My Comments notes for Blair Hobson (Spouse 1)
A central PA history gives the biography of Blair Mertz. It says that after high school he joined J O and Byron in the operations of the Mertz Motor Company -- which operated Ford dealerships in Northumberland and Shamokin. It says J O operated Sunbury Motors alone. He was also associated with his brothers in Mertz Transfer -- household goods movement. He was associated with Lee in the operation of Lithia Springs Bottling. He married Katherine Blosky of Danville and a daughter Dorothy Marle was born 16 Sep 1926.
