| 1. | David KINCH was born 22 Oct 1833, Neffs Mills, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania (son of David KINCH and Mary Magdalena DAVIS); died 30 Mar 1915, Altoona, Blair, Pennsylvania; was buried Oak Ridge Cemetery, Altoona, Blair, Pennsylvania. Notes:
Like his father and brother John, David too was a blacksmith. He was raised in the Franklin Twp area of Huntington County. He married Isabella Zentmyer on 3 July 1855. He moved to Arch Springs, a small settlement near Sinking Valley, Blair County, about 15 miles from Altoona. He later moved to Altoona where he gained political notice by becoming the second mayor there. It was said that upon his election (around 1872 or 73) he cleaned up the city (literally!) by removing pig styes from the city area and by seeing that the city had sewers constructed. He seems to have been a "law and order" mayor, probably leading to his mayoral loss in 1874. David worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. until he retired at age 70. In the 1890 Altoona directory he is listed as a tool temperer and lived 1116 Fifth Avenue where several of his children also resided. He died 30 March 1915 in Altoona. The 13 children of David Kinch [Jr] and his wife were born and raised in the Altoona area.
David married Isabella ZENTMYER 3 Jul 1855, Pennsylvania. Isabella (daughter of John ZENTMYER and Margaret GATES) was born 17 Jun 1833, Springfield Furnace, Franklin, Huntingdon, Pennsylvana; died 11 Jan 1923, Altoona, Blair, Pennsylvania; was buried Oak Ridge Cemetery, Altoona, Blair, Pennsylvania.
