He served for a number of years as school di- rector, and was deeply interested in the public welfare of the community, as well as matters of state. In politics he was independent, and was an ardent advocate of the single tax theory. He may well be said to have been one of the most enterprising and successful business men of Slatedale, for to him the cown owes much of its material prosperity. He was a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church, and the organizer of the Slatedale Union Sunday school, whose superintendent he was for many years.

In 1888 he moved to Slatington, where he re- sided until his death, which occurred in Dec., IS97.

which he entered his father's store as an assist- ant, remaining there until 1888, when he became the owner, having purchased the same from his father. In 1884 he was married to Annie Hughes, daughter of Ellis Hughes. The union was blessed with five children: Norman, of Slatedale; Ralph, of Cleveland, Ohio; Emma, married to Roy Boyce, of Lewistown, Pa .; Car- rie, married to John Richards, of Slatington, and Frank, of Slatedale. In politics he adhered to the principles of the Republican party. He was a first-class penman and accountant, and served Washington township as one of its auditors from the year 1898 up to his death.

He is the present postmaster, having been ap- pointed during the administration of President McKinley.

He was a member of the uniformed ranks of Star of the North Commandery, No. 92, A. I. O. Knights of Malta, of Slatington. Also a member of the Citizens' Fire Company of Slate- dale. In religion he was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of Slatedale, having joined the same while yet a young man.

At the time of his death he was one of the trustees. He is buried in the Slatedale cemetery.

THOMAS H. SHENTON was born at Slatedale in the year 1863. Upon completing his education he learned the art of slate and marble cutting at Philadelphia, in which business he engaged in 1883, and continued for a period of fifteen years. He subsequently removed to Slatedale where he operates a slate quarry in which he employs from 50 to 60 men. He is the largest manufac- turer and has the best equipped plant, of slate for electrical purposes in the country. He invented nearly all of the machinery in use in his large plant. His products are sold entirely upon merit without ever having employed a salesman. They are sold under the name of the "Thomas H. Shenton Slate Products." His plant was never closed down for want of orders and it is working the steadiest in the slate region.

Mr. Shenton owned the valuable property now known as the Shenton Land Company, until 1905, at which time he sold it to the present owners. Since 1907 he owns and operates a farm of 70 acres, located in Washington township.
