General Notes: Husband - Daniel Kunkle

---

Greensburg, Westmoreland Co, PA

He was reared on a farm, where he was thoroughly trained to farm work and taught to be industrious, honest and economical. His education was received in the common schools of his native county. He left the farm and the school-room to enter into business at Greensburg. He was successfully as well as actively engaged in the lumber business and operated a planing mill. After 1881 he devoted his time to superintending his farm adjoining Greensburg and in looking after his extensive and valuable town property.
He was a republican but never had much time or inclination for politics. He was a member of the Presbyterian church.

He was born March 16, 1831, in Hempfield township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and received his education in the common schools. At nineteen years of age he apprenticed himself to the painter's trade, which failing health obliged him to abandon about six years later. He then engaged in the grain and lumber business in Ludwick borough, in partnership with a Mr. Lobaugh. At the end of six years Mr. Kunkle withdrew from the firm, and for more than fifteen years' conducted a successful lumber business on his own account. He then retired and established his two sons in the lumber business at Ashtabula Harbor, Ohio, where the enterprise was conducted by them for a number of years. After his withdrawal from business Mr. Kunkle lived in retirement. He was the owner of a portion of the old homestead as well as other property. He was twice elected burgess of Ludwick borough and retained four years as a member of the school board. His political affiliations were with the Republicans. He was a member of the Presbyterian church. [HWC 1906 II, 42]
