  ISAAC A. CHRONISTER, farmer and stock-grower, P. O. Uriah, was born 
in Adams County, Penn., but grew to manhood in York County, same State, 
and there acquired his education in the common schools.  His parents, 
Levi and Catharine (Asper) Chronister, were natives of Pennsylvania and 
of German origin; the former a blacksmith in early life, and in later 
years a farmer.  Isaac A. Chronister, the third in a family of seven 
children, learned the carpenter's trade, at which he worked several 
years, but now devotes his time to agriculture.  He owns the farm on 
which he resides in this township.  He was united in marriage, in 1875, 
with Leah, daughter of Joel Griest, a farmer and miller by occupation, 
and of English origin.  To Mr. and Mrs. Chronister have been born three 
children:  Charles, Della and George Levi.  Mr. and Mrs. Chronister are 
members of the Lutheran Church.
