Patrick H. Walker, mentioned above as the brother of Dr. John P. Walker, was born March 7, 1878, in Olyphant, where he received his pri- mary education in the common schools, and sub- sequently took advantage of the higher schools of Scranton. He graduated from Baltimore Medical College in the class of 1904. While pursuing his course of study and during vaca- tions he availed himself of the practice and op- portunities for observation afforded by the best hospitals of Baltimore. He is now practicing with his brother, Dr. John P. Walker.
WILLIAM C. FAHRINGER, architect and builder, junior member of the firm of Isaiah Fahringer & Son, of Nanticoke, is a native of Columbia county, Pennsylvania, born May 4, 1871.
The paternal great-grandfather was Harmon Fahringer, a native of France, who married. a woman born in Holland. They emigrated to Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, in company with his two brothers, who became separated from one another and were never heard of afterward. Harmon and wife-the American emigrants- were the parents of twelve sons, all of whom

grew to manhood, and one named Lucas was the grandfather of William C. Fahringer. He mar- ried Lena Gabel. They were both natives of Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, where they be- came prominently identified with agricultural pursuits. Their family consisted of twelve chil- dren, all of whom were sons, and they became worthy citizens of this commonwealth, some of them filling offices of trust and responsibility. Lena (Gabel) Fahringer was one of a family of sixteen children. She was born April 8, 1820, at Centralia, Pennsylvania, and died at Nanti- coke, November 15. 1905.
Isaiah Fahringer, father of William C. Fahringer, was born in Columbia county, Penn- sylvania, 1848. In that neighborhood he was reared, educated, learned the trade of builder, and resided up to 1887, in which year he re- moved with his family to Nanticoke, Luzerne county. In 1887, in company with Frank Fahringer, and since then the business has been ufacture of sashes, blinds and doors, and this connection continued until 1897. when his son William C. purchased the interest of Frank Fahringer and since then the business has been conducted under the style of Isaiah Fahringer & Son. Mr. Fahringer was united in marriage to Clara Doane, who bore him two sons, Robert and William C. Mr. and Mrs. Fahringer reside in Brunswick, Pennsylvania.
After receiving a practical education in the common schools of Nanticoke William C. Fahrin- ger took up the study of architecture in the In- ternational Correspondence School of Scranton, which course of training thoroughly qualified him for his present position in the firm of which he is the junior member, having purchased the interest of Frank Fahringer in 1897. The firm have extensive shops, where they manufacture sashes, blinds and doors, and they have always on hand a choice supply of builders' materials. The work of the firm extends over a large part of the Wyoming valley, and they have erected a large proportion of the leading buildings in Nanticoke. They make a specialty of inside hardwood finish. Mr. Fahringer is a member of Order of Heptasophs, and Independent Or- der of Odd Fellows, being a past noble grand and a member of the Encampment. Like his forefathers he takes an active part in the Meth- odist Church and casts his vote with the Repub- lican party.
Mr. Fahringer married in 1891, Rosina Har- vey, a native of England. Their children are: Karl, born 1895; Irma, born 1898; Wilbur, born 1902, and Bessie, born 1904.
MORGAN J. REES. No man in the Wyo- ming valley is better known or more highly re- spected than Morgan J. Rees, one of the leading business men of Nanticoke, whose successful ca- reer is a striking example of what can be ac- complished by industry, perseverance and pluck. He was born in Carmarthenshire, South Wales, May 7, 1851, and was there reared and educated.
In 1870, when nineteen years of age, being attracted by the possibilities offered to young men in the business world of the United States, he left his native land and became an adopted son of this great and glorious country. He lo- cated in Frostburg, Maryland, and there en- tered the employ of a grocer. In 1872 he re- moved to Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, settling at Jeanesville, where he entered the employ of the Spring Mountain Coal Company, with whom he remained fifteen years, nine of which he served in the capacity of foreman, discharging his du- ties with fidelity and promptitude. In 1887, at the expiration of this period of time, he located in Nanticoke and engaged in mercantile pur- suits. He opened a store on Market street, which proved most remunerative, and in 1898 opened another store, both of which are under his personal supervision and management. In addition to this property he is the owner of two double blocks, three single houses and several business houses besides, from which he derives a goodly rental-about four thousand dollars per annum. As a citizen Mr. Rees is progressive and public-spirited, willing to promote all plans which have for their object the welfare of the people. He is a member of the Congregational Church of Nanticoke, and a member of the Or- der of Eagles. He gives his political allegiance to the Prohibition party.
In 1881. while a resident of Jeanesville. Mr. Rees married Almina Meek, a native of that town, and the issue of this union was five chil- dren : John H., Morgan G., Anna B., Alfred and Leroy. The mother of these children died Jan- uary 9, 1893. Mr. Reese married for his sec- ond wife Mary Meek, of Reading, Pennsylva- nia, the ceremony being performed in 1894. They are the parents of one daughter, Almina May. born May 27. 1896.
JAMES V. DALY. Success in business life depends so entirely upon individual merit that when one has attained a place of prominence, as has James V. Daly, a representative business man of Nanticoke, it is an unmistakable evidence of ability, natural and acquired.
The parents of James V. Daly are Michael

and Elizabeth ( Keating) Daly, who were united in marriage May 24, 1854, and whose family consisted of five children, namely : William, born February 28, 1855; John, born April 25. 1857, deceased ; James V., born January 31, 1859, men- tioned hereafter ; Martin, born December 2, 1862; and Michael, born January, 1867. In 1869 Mr. Daly lost his life in the great mine disas- ter, and this sad occurrence threw his widow and four children upon their own resources. In 1884 Mrs. Daly, with the assistance of her two sons- James V. and Michael-turned their attention to the mercantile business, which has developed by good management into one of the best patronized and most profitable stores in Nanticoke. Eliza- beth (Keating) Daly was born in Ireland, De- cember 14, 1836, a daughter of John and Cath- erine (Kealey) Keating, who were the parents of seven children: Bridget, Elizabeth (Mrs. Daly), James A., Patrick, deceased; John, de- ceased; Michael and Catherine Keating. John Keating (father) was born in Queens county, Ireland, in 1803. In 1837 he and his wife emi- grated from their native isle to the United States, locating in Minersville, Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, where their children were born and where they remained up to 1856, when they removed to Luzerne county, locating at Nanti- coke, where Mr. Keating engaged in mining and farming. He was a man of marked intelligence, a deep thinker, took a prominent part in the so- cial improvements of the borough of Nanticoke, and his influence was always felt on the side of right. He was an enthusiastic supporter of Gen. Winfield Scott, one of the great American gen- erals, who was a candidate of the Whig party for presidency of the United States in 1852, but was defeated. Mr. Keating died at his home in Nanticoke, May, 1879. His wife passed away May, 1884. When John Keating first came to the state his place was on a stage line and was the headquarters for all the emigrants, whom he kept without pay until such time as they could locate, and many of the descendants of these peo- ple he also aided. This act of generous hospi- tality stands as a monument more sacred than marble shafts or bronze.
The educational advantages enjoyed by James V. Daly, while not as liberal as those of a college graduate, were practical and thorough, and the fund of knowledge he now possesses shows a remarkable retentive memory. Left at an early age without the governing influence or support of a father, he has hewn out for himself a career which is well worthy emulation. His store, situated on the corner of Noble and Market
streets, Nanticoke, is one of the flourishing es- tablishments of the borough. It is stocked with a complete line of general merchandise, which comes direct from the factory and is retailed to his customers at a reasonable profit.
WILLIAM HENRY DODD. Wyoming county is justly proud of the fact that among its citizens there are a goodly number who have rendered service to their country at large and to the community in which they live, both on the battlefield and in the council chamber. None in the ranks of these loyal citizens holds a more honorable place than William H. Dodd, of Fac- toryville. He comes of old New England stock, his ancestors having been residents of Connecti- cut.
Edward Dodd was born in New York state, but passed the greater part of his life in Penn- sylvania. He was a moulder by trade, and an industrious, useful man. His estimable wife was Sarah A., also a native of New York state, daughter of Isaac Lacey, who emigrated to Pennsylvania, and in honor of whom Laceyville received its name. Mr. and Mrs. Dodd were the parents of four sons, two of whom are now living, one of them being William H., men- tioned hereafter. There were also born to them three daughters, all of whom survive to the present day.
William H. Dodd, son of Edward and Sarah A. (Lacey) Dodd, was born December 31, 1844, at Skinner's Eddy, Wyoming county, and re- ceived his education in his native place and also at Tunkhannock, whither his parents moved when the lad was twelve years of age. Two years later the family took up their abode in Montrose, Susquehanna county. There, under the instruction of his father, William H. learned the moulder's trade, which he had followed but a short time when the cloud of civil war dark- ened the land, and multitudes of loyal citizens rallied to the defense and preservation of the Union. Although but seventeen years of age, Mr. Dodd felt within him the stirrings of the patriotic spirit which had animated his fore- fathers in their struggle for independence, and on October 10. 1861, was enrolled as a member of Company H. Fifth Artillery, Pennsylvania Volunteers, under command of Col. Harvey Brown. During his military service he was pro- moted to the rank of corporal, and later, for brave and meritorious conduct, to that of first sergeant, which he held during the remainder of his term of enlistment. His regiment partici- pated in the battles of first Bull Run, Shiloh,
den les

Pittsburg Landing, Port Hudson, Gettysburg, Winchester, Spottsylvania, Petersburg and many minor engagements. Near Camp Gilbert, Ken- tucky, Mr. Dodd received a serious wound in the leg by the bursting of a shell, and on Sep- tember 19, 1863, he sustained a gunshot wound, as the result of which he lost an index finger. It was not only on the battlefield that Mr. Dodd gave proof of his devotion to his country, but in the endurance of the far more trying ordeal of captivity. For a time he suffered incarceration in one of the southern prisons. February 9, 1865, he was honorably discharged at the ex- piration of his term of enlistment, and February 14 of the same year re-enlisted for three years in the same regiment. He was one of those de- tailed to guard the person of Jefferson Davis in 1865 and '66, during which time the latter was a prisoner of war at Fortress Monroe. At this place, during the summer of 1866, he served as orderly to Gen. Nelson Miles, and in the autumn of that year rejoined his battery. He was honorably discharged February 14, 1868, at Columbia, South Carolina.
On his return to civil life Mr. Dodd resumed his former occupation of moulding. He settled in Susquehanna county, and there faithfully and systematically labored at his trade, his industry and : ability meeting, in the course of time, with the success which they so richly merited. In 1897 he moved to Fac- toryville, where he has ever since resided. Mr. Dodd's devotion as a citizen has been equal to that. which he displayed as a soldier. Ever liberal and progressive, he has sought by every means in his power to advance the best interests of his township and county, and his neighbors have testified to their appreciation of his good qualities by making him chief burgess of the borough of Factoryville. He entered upon the duties of his office in May, 1904, and is one of the most popular and energetic officials of the town. He belongs to Captain Rice Post, Grand Army of the Republic; is a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, and affiliates with the Northern Commandery, No. 16. Politically he is an ardent and active Republican.
Mr. Dodd married, July 13, 1869, Harriet P. Hepburn, of Tunkhannock. Wyoming county, and two children have been born to them: Liz- zie E. and George A., now deceased. Mrs. Dodd is an active member of the Ladies of the G. A. R. and the Order of the Eastern Star.
JOHN LENTES. No citizen of Scranton enjoys greater popularity or more truly deserves
the honors which have been conferred upon him than John Lentes. Both by birth and ancestry Mr. Lentes is a German, and while numbered among the most loyal of American citizens still cherishes a warm affection for the home of his childhood and youth.
1, Peter Lentes, father of John Lentes, was born in Germany, and was a carpenter by trade. In 1890 he came to the United States, and is now a resident of Pittston, Pennsylvania. His wife was Christina Schuessler, also a native of Ger- many, and they were the parents of two chil- dren : John, mentioned at length hereafter, and a daughter who is now deceased. Mrs. Lentes, the mother of these children, died in her native country.
John Lentes, son of Peter and Christina (Schuessler) Lentes, was born August 7, 1856, in Germany, and received his preparatory edu- cation in the common schools, in one of which at the age of fifteen he became assistant teacher. He afterward entered Strasburg Academy, from which he graduated in 1877. After receiving from the government a certificate which honcred him with the dignity of being a government teacher, he engaged for a time in educational work, fully demonstrating his ability as a teach- er. In March, 1881, he came to the United States and the same year settled in Scranton, where he opened a German school in the First German Presbyterian Church in Hickory street. In September of that year his services were sought by the Scranton Steel Company, who placed him in their draughting room, and when their mill was opened he became first weighmas- ter in the steel works. This position he retained for two years and a half, at the end of which time he was appointed by W. W. Scranton time- keeper for the raihnill, carpenter and foundry de- partments of the South works. After holding this office for two years he was promoted to be assistant to John O. Scranton, superintendent of the South works. This position he held until 1895, in which year he opened an insurance of- fice, becoming agent for the best fire and life insurance companies. He was successful in this enterprise and is still conducting the business. He is a stockholder in the South Side Bank. Mr. Lentes is a public-spirited citizen, and is now serving his second term as alderman of the Elev- enth ward. He is also a member of the sinking fund commission. In 1897 he was appointed notary public by Governor Hastings.
Mr. Lentes is a member of the Knights of Pythias, Cornet Lodge. No. 431, of Scranton, and the Mutual Aid Society of the Delaware,
444

Lackawanna & Western Shop. He is also a member of several musical societies, having re -. ceived in youth a thorough musical education, and having always been a devoted lover of the art. He is the organizer of the "Junger Maen- nerchor" and the singing section of "The Ar- beiter Benevolent Association," and a member of the Sin King Pond Commission. Politically he is a staunch supporter of the Democratic plat- form. He is a member of the German Presby- terian Church, and served for three years as an efficient superintendent of the Sunday school. For eight years he held the position of organist, and was the leading spirit in organizing a chorus which gave concerts and was instrumental in raising three thousand dollars with which to purchase a new pipe organ. During his service as organist he officiated on four memorable oc- casions: the laying of the cornerstone of the new church, the dedication of the building, the dedication of the chimes and the dedication of the new organ.
Mr. Lentes married, June 4, 1881, Magdalene Hampel, and four children have been born to them, three of whom are living: Carl F. W., Magdalene and George W. All these children in- herit the musical talent of their father, who has cultivated their gift. Carl F. W. Lentes is a patternmaker by trade, but nevertheless finds time for devotion to his art, training and lead- ing his own orchestra in the Presbyterian Church. He is a member of the Symphony So- ciety and the P. O. S. of A.
JOHN NICHOLS, of Dunmore, one of the pioneers of the Lackawanna valley, is a son of Thomas Nichols, who was born in England, where he was a needle-maker and an expert in tempering steel. In 1824 Thomas Nichols emi- grated to the United States and settled in Ban- gor, Maine, where he obtained a position in a marble quarry, his duty being to keep the tools tempered. After removing to the Lackawanna valley he turned his attention to mining, and be- came one of the most experienced miners in that part of the state. He was a member in good standing of the Masonic fraternity. His wife was Anna Jennings, also a native of England, and they had thirteen children, four of whom are living: John, mentioned hereinafter ; Jane Morey ; Victoria Oakley, and Susan Jacobus. The death of Mr. Nichols occurred in 1854, when he was but fifty-six years of age, and was the result of a gas explosion. His widow died at the venerable age of ninety-eight years.
John Nichols, son of Thomas and Anna
(Jennings) Nichols, was born October 30, 1827, in the state of Maine, and was but four years old when his parents moved to Providence, now part of the city of Scranton. He received his educa- tion in that part of Scranton known as Dodge- town, and afterward learned the mason's trade, which he followed during the remainder of his active life. In 1852 he entered the service of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, with whom he re- mained fifty-two years, proving himself one of the most competent and trustworthy men in the force. He has recently been honorably retired on the pension list. During these fifty-two years he has made his home in Dunmore, where he has built several houses and owns considerable real estate. He has always been a lover of the field and stream, and is one of the finest shots in the Lackawanna valley. He is the owner of a dozen of the best rifles and shotguns made, some of which cost as much as two hundred and fifty dollars. He is also an experienced fisher- man and can whip a stream and land his trout while the novice is wondering where he shall find a "lucky place."
Mr. Nichols married in 1853, Mrs. Sarah A. (Stewart) Beemer, and four children were born to them, all of whom are deceased. After the death of his first wife he married, July 23, 1901, Mrs. Mary (Herring) Keller.
CALVIN PERRIN. The branch of the Perrin family of which Calvin Perrin, of Lu- zerne, is a representative, traces its ancestry to John Perryn, born 1614, died September 13, 1674, aged sixty years. It appears that John Perryn came from London, England, in the "Safety," John Grant, master, in August, 1635, and landed at Braintree, near Boston, Massa- chusetts. There he married and lived until he, with Rev. Samuel Newman and his church, founded Rehoboth, Massachusetts, where he was buried. His name, variously spelled, subse- quently appears in the Rehoboth town records. Ann Perryn, supposed to be his widow, was also buried at Rehoboth, March 11, 1688. It is pre- sumed that she was one of the women named Ann, in the list of passengers that came in the same ship with John Perryn. Their children were : Mary, born Braintrec, December 22, I. 1640.
2. John ; he was no doubt in Rehoboth be- fore 1645. but died at Roxbury, prior to May 28, 1694, while temporarily residing there, probably with his son Noah. He married Mary
