John O Behymer was born in Rush County, Indiana, April 9, 1855, and in 1861 removed with his parents to Grant County, where he resided until 1874. During the first few years of his life, he did not have the advantage of schooling, and at the age of ten summers could not read. He entered the public schools at the age of eleven, and before he was of age had a good common school education. He passed his first examination in 1875, and obtained a first-class license as a teacher in the common schools. He came to Tipton county in the fall of 1876, and secured the school at the Burket School house in Madison Township, which he taught with much success. He purchased an interest in the NEWS office at Windfall in 1877, and while he was one of the proprietors he continued teaching until February, 1880. He was married to Anna E. O'Banion, of Tipton, March 11, 1880, and purchased one=half interest in the Tipton Weekly Times during the same month. He remained one of the proprietors of the Times until February 1881, when he disposed of his interest. He established the Tipton Saturday Express, March 19, 1881, which paper he conducted successfully until he sold it March 24, 1883. During his career as editor of the Express, he spoke his sentiments fearlessly on any and all subjects, advocating that which he thought was right and denouncing that which he believed to be wrong. During the political contest of 1882, the Express, under Mr. Behymer's management, was renowned for its true Democracy, and was ever battling for the success of the Democratic ticket. He has recently purchased the Winamac Democrat, the party organ of Pulaski County, and will shortly remove thither. Franklin Evening Star 13 Apr 1921 JOHN O. BEHYMER, FRIEND OF W.W.
