General Notes: Husband - Valentine O. Zahniser


He remained in his native place until he was twenty-four years of age, attending school in his earlier years and later assisting on the home farm. He then went to the West and spent a year in Nebraska, during that time teaching school and farming, and from there went to Kansas, where he took up a homestead of 160 acres, located in Cheyenne County, and resided there for one and one-half years. He returned to Nebraska for another year, but in September, 1888, he went back to the East and took up his residence at Washington. For about one year he worked at rig building in the oil fields, then was in railroad work for ten months and after this experience entered the employ of the McDermot Tool Company, at Martin's Ferry, Ohio. His work there covered a period of eighteen months, when he came back to Washington, where he had many friends and relatives, and shortly afterward became a member of the firm of Zahniser Bros. & Sten. He had additional interests, some of these being in the oil fields, and he was also concerned in the Forgeing Machine Shops, at Waynesburg.
