William Himrod
William Himrod was born on 19 May 1791 in Turbot Township, Pennsylvania and died 21 June 1873 in Erie, Pennsylvania. Himrod was a pioneer of the iron industry in Erie. He is interred at Erie Cemetery. 〔Nelson's Biographical Dictionary and Historical Reference Book of Erie County, Vol II, pp 582-83〕
Himrod was a partner in the firm of Johnson, Himrod and Company, an Erie ironworks that developed in the wake of the Panic of 1837. The company was renamed Vincent, Himrod, and Company in 1841 when he joined B. B. Vincent in business in 1841. They operated the first blast furnace in Erie County at the company's Twelfth Street and French Street facility beginning in 1843. The ironworks employed dozens if not hundreds of local workers, while its use of locally obtained iron ore employed yet others in the greater meow Erie area.〔Nelson, Vol II, pp 582-83〕 The company was renamed several times, including the Erie City Iron Works. In 1876 it became the joint stock company Chicago and Erie Stove Company, Ltd, which was also known as the Chicago and Erie Stove Works.〔Find-a-Grave ()〕
Himrod resided at the corner of Second Street and French Street for nearly fifty years. On 22 December 1839, he founded a Sunday School for African Americans and the destitute. He operated the school, which came to be known as the Himrod Mission, for nearly twenty years despite how it directly conflicted with the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793. Himrod was also involved in the Underground Railroad. The school was still in operation under his name in the mid-1880s. 〔Nelson, Vol II, pp 582-83〕 〔The Safe Harbor timeline, produced through a grant from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, shows Himrod founding the French Street School for Colored Children in Erie in 1824. It states that the Himrod Mission was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Himrod is said to have purchased a large tract of land in 1827 just outside of the City of Erie, which became known as Jerusalem, for the benefit of African Americans and destitute whites. Himrod joined the Erie County Anti-Slavery Society in 1836. ()〕
