Mr Zentmyer was born near Quincy, on the farm now owned by H. A. Good. He was reared on the farm. Afterward he engaged in wagoning and for six years drove a large Conestoga wagon between Greencastle and Waynesboro and Baltimore. He used six and eight horses in his teams and his descriptions of his trips and his experiences as a wagonner were very interesting. Retiring from this business he again engaged in farming and 23 years ago moved to the place which he occupied uninterruptedly until his death. Mr Zentmyer was a man of much force of character, of wide knowledge and highly esteemed by those who knew him. In politics he was an unswerving Democrat but never aspired to an office.
