Creigh for nine years before being taken in as a partner at D.M. \u0026amp; J.T. Creigh, where he remained for 5 years before opening his own general store in Johnsville, OH. Over the 1850’s-60’s, Cover hired many young clerks, such as Samuel Wagner, who would later go on and start their own successful businesses both in town and elsewhere.
