Mr. Ryemiller received his education in the public schools of his native town, and after having completed his studies, decided to go to New York City in search of business opportunities. He had no difficulty in securing an agreeable and profitable connection with the Knickerbocker Ice Company, at New York, and remained in the company's service for the long period of twelve years. He found life in the nation's metropolis pleasant and interesting, and the years he spent with the Knickerbocker Ice Company were destined to give him a broad and thorough understanding of the complexities of modern life, the conditions prevalent in business and industrial centers, and the factors determining success in any field of business activity. Mr. Ryemiller might have continued his connection with the Knickerbocker Ice Company had it not been for an increasing desire to return to his old home, a desire shared by his wife, who is a native of West Sand Lake.

He has always maintained the highest standards of commercial service, dealing only in goods of recognized worth and keeping a full stock of staple articles always on hand, so as to be able to supply his customers without delay. His efforts in these directions are appreciated by his fellow-townsmen, who have not hesitated to give him their regular patronage, having the utmost confidence in the quality of everything sold at his establishment.
