George Wallace Delamater was born in Meadville, Pa., oa the 31st of March 1849, and has consequently j seen the full half of the fourscore years, the extreme limit of the life of man. Tie is the eighth genera tion of the family of Delamaters in Crawford county, Claude le Mnitre and his wile Hester, daughter of Pierre Du Hois, from whom he is descended, having been married in Holland, whither they had gone to escape religious persecution in 105:2, and in the same year omigranted to New Amsterdam, now New York. His maternal ancestry is traced back, for nine generations in this country, William Towne, from whom he is lineally descended, having settled in Salem, Massachuetts in 1640. Salem Towne, the educator, was a descend ant from this branch of the family and the late Schuyler Colfax and Governor Tod from the Delamater branch. No family has displayed aj more patriotic devotion to country, whether in the earlier or later strug gles lor free institutions and their perpetuity than this, the rolls of the army in every fresh encounter bear-j : ing with honor the name of Deliv-j mater. The father of Mr. Delamater, the! Hon. George B. Delamater, known, throughout the borders ot the Com-; monwealth, having represented the Crawford and Erie district in the' State Senate, and has proved him- 1 self not only a wise and prudent legislature, but an able and success ful business man. Largo interests have been entrusted to him with implicit confidence, aud never has the trust been abused. The Family niiuc has never been tarnished audj is to-day the synonym of honor. j The son received a common school j education and, what its far better.| the tutelage and guidance of a cul tured and pious mother, lu duej oourse be entered as a student in : Alleghany College, one of the oldest; of the colleges of better class in the; country. He acquitted himself withl honor as a student and bore »vith him at his graduation the esteem audi regard o( his associates and his in-! structors. Purposing to adopt tliCj law as his profession, lie entered the Harvard Law School, and after the required period of study was ad-j initted to practice in the courts of Crawford. Possessing himself of a library of rar* excellence aud a mis cellaneous collection of the best in, scieuce and polite literature, he sat down to the practice, of his pro-j fession with every prospect of a, brilliant career. His training hadj been thorough and ample, and his tastes were professional. But after some three yearn de voted to his profession, openings for large business enterprises pre-j senting themselves, ho entered upon, them with all his manly vigor, andj has been successful. He is at the head of the banking house of Del-. amater & Company, a director of the Merchants' National bank of Meadville, president of the company and owner of controlling interests in the Meadville and Linesville rail road, president of the Meadville, Fuel Oas company, and connected with other local enterprises. While engrobted in large business transactions, he has been given to' educational and philanthropic en-l terprises. In participating in pub lic atlairs, says a writer, Mr. Del amater has been intluenced more by a desire to harmonize conflicting and warring interests and factions than tor personal or selfish advancement. To subserve the good ot the public., to uphold a broad, vigorous, reason able end aud just policy instate and nation, has been his settled, un [ yielding purpose. To give to every, • innri of whatever faction, or clique, a 'fair hearing and bis legitimate in fluence—in short, to forego the dictation of musters and return to the simplicity of Mie best days of ' party management-—has been the cardinal doctrine in his political i life. , How well his principles have been (approved is shown by his advance ment. He was Mayor of Meadville, in 187fi, Senatorial delegate to the Stabe Convention in 1878 and chair , .i.an of the Republican county com mittee during the campaigns of 1878 'and 1870. In 1880 he was chosen a 'Garfield Presidential elector for Pennsylvania, and in 188(1 was elec ted to the State Senate. In all these positions ho had shown himself a safe and sagacious leader, harmoniz ing conflicting interests, pointing out the goal to success by the path of justice and honor without <>m jbittering political antagonisms, and to-day the party with which he is allied in Crawford county was never in a more united and healthy con dition. In early life Mr. Delamater ad opted the principals of the Republi can party. Indeed he was just be ginning to bloom into boyhood iwhen that party had its birth. There wore elements in this young and vigorous organization which 11V .»**' \ I faH • A ! ■ 7 f 4 112 V MRS. Q. W. DELAMATER. appealed to his youthful ; imagination, and when the contest ; lor supremacy in Kansas and Ne- j braska came on the public press teemed with the heated discussion iof partisans and eminent statesmen j |on the floors of Congress poured j forth their impassioned eloquence, : carrying their contentions even to violence, the young Delamater was \ alive to the cries of freedom, and was from the very outset in sym pathy with the men and the party that championed the rights of man and the ultimate freedom of the slave. The "Old John Brown" of the song was a neighbor to the Del iamaters, having carried on the busi ness of tanning in Richmond town, jship, Crawford county, near to the old Delamater homestead. Long J before the emigration to Kansas had set in or the troubles had culmina ted iu bloodshed, the old martyr was accustomed to discuds the right of the slave' and the power and pre. 'rogatives of the general government as against a state, and whether a state or national government would have control in the forts and arsenals !of the nation, whether there were in jslave state statute laws that would deprive an individual identified as of his liberty, if legally de feuded in the courts. These are kindred questions he was accustom ed to discuss with great metaphysi cal acuteuess. i During his term in the Senate he has shown marked ability and has honestly and fairly achieved the place of leader in that body, though surrounded by men much older and more experienced than himself. Re cognizing his ability he was made |chairman of the committee on banks and banking, and a member of the committee oil finance, judiciary general, railroad* and other less im~ pot tan I ones. i ' YTVHEASURER'S SALE OP UNSEATED LANDS Agreeably to the provision of an Act of As sembly entitled : '• An Act directing th mode of selling unseated lands for taxes," passed the 13th, day of March 1815, and the several srpplements thereto: I, Jacob Lorah, Treasurer of Sullivan county, do hereby give notice to all persons concerned, that unlets the County, Road, School and Poor taxes, due on the following tracts Of unseated lands, situated in said county, are paid before the date of sale, the whole, or such part of each tract as will pay the taxes and such costs chargeable there on, will be sold ai the Court House, in La- Porte, in said county of Sullivan, on MONDAY the NINTH (9th) day of June 1890, being the second Monday of June (tho sale to be continued by adjournment from day today, if deemed necessary,) lor arrearages of taxes due and assessed and costs accrued on each tract respectively : CUERRY TOWNSHIP.
