BUT nothing on the bottle says anything about where its from
all it says is J. H. Midmer on one side and J.H.M. on the other

Before he was Sherriff in 1868 he owned a Hotel in 1855. Maybe it was Bottled for his Hotel use?? LEON.

I refer to these types of embossed bottles as UNFORTUNATE.
It is UNFORTUNATE that they have no City or State embossed on them.
A common term among many bottle collectors is the word MAVERICK to describe these kinds of bottles. I use MAVERICK in my library to categorize embossed beers like this.
