and which lies about 21 miles west
of Liverpool To this farm he then
removed and there passed the re
mainder of his life. 1t was only TIE
strong and urgent persuasion of his
friend Holman that induced him to
buy the farm, for SO lightly did be
think of it, that he never even felt a
deslr3 to examine 1t, although it laid
close to the Letter farm on which he
lived. Under his excellent manage
ment it soon disclosed its latest
capabilities and productiVeness and
IN this purchase, were so laid the
foundation of his fortune that no
vibrations or panics could ever after
shake them. Daniel ZeigIer was
thrice married. His first wife died
IN 1859. By her he had six children,
of whom three sons and two daugh-
ters survived him. He was a second
time married to a daughter Of George
Minium, Esq deceased, to whom he

His second wife died in 1864 and in
1866 he was married to his third,

he has lived for % years, in unbroken
and uninterrupted domestic harmony
and happiness. Daniel Zeigler WAS at

His funeral was impressive in as
much as it was largely attended by
very many of the best citizens of
Juniata and Perry counties, all of
whom mad long bssn his fast and
warm friends. Death who loves a
shining mark, has rarely stricken
down victim who possessed in SO
eminent degree all the attributes Of
perfect manhood. Many there are
aud have been, who are, and have
been more widely named, but in
their social circles few are the nuna-

Starting in life without any advan-

help and was very ready to assist
those who needed assistance. More
fortunate that others, who like him
himself have been handicapped by
early poverty.

upon his peaceful grave. His wealth
was acquired by honest methods,
and not single dollar by wrong.
