   W. H. KUHNS veterinary surgeon, P.O. Quakertown.  The 
subject of this sketch was born in Allentown, Pa., December 
11, 1829, and is the seventh son of Dewalt and Sydnea 
(Smith) Kuhns, both of whom were natives of Lehigh county.  
He received good school advantages and in 1855 begun the 
study of his profession in Philadelphia under the tutorship 
of Dr. Robert Jennings; and after completing his course, 
began practice in Allentown, remaining there until 1860, 
when he came to Quakertown, where he has since resided, and 
has been successful in his treatment of all the ailments and 
diseases to which domestic animals are subject, and is 
receiving a liberal patronage.  He has been thrice married; 
first, September 30, 1858, to Maria Musselman, who died, 
leaving four children, three of whom are now living, viz., 
Keturah, Mena and Justice.  His second wife was Sarah 
Horseman, who died leaving no issue.  His present wife is 
Sallie Fisher, of Philadelphia.  The doctor has a grandson, 
Winfield S., son of Eldah, by her husband, Jonathan Crater,
