.........4. Vest, Alton Harry |
Parents: Abraham Lincoln & 1st wife Emma Ellen (Thurman) Vest. 1891 Birth: 4-3-1891 Floyd Co., VA. The History of West Virginia, Old and New Published 1923, The American Historical Society, Inc., Chicago and New York, Volume II, pg. 543 ALTON HARRY VEST, president and manager of the Mercer Hardware & Furniture Company at Matoaka, Mercer County, was born at Floyd Court House, Virginia, April 3, 1891, and is a son of Abraham Lincoln Vest and Emma (Thurman) Vest, both natives of Floyd County, Virginia, where they still maintain their home and where the father is a representative farmer and a loyal citizen who has been influential in public affairs of local order. He was born in 1859 and his wife in 1857, and both are members of families early founded in the Old Dominion State. Abraham L. Vest has served as commissioner of internal revenue, as a member of the board of review of his native county and in other local offices of trust. His political allegiance is given to the republican party, and although he bears the name of the "Great Emancipator," his father, Jacob Vest, was a soldier of the Confederacy in the Civil war, having met his death while in the army, in the command of Gen. J. E. B. Stuart. Abraham L. Vest and his wife are earnest members of the Presbyterian Church, and he is serving as an elder in the same. He has been for many years affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The two sons, of whom the subject of this sketch is the younger, are associated in business, the elder son, Allen D., being vice president of the Mercer Hardware & Furniture Company. Alton H. Vest attended the public schools of his native county until he was seventeen years of age. He taught one term of school and for two and one-half years thereafter was employed in the commissary department of the Solvay Colliery Company at Big Sandy, West Virginia. He was then transferred to the company's offices at Marytown, and later continued in service in turn at Springton and Kingston. His activities in connection with business affairs were interrupted when, February 6, 1918, he enlisted for service in the United States Army. He was sent to Camp Oglethorpe, Georgia, and was assigned to a regiment of infantry. Later he was transferred to the army ambulance service and sent to Allentown, Pennsylvania, for training. Upon proceeding to France he was assigned to the One Hundred and Fourteenth Base Hospital at Bordeaux, where he remained on active duty one year. After the signing of the historic armistice that brought the World war to a close, Mr. Vest returned to his native land, and at Camp Meade he received his honorable discharge on the 2d of June, 1919, with the rank of hospital sergeant. Shortly afterward he entered the employ of the Flat Top Pocahontas Coal Company as bookkeeper in its office at Herndon, West Virginia. Six months later he became associated in the organization of the Mercer Hardware & Furniture Company, of which representative commercial concern at Matoaka he has since been associated, first as vice president and later becoming president of the firm. Mr. Vest received the thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite in the Masonic fraternity at Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, and is affiliated also with Rajah Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., at Reading, Pennsylvania. He is a member of the Mercer County Country Club and is one of the vital and progressive young business men of Matoaka. Mr. Vest married, June 15, 1921, Miss Ella Mastin Bailey, of Matoaka, West Virginia, and they have one son, Harry Lincoln Vest. 1900 Floyd Co., VA, Little River District, H193: Alton H. 9 yo son, b.
