General Notes: Husband - Montgomery J. Zahniser

---

He remained in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, until he had completed his school attendance and was nineteen years old when he came to Washington, Pennsylvania, where he learned the machinist trade with the firm of Fink & Zahniser, entering their works in 1887. Later he worked for two years in a machine shop at Waynesburg and then went to Pittsburgh and for two years was with the Pittsburg Garage & Supply Company. After leaving the Pittsburgh shops, he became a member of the firm of Zahniser & Sten, at Washington, and continued there until 1902, when, with his brother, M. R. Zahniser, he established the Washington Foundry and Manufacturing Company, its business being general foundry work. This company occupied two buildings, one being 100 feet square, and the other 30 by 60 feet, three stories high.
He and his wife were members of the Third Presbyterian Church, in which he was a deacon.
