Ov This is the all absorbing question concerning Uncle Dan Overmyer and his bride whom he found by newspaper advertising. His neighbors report that she came home with Uncle Dan on Monday of last week, and left on Thursday, taking away all she brought with her. Whether true or not the story in circulating is good stuff for the gossips. They have it that after all Uncle Dan’s advertising and his hundreds of letters from women willing to consider him, matrimonially, he married a Miss Smith, of Noblesville, who is a stenographer and had a good position in a law office. He brought her to his big farm home, introduced her to his cows, showed her the interesting mechanism of his patent churn, gave her a bird’s eye view of the garden spot she would cultivate next summer, directed her the shortest cut for carrying the skimmed milk to the pigs, and pointed out the wood house where she could find kindling for starting of early morning fires. All this was interesting but not inviting. And to add to the discouragement she heard a whisper that Uncle Dan had fixed his 320 odd acres so it was his, his life time only, and then went to his children. All of these gloomy prospects unsettled the happiness of the vivacious and romantic typewriter and she longed for her happy home and the click of her machine rather than the jabber of her “by goshen” husband. And so on Thursday Uncle Dan and she went to Winamac and she there took a Panhandle flyer for Noblesville. If all this is true it only adds crimson to the firey red romance of Mr. Overmyer’s experience in wife hunting by advertising in the newspapers, top of columns, next to reading matter, for a wife. He received over three hundred letters and it is said that eighty of them were never opened and read because the old gentleman had not the time to spare to look through his enormous mail and see what they all said. [Rochester Sentinel, Tuesday, October 13, 1903] OVERMYER, JACK K. [Rochester, Indiana] Owner, former editor, The News-Sentinel (name changed to The Rochester Sentinel) Writer of “Considered Comment,” weekly feature, The Rochester Sentinel Author: A Stupendous Effort, Indiana University Press, 1997 Author: Considered Comment, Reflections of a Hoosier Editor, The Rochester Sentinel, 1998 __________ OVERMYER REPLACES COPELAND AT SENTINEL Arthur Copeland, for many years associated with Rochester newspapers, is no longer a member of the staff of this newspaper. Jack Overmyer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Overmyer, took Mr. Copeland’s place today. Jack has been working part-time on The News-Sentinel for several months. [The News-Sentinel, Saturday, May 31, 1941] JACK OVERMYER’S SPORT COMMENT “MAKES” ESQUIRE The News-Sentinel’s city and sports editor, Jack Overmyer, comes in for some nationwide publicity with the March edition of The Esquire furnishing the “modus operandi.” The Esquire conducted a poll on various current sports problems with forms being sent to numerous newspapers throughout the United States. The “question” answered by The News- Seninel representative asks “Do you believe that major leagues should automatically make a veteran ball player a free agent after he has served ten years on one club?”
Ov Jack’s answer was: “After ten years of faithful and conscientious service to one club, it seems no more than right that a player should have the right to place himself in a more secure position, knowing that his playing value to his present club will decline considerably after the tenyear mark.” The Sports poll appeared on pages 89 and 181 of the March issue of Esquire. [The News-Sentinel, Wednesday, February 18, 1942] NEW CITY EDITOR WILL BE RUSSEL R. PARKER Russel R. Parker, son of Mr.and Mrs.Russel H.

Mr. Overmyer, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Overmyer, was formerly sports editor of The News-Sentinel and has been working in the capacity of city editor for the past year.
