REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR MEMBER.

1862. lie is DESCENDED from n race
of men who have been engaged in
farming and numbering in the North
ern part of Pennsylvania since the
year 1900. In 1920 his grandfather
William Jennings was workman IN
the woods near IIazelton, Pa, after
this he bought a farm and grist mill
at Mehoopany. Wyoming county
where he resided until his death in
the year 1865. Jenningsville, Wyom-
ing county, was named after him.
b. Worth Jennings came to Sulli-
van county in 1881 when he was 10
years of age He and his brother
G. H. Jennings commenced the lum-
bering business near the place now
known as Lopez. At that time no
industry had been started there and
the jennings Bros. who had made
their venture in this new field with
small capital, were compelled to work
not only with their brains, but with
their hands. Worth, the subject Of
this sketch, worked as a teamster
and guided many loads of bark and
lumber over the rough roads Of the
county of his adoption.
With the building of the Railroad
from Bernice TO Lopez, the Jennings
boys erected new anC modern saw
mill there. They have built log Rail
roads connecting with the l.. V. II. II
at Bernice and have now at Lopel
one Of the best saw mills in the sta &
which will not fear comparison with
the best at Williamsport or Dubois.
Jennings Bros. have made their
improvements of permanent char
acter In addition to building some
20 miles of Rail Road they have still
on hand over 10000 acres of forest
not yet touched by the axe. All this
bark and lumber will come to Lopez
and be manufactured there.
The character OF the Jennings boys
is shown by the nature of their i'm
provemcnts. Everything is solid
and lasting and not built for day.
Both, b. W. and G. II. Jennings are
married and their wives and families
reside at Lopez.

our readers. He is 4 frank, fearless

life has been spent in Sullivan coun-
