Daniel Zentmyer, a well known farmer of near Kauffmans station, died at his home, Wednesday evening, after an illness of a week from pneumonia. He was aged 77 years, 3 months and 22 days. 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. He was a member of the German Baptist Brethren Church. He was the last of a family of twelve children. He is survived by his widow and these children; Daniel B, Nebraska, David, Altenwald; John at home; Mrs George Unger, Upton; Calvin, Hamilton Avenue, Waynesboro; and J Burns, Hotel Werner, a paternmaker in the Landis Tool Co's shop. Funeral Saturday, meet at house at 10 o'clock. Service and interment at German Baptist Brethren church at Brown's Mills.
