Republican, and had served several terms as tax collector of Carroll township. 
For twenty years he was a trustee and treasurer of Arnold's United Brethren 
church. He was aged 65 years. Four sisters, Miss Annie KINTER, with whom he 
resided, Mrs. Celesta TROSTEL, Dillsburg, Mrs. Charles P. MILLER, Franklin
