While John Wesley was still a young child, his father moved to Picture Rocks, PA . Best known as "Wesley" the young John was introduced to the world of labor when he worked in the commissary (employee lunch room) at his father's ladder factory for which he was paid the princely sum of 12 1/2 cents per hour.By 1884, he had established an interest in art. After gaining accolades in a local contest for a pencil sketch of a dog titled "Old Rover", he was encouraged by friends to continue with art. He went to New York in 1888 and stayed with family friends while he studied at the The National Academy of Design.In 1899, at the invitation of Academy school chum Harry M. Walcott, he went to Paris and indulged in extensive travel on the continent, returning in time to teach the summer season at Eaglesmere. The rolling stone gathers no moss and he was soon 'discovered' by art buyers in Philadelphia and Williamsport. The notoriety, coupled with prosperity, enabled him to return to Paris the following year where he also traveled to Brussels and Venice. Returing home he met his future bride, Miss Susan Heim, at the Williamsport Railroad Station. They were married in December of the same year after a whirlwind courtship.Wesley and his bride first lived in Fort Washington, PA, which enabled him to join the Sketch Club and Water Color Club of Philadelphia, memberships he enjoyed the rest of his life. The following five years found Wesley showing his work at many prominent art exhibits from St. Louis to South America. He made one more trip to Europe and England before moving his family in 1905 to Picture Rocks. It is here that he remodeled an old barn into a studio.
