General Notes: Husband - Capt. John Andrew Kinter

---

He was a school teacher, a merchant, and a captain during the Civil war.

His boyhood was spent on the home farm, where he alternated healthful work with attendance at the local schools, the Indiana academy and the Jacksonville academy. Later he studied surveying with David Pealor, and helped to make the first map issued of Indiana County. For a time he was employed as a clerk in the company store at Indiana, Pennsylvania. When war was declared between the North and the South he recruited Company I, 135th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, of which he was elected captain, and served as such for nine months. Returning home, in company with his brother, F. M. Kinter, who had sold his interest in the company store, he bought the Rochester store property in Marion Center, and was made postmaster, and was on the road to success when once more he was disturbed by his patriotic sentiments. Responding to another call for troops, he raised Company F, 206th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and served with it as captain during the last year of the war. His regiment was the first to enter Richmond, a fact that he never forgot.
In the meanwhile Captain Kinter's interests were protected at home by his brother, and at the end of the conflict he came home and with his brother bought the Bell mill property at Blacklick (later Josephine), Pennsylvania. Later he sold his interests and moved to Marion Center. There Captain Kinter was made postmaster and later justice of the peace, holding that office for fifteen years. He was extremely modest and retiring, but always willing to give generously of his time and money to advance any cause he thought worthy. A Presbyterian, he died firm in the faith of his church. Politically he was a Republican. He was a charter member of the first Odd Fellows lodge organized in Indiana County.

General Notes: Wife - Adelaide "Ada" Brady

---

She was born on the Brady homestead in Marion Center, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and was carefully educated, attending the common schools, the Marion summer institute and Blairsville seminary. She began teaching school when only seventeen years old, in Marion Center. Later she taught in the different schools of Indiana County, and also in Clearfield County. Marrying, she gave up teaching, but when the family moved to Bruin, Butler County, she resumed teaching and was thus engaged for five years. When the family returned to Marion Center she responded to the demand for her services and taught there for four terms, and two terms in the country district. After the death of her husband, she began teaching in the industrial schools of Indiana. She was active for years in the Woman's Relief Corps, the W. C. T. U. and the Methodist Church, which had her for an earnest Sunday school teacher and worker.
