Father of Jasper Desk Industries Dies 

 at Ripe Old Age 



John Gramelspacher, 76 years old, known as the father of the 

 Jasper desk industries of Jasper, Ind., died June 25 at his home in 

 that city. He leaves two sons, George Gramelspacher, manager of 

 the Jasper Veneer Mills, and Gustave Gramelspacher, cashier of 

 the Farmers and Merchants Bank of that city, one daughter and 

 one brother. Mr. Gramelspacher served both in the Confederate 

 and Union armies in the civil war. When he was 12 years old he 

 left his home and went to Owensboro, Ky., and was there when the 

 war began. That state was supposed to be neutral, and Mr. Gramel- 

 spacher, being then a boy and anxious to fight, enlisted at the first 

 opportunity, "followed the noise," as he afterward said. 



The army he found first was the Confederate army, in which he 

 enlisted, thinking it was the Union army until too late. He re- 

 mained for sixteen months before he found opportunity to change 

 his allegiance. He remained then in the Union army until the 

 close of the war. After his discharge, he returned to Jasper and 

 entered the drug business for two years. In 1871 he organized the 

 Jasper Planing Mills Company, which he continued until he organ- 

 ized the Jasper Desk Company, the pioneer desk company of that 

 city. The industry grew to such proportions that two other com- 

 panies were organized and have factories there and a third now is in 

 course of construction. Mr. Gramelspacher was auditor of Dubois 

 county for eight years and was active in Democratic politics.
