to the present time amounts to many hundred thousand dollars. Mr. Kuhns' foresight, his thorough business methods, his ability of a high order, and his unquestioned integrity, had made him a benefactor to his community which reveres and respects his memory to the present day. Aside of his multitudinous business cares he served Slatington borough as a justice of the peace for twenty-six consecutive years, then declining a re- election; was elected burgess of Slatington in 1892; and also served in other minor offices. He was a Republican up to the time of the second election of General U. S. Grant, when he became a supporter of the principles of the Democratic party.

Mr. Kuhns was a charter member of the Knights of Honor; a consistent member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and a superin- tendent of the old Union Sunday school for a period of fifteen years. He also was a teacher of a large Bible class, and gave with a liberal heart and hand towards all local institutions which were intended for the uplift of the com- munity of which Mr. Kuhns was an integral part.
