Mr. Dinnison is a Prohibitionist, and in religion, a member of the Lutheran church. He has served as school director and township treasurer.

Honorable and upright in all his dealings, he enjoys the respect and esteem of the community.


ISAAC F. BLACK was born in Columbia county, Pennsylvania, October 16, 1835. He obtained a common school education, and also a good knowledge of book-keep- ing, after which, in 1856, he began clerking in Jeansville, Luzerne county. He was soon after promoted to book-keeper, and in 1860 formed a partnership with J. F. Randolph, Jr., and continued merchandising in that place. He later sold his interest and removed to Rohrsburg, Columbia county, where he engaged in the general mercantile business. In 1882 he came to Morris, Tioga county, and pur- chased the Black Hotel property, from William Black, and carried on that business successfully until 1893, when he rented the house to E. A. Kennedy, his son-in-law. In 1866 he married Emma E. Kleiber, who bore him one daughter, Ella, now the wife of E. A. Kennedy, of Morris. Mrs. Black died December 23, 1894. In politics, Mr. Black is a Democrat. He is Past Chancellor of Woodland Lodge, No. 375, K. of P., of Hoytville, and is also a member and financial secretary of Washington Camp, No. 624, P. O. S. of A., of the same place. He has filled the offices of school director and auditor, and is one of the best known citizens of Morris township.


THOMAS J. BIRMINGHAM, son of Thomas and Mary (Brooks) Birmingham, was born at Pine City, Chemung county, New York, February 9, 1870. His parents were natives of Ireland and came to Elmira, New York, in 1866, later removing to Pine City, where his father became a tannery employe. In 1878 he came to Tioga county, settling at Millerton, Jackson township. He afterwards became a railroad employe, and was accidentally killed at Seely Creek, New York, June 10, 1886. His wife died at Pine City, October 5, 1876. To Thomas and Mary Birmingham were born six children, viz: Patrick, a resident of Morris; Mary, wife of John Leonard, of Blossburg; Annie, wife of John McNamara, of the same place; Thomas J., of Morris; Bridget and Michael, also residing in Morris. The subject of this sketch received a common school education, and when fifteen years of age entered the store of W. W. Tate, of Morris, for whom he clerked one year. The following eight years he was in the employ of R. R. Kelts, of the same place, whom he bought out, April 1, 1896, and is now one of the leading merchants of the town. In poli- tics, he is a Democrat, and is the present postmaster of Morris. He is a member of the Catholic church and is connected with the A. O. H. and the C. T. A. societies, being now secretary of Sacred Heart Branch of the latter organization. Though a young man, Mr. Birmingham ranks as one of the leading business men of Morris. His success in business has been due to painstaking industry; a conscientious dis- charge of duty from day to day; a genial and courteous bearing, and a high regard for honor and honesty in all his dealings.
