General Notes: Husband - William Hamilton Kinter

---

He attended public school in Rayne township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and continued on the home farm and worked for his father until he joined the Union army during the Civil war. In March, 1865, he enlisted for one year in Company F, 74th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Capt. John Kinter, and was made sergeant of his company, with which he served until receiving his honorable discharge, Aug. 29, 1865, the war having closed. On his return to the pursuits of peace he located in Cookport, Green township, Indiana County, where he became engaged in the mercantile business, and was subsequently made postmaster, a position which he held until 1874, in that year selling out to turn his attention once more to farming. At that time he located on the Allison farm in East Mahoning township, but three years later moved to Punxsutawney with his family, and for three years was engaged in the manufacture of shingles and other lumber in Canoe township. At the end of that period he settled on a 200-acre tract of land in Grant township, known as the old Craig farm, where he made his home during the remainder of his life, being engaged in general farming and stock raising, and where he eventually died at the age of sixty years. Mr. Kinter was a stalwart Republican and served as auditor of his township for several years.
