General Notes: Husband - John R. Kuntz

He was reared in Washington, Pennsylvania, where he attended the common schools, and at the age of fourteen years entered the drug store of John P. Vowell, in whose employ he remained between three and four years, subsequently working about the same period with George W. Roberts. In 1878 he engaged in the drug business for himself, continuing in that line for about twenty-eight years, when on account of ill health, he sold the business and then lived in retirement, his residence being located at No. 25 South College street. Mr. Kuntz was a director of the Washington Light & Power Company, and was also a director of the Real Estate Trust Company of Washington. He was fraternally affiliated with the B. P. O. E. order.
