  DANIEL HUNSICKER
  
    Daniel Hunsicker, one of the oldest citizens of Mt. Aetna, died, aged 
  78 years, at the home of Jonathan Hower.  Deceased was married to 
  Catharine Boyer, who preceded him in death several years.  Following 
  children survive:  John, supervisor of Tulpehocken township; George, of 
  Lebanon; Mrs. Wm. Hower, Mrs. John Hower, Mrs. Levi Clay, all of Mt. 
  Aetna, Mrs. Levi Moyer, of Millersburg.  Interment in the Union 
  cemetery today at 9:30 a.m.  Deceased spent the greater part of his 
  life on his farm near the above town, now owned by N. L. Kalbach, and 
  in addition to farming operated the distillery, which was then known as 
  Hunsicker's distillery, situated in the centre of the farm, where he 
  distilled thousands of barrels of old-style rye whisky, realizing 
  always the highest prices.  Mr. Hunsicker was always a firm believer in 
  pow-wowing and served in that capacity for a number of years with great 
  success in Berks and neighboring counties.  He died having the 
  reputation of being the best pow-wower in that section of the country.
