R.B. Wenner was a son of C.F. Wenner, who farmed the length and breath of North Maple, then known as Wenner's Hill, and operated the mill during the Civil War years until his death in 1882. Roy later re-located to Philadelphia. His son Roy Jr. was an associate of John B. (Jack) Kelly, father of Princess Grace of Monaco.
