General Notes: Husband - David Zahniser

---

He served as school director, and supervisor and assessor of the township. He was one of the directors in the Sandy Lake Bank and an elder in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and votes the Republican ticket.

He inherited the old family homestead where he resided the greater part of his life, his last years being spent on a smaller farm a half mile farther east. He was a man of strong, positive character. Few men are permitted for so long a period to wield such an influence on a community as he enjoyed. In politics he was a republican and he held a num­ber of local offices at various times. He was a member and for 45 years an elder in the Bethany Cumberland Presbyterian Church in which he occupied almost every other office a layman is ever called to fill. For over 30 years he taught a Bible class in the Sunday school, and his face was seldom absent from any of the services. He was a strong man physically never being sick a day during his long and strenuous life.
