William A. Stritmater (1841-1921), a Civil War veteran born near Ellwood City, got involved in the dry goods business in New Castle and became a partner in Henderson & Company. William, who was assisted by brothers Joseph and James and partner W. A. Johnson, soon took over the company and renamed it as Stritmater Brothers & Johnson in about 1869. (c1920) | 
The company soon became known simply as Stritmater Brothers and became very successful. Stritmater conducted business at several locations until he opened this prominent building on E. Washington Street in late October 1882. The business flourished for many years until it was closed when William Stritmater passed away in 1921. (c1890) |
