Lazear (1866-1917) Joseph S. Lazear, son of John W. and Nancy (Straus) Lazear, was born near Sistersville, Tyler county, West Virginia, May 18, 1866. He obtained his education in the public schools of Tyler county, West Virginia, and at an early age engaged in freighting and teaming in Tyler county. In 1894 he removed his business to Mannington, Marion county, and in 1901 added his present livery business. He is now the owner of considerable real estate in and near Mannington. In his various enterprises Mr. Lazear has succeeded to a degree seldom accorded to the ordinary man who has had to make his own way through life. He is a member of the Mannington Masonic lodge, the Fairmont chapter and commandery and the Wheeling shrine. He is an active worker in the ranks of the Republican party, and served one term as member of the Mannington council. The family attend the Christian church. He married Lina, daughter of Jacob and Mary (McNeeley) Tustin, of Greene county, Pennsylvania. Their children are: Arza Glenn, born November 10, 1898, now in city school; Elise E., born September 10, 1902, attending the city schools of Mannington. Mrs. Lazear is an active worker in the various branches of church work in the Christian church society of Mannington. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Information: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Death Certificate, Ohio County WV, #735 Full-name: Joseph S.
