McJimsey - John T.
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal, March 20, 1896
John T. McJimsey, a son of John M. McJimsey, an old pioneer of this County is succeeding admirably at Vincennes and reflects credit on the Wingate neighborhood where he was raised. The following from the Vincennes Sun will interest his many friends here: "John T. McJimsey, Sr. member of the McJimsey Buggy Co. has purchased Green's opera house and is now in possession of that well known and valuable property. The building was erected in 1885 at a cost of $36,000 by William Greene, whose name it has borne and who has owned it ever since. The price paid by Mr. McJ. was only $15,000and it is considered a great bargain by competent judges of the value of such property. The transfer was made by Charles McCord as trustee for William Greene. Vincennes theater goers and the public generally are glad to see the property pass into the hands of Mr. McJ who is an active, enterprising, up-to-date business man and McJ. opera house as it will now be known will soon be as popular as it was under the management of Frank Greene. - kbz
