Henry Martin Zahniser, an aged and
respected citizen of Tionesta, who was
we'll and favorably known throughout
several counties in western Pennsylvania,
passed away at his residence here at l:45
o'clock Wednesday morning. June /,
1910. The deceased had been in falling
health Tor about year previous to the
end, and, about two weeks ago, suffered a
stroke of paralysis, since which he grad
ually became weaker until the final hour
as above stated.
The deceased was born at North Mills,
Mercer county, Pa, April %, 1886, and
was a prominent member of the well
known Zshniser family, numbering a
thousand or more, the annual reunions of
which, held on the old homestead since
1875, are notable events in the history of
Mercer county, the members of which
are scattered over the state and nation, a
family history of which was published a
few years ago, and the members of which
are very highly regarded wherever
known. This large family are decend-
ants of one Matthias Zahniser, whose
father, Valentine Zahnisei, died at sea in
the year 1853 while en- route to America
from the German Fatherlsnd, leaving a
widow and this infant son Matthias, four
years of age, TO survive him. The widow
and son Matthias finally reached a Ger
man settlement in Lancaster county, Pa,
where they found former friends, where
the young Matthias grew to manhood,
and where he married Miss Mary Lint.
He served his country faithfully as SOL
dier in the war for American independ-
ence and thereafter, with his wife and
family, removed to Allegheny county,
Pa, where he resided for some years, but
in 1897 he again moved and permanently
settled in Mercer county in what is now
Lake township, few miles northeast of
the town of Mercer, built cabins, took up
and settled lands, and engaged in the
work of the hardy pioneer settler of that
early date. There he and his sons laid
the foundation of a new settlement in the
wilderness, married and multiplied, so
that scores of their progeny now reside in
the same section of the country, while
many have scattered over the whole
country so that probably every county in
the state and every state in the Union
now has its representative. And none
need to hesitate to acknowledge the name.
The subject of this sketch was the son
of Jacob and Malinda (Smith) Zshniser.
He acquired his education in the
public schools of his native county,
and after arriving at the year of his
majority, learned the blacksmith trade
and followed the same near the old home.
He married Elizabeth DeFrance in the
year 1860, by whom 10 children were
born, nine of whom are still living. In
1878 he was elected prothonotsry of Mer-
Ger county by large majority on what
was then the minority party ticket in
that county, showing the respectin which
he was held by his neighbors and
friends. He performed the duties of this
office faithfully and scceptably during his
official term, and upon his retirement
therefrom, removed to Forest county and
settled upon farm near Stewart run.
In politics he was in early life staunch

William Sidney Porter, who was
one ri the most popular short

morning at the Polyclynic hospital
on East 34th street, New York.
He had suffered for several years
from complication of diseases of
which cirrhosis of the liver was the
Inost dangerous factor.
For some time before the end came
Mr. Porter suffered no pain. He was
conscious just before he died, and
smiled at the doctor and the nurse,
the only ones at the bedside.
During the past few years few con.

Of the masters of short story writing
in this country, possessing a gift of
fine humor as well as an ability for
dramatic narration. He was one of
the few who could make slang really
funny. He was essentially humor-
ist.
He was born 43 years ago in
Creensborough, N. G. Several of his
ancestors had been governors of the
state.
He went to Texas while he was still
in his teens and spent two years and
a half on cattle ranch owned by
friend OF his family, Lee Hall. who
was well known Texas ranger.
But he got tired of the cattle bust
ness and made up his mind that he
wanted to write or draw.
He had not much special prepara-
ton. A common school education
and considerable reading of the class
les from his 18th to his 18th year
was the education with which he
started. For q time he ran a paper
in Houston called "The Rolling Stone"
During a visit to Central America
he got material for some of his most
amusing stories. stories which had to
do with the misadventures of Yam

He drifted around the country for
a year or two selling story now and
then for tenth of what he got in
after years, and finally landed in New
York in 1901. Gilman Hall, then the
editor Of Ainslee's, liked Porter's
