SAMUEL W. H. WALTZ was born in Anthony township, Lycoming county, 

 Pa., January 8, 1869. He wa.s educated in the public schools, Muncy high 

 school, Lyconung County Normal Schu<jl and Williamsport Dickinson Semi- 

 nary. He taught in the public schools for several terms, and was afterwards 

 elected a member of the school board of his native township. His home 

 has always been on the farm, and he grew to manhood among scenes and 

 circumstances that thoroughly iiiiluud him with an intense love for nature 

 and the intrinsic value of self-reliance. Mr. Waltz is essentially a self-made 

 man, experience being his best teacher. He began to study agricultural 

 science in boyhood and ever since has strenuously endeavored to follow those 

 principles taught him by experience. He regards experience his safest teacher, 

 but is ahvays ready to entertain, with due consideration, what others may 

 have acquired and ever anxious to profit by their diligence and reseach, 

 which stand him in good stead to acquire those elements of knowledge that 

 go to make up a progressive and up-to-date agriculturist. He is particularly 

 fond of horticulture, botany, ornithology, apiculture, geology and astronomy, 

 all of which bring him in close touch with every-day life on the farm.
