Ko0utz on the occasion Of the centen-
NAL Anniversary Of Somers-t County,
three years ag3, was one of the best ef-
forts OF hi life. IL was full Of valga-
bic information to the student Of local
history, clean, able, thorough and ex-
ha8stive; each thought being 50 care
fally and con5sely narrated that it will
surely be handed down 20 posterity as
the most reliable and repiete account
Of the early settlement Of the county.
II certainly required a great deal Of re-
search, time and labor to formulate
such a valuable contribution.
While General KOOntz j. well and
widely known as an able attorney and
eloquent pleader, h. Is also we'll known
a. a political spell binder, and his voice
has been raised ia many campaigns in
Pennsylvania and also on numerous
oc ;asions In the states of West Virginia,
Maryland and Oaio. Aside from his
busy life a. an attorney, Gener5I
X bontz's talents have appeared in Gsh-
er directions. He Is a director AID
counsel for the great Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, director in the Somerset
County National Bank, aud director
aud one OF the board Of managers Of
the Somerset Hotel Company, who

kaown a. the Highland Inn. 4 lover
OF literature aud art, he has surrounded
himself with the best efforts Of ancient
aad modern authors and many rare
and valuable pictures.
