DANIEL W. ZINTSMASTER (Daniel Webster Zintsmaster)
Daniel W. Zintsmaster of Minneapolis is readily conceded to be one of the finest
photographers in this section of the country. He was born in Ilion, New York, on
the 7th of April, 1885, a son of William H. and Nellie (Sullivan) Zintsmaster.
Daniel W. Zintsmaster attended the schools of Ilion for a time and then went to
Michigan with his father. He resided in Detroit and Hudson, Michigan, and
subse­quently removed to Indiana. In 1894 he came to Minneapolis and attended
school hero, completing his academic education. In 1912 he returned to Ilion and
secured a position in the Remington Arms plant. He later took up photography and
spent six years in Herkimer, New York, as a photographer, at the termination of
which time he returned to Minneapolis and went into the Rembrandt Studio for two
years. He then removed to Chicago and started in business for himself on the
west side. After one year in that city he went to Texas and opened a Rembrandt
Studio in Houston, and two years later located in Syracuse, New York, where he
owned a fine studio which he conducted with substantial success for four years.
In 1915 he disposed of that studio, however, and returned to Minneapolis,
purchasing the Frederick Studio, which he renamed the Reynolds Studio. It is
located at No. 518 Nicollet avenue. Seven years later he opened his present
studio at No. 816 Nicollet, retaining ownership also of the Reynolds Studio, and
he has started a commercial plant at No. 1525 East Franklin street. Mr.
Zints-master has won an enviable reputation as a photographer and is considered
one of the finest in this section of the country.
On the 10th of August, 1910, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Zintsmaster to
Miss Isabell Launer of Laporte, Indiana, and to their union two children have
been born: Mary Isabelle and Clara Louise. Mrs. Zintsmaster is socially
prominent.
Since attaining his majority Mr. Zintsmaster has given his political allegiance
to the republican party and the principles for which it stands. As a
public-spirited ana progressive citizen he holds membership in the Civic &
Commerce Association and the Lions Club and his aid can always be counted upon
in the furtherance of any movement for the upbuilding of the city, county and
state. Fraternally he is a thirty-second degree Mason and is likewise identified
with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. Socially he is connected with the
Automobile Club. A man of genial and pleasing personality, Mr. Zintsmaster's
friends are legion and he enjoys the con­fidence and esteem of all who know him.
