remy
The subject of our sketch was born in Washington Township, Richland County, February 11, 1853. He is the son of the late Peter Remy, who was married to Anna M. Touby. His parents were both natives of Germany, and it can be properly said that he is of German extraction. He is the oldest of eight children, and when five years old came to town and received his education in the public schools of this city. After completing his education he held the position of bookkeeper with the firm of M. & J.H. Black, who formerly did a partnership in dry goods. After being there a short time he accepted the position of bookkeeper of the Richland National Bank, where he remained for a period of four years. In 1874 he went into the office of J.A. Lee, County Treasurer, and acted as deputy four years. In 1878, he went into the grocery business with his brother, Frank M., and still has an interest in the concern. In 1882, he again went into the Treasurers' office as deputy under J.J. Douglass, which position he still occupies. In the spring of 1885, he was nominated by the Democrats for County Treasurer, by a majority of over 1909 over his competitor, his vote being 2998, against 1,089 for the opposing candidate. He is a young man of good habits, is well known all over the county, and has many warm friends in this vicinity.
