Daniel Slagle had few educational oppor- tunities in his youth. The school was three miles distant, and he attended only three months in all. But he has made up for early deficiencies by intelligent application and hard work. At the age of fourteen he started to work away from home, continuing thus until he was eighteen, at which time he enlisted in the Union army for service in the Civil war. On Aug. 14, 1861, he joined Company B, 78th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, at Kittan- ning, this county, and was sent to Camp Wright, above Pittsburgh, remaining there two weeks. He then joined Gen. James S. Negley's brigade, going by boat to Louisville, Ky. The command then started through Ken- tucky and Tennessee, going to Chattanooga. While on skirmish duty at Elkton, Ala., in July, 1862, Mr. Slagle was wounded in the right eye, losing its sight, and on Jan. 2, 1863, at the battle of Stone River, he received an injury in his right forearm, being disabled until March
II, 1863. He was in the field hospital at Nash- ville, Tenn. Rejoining his company at Mur- freesboro, he was in the campaign through Georgia, took part in the battles of Chicka- mauga, Resaca, Deep Gap, Atlanta campaign, and Lookout Mountain, being under fire for forty-two days and nights, and after the battle were engaged in guarding trains for three months, and Mr. Slagle's time then expiring he received his discharge, Nov. 2, 1864, and re- turned to his home. The whole regiment at Nashville went out to drive General Wheeler out of Tennessee, going to a point on the Ten- nessee railroad to Pulaski and other places, being thus occupied for two months, returning to Nashville. Then they went by boat to Pittsburgh.
After his return from the army Mr. Slagle followed mining for fourteen years, being thus employed at Parker, Armstrong county, and in Apollo, Westmoreland county, where for nine years he looked after the opening of mines for N. Beal. In 1882 he settled at Templeton, in Pine township, Armstrong county, and bought a home, and there he has since resided. He owns considerable real estate in the village, and has been thoroughly identified with its activi- ties. For eight years he was justice of the peace. He has been township auditor several terms, was supervisor of the township three years under the new act, and was collector and treasurer for three years, resigning in the fall of 1910, when he went out to Oregon, purchas- ing a twenty-acre fruit tract near Rainier, in Columbia county, which he still owns. His. intelligent services have won him the esteem of all his fellow citizens, and he has made a. creditable place for himself among them. He has always been a stanch Democrat in politics, and has done good work for his party in the locality.
On Feb. 28, 1865, Mr. Slagle married Martha Jane Leisure, of Armstrong county, daughter of Washington and Julia Ann (Wyant) Lei- sure, natives of Pennsylvania. The Leisures are of French origin. In 1860 Washington Leisure and his family went to Ohio, where they remained for two years, returning to Pennsylvania because of sickness in the family.

Robert Parks, their grandfather, born in Mifflin county, Pa., came to Armstrong coun- ty in 1814, making the trip with his wife and six children overland. Their entire earthly possessions were contained in a covered wag- on, drawn by one horse. Arriving in this county, Mr. Parks took up 200 acres of land in what was afterwards to become his name- sake township, and 150 acres in another tract. The first one is now owned by his grandson, Robert G. Parks, and lies along the Kiskimin- etas river. The hardy pioneer cleared his land, on which he put up the log cabin in which the family resided until it was replaced, in 1841. by a substantial brick house, still the homestead residence. This house is in excel- lent condition, as is the barn, which is still in use, though erected in 1835. These buildings are a monument to the quality of work done in those early days, when materials and labor were much cheaper, and plenty of time was

JOHN WALTZ PARKS, a farmer of Parks township, was born on the Parks homestead Sept. 11, 1850, son of James B. and Lucinda (Hill) Parks, and brother of Robert G. Parks. During his boyhood he attended local schools and Leechburg Academy, and then during the winter of 1868-69 taught the home school, known as the Hills school. Following this Mr. Parks went to the oil fields in Clarion county, Pa., where he spent ten years. Upon leaving there he worked along different lines until his marriage, when he located at Leechburg. In 1896 he returned to Parks township, and taking one half of the homestead has oper- ated his 100 acres ever since, with profit to himself and to the further development of his valuable property, which is regarded as one of the best farms in his locality.
Mr. Parks is a member of the Presbyterian Church. Politically he is a Democrat, and has served as school director of his township, giv- ing the board the benefit of his practical knowledge of educational matters.

Dr. Keeler owns a fine farm of 145 acres in Plum Creek township, which is cultivated by one of his brothers.
