EDWARD M. KUNTZ, the popular proprietor of the hotel Orient, at Wellsville, Ohio, was born in Lycoming county, Penn., on the 30th of September, 1857.  Soon after his birth his parents, Lewis and Eleanor (Hay) Kuntz, removed to Clifford county, Penn., where young Edward  was reared.  His mother was the daughter of Mr. Hay, who came to this country from Bavaria in 1822, and settled in Pennsylvania, where he worked at the miller's trade until 1855, when he embarked in farming, and also operated a large lumber business.  He lived to be eighty-five years if age.  He was a member of the German Reform church, as was also his wife.  For three years he was a commissioner of Clifford county, Penn.  Having received a good education, and having been brought up to a farmer's life, in 1875, Edward Kuntz was joined in marriage to Miss Anna E. Henderson, whose parents were Samuel and Hortense (Brisbine) Henderson, natives of Pennsylvania.  Mr. Kuntz began life's battle without a dollar.  His first start was obtained by clearing land.  He took a contract to clear twenty acres of heavily timbered land in Pennsylvania.  He resided in the latter state until May, 1890, at which time he removed to Wellsville, and embarked in the hotel business, having previously operated a hotel in Jefferson county, Penn., for four years, and also one at Du Bois, Clifford county, Penn., for an equal length of time.  For a year and a half Mr. Kuntz lived at Fort Smith, Ark., where he was engaged in business.  Sine coming to Wellsville he has made a host of friends, and is considered one of the best of hotel men.
