General Notes: Husband - W. L. Lenhart


He first attended school at his native place, and afterwards in Buffalo township. At Shamokin Dam he was employed about his father's hotel, in connection with which there was a ferry to Sunbury, which he assisted in managing. After coming to Buffalo township, he was for a few years employed on the farm, and when his father opened a grocery store, he held for a few years a position in it as clerk, but at length resigned, and engaged in boating, as that business appeared to afford superior opportunities for profitable employment. He followed the canal for two years, managing a boat of his own, which plied mostly between Nanticoke and Baltimore, Maryland. For the next year, he conducted a grocery store at Liverpool. He married and they began housekeeping at Lower Liverpool Lock, where he opened a grocery store on the property owned by his father. Prior to this he had been in partnership with his father in the saw-mill, and on May 12, 1883, he bought his father's interest in the mill property. For one year he managed the store in addition to the saw-mill, but later he devoted his entire attention to the milling business. The tract of land he owned embraced 58 acres. In the summer of 1896, he erected a new house. In connection with the mill, he also had a hydraulic cider press and a planing-mill.
Mr. Lenhart was a Democrat, and served as councilman, school director, burgess, and in several other minor offices. Both he and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Lenhart was also a member of the P. O. S. A., and was at one time a member of the K. P. and of I. O. O. F.
