"Portrait & Biographical Record of the Willamette Valley Oregon." Chicago: Chapman Publishing Company, 1903. p. 1410. ZACHARIAH TAYLOR KINTZLEY September 15, 1890, was the date of the arrival of Z. T. Kintzley in the state of Oregon, and with the exception of one month which was passed at Arlington, eastern Oregon, has made his home in Springfield, Lane county, engaging generally in the business of painting and paperhanging. He was born in Clay county, Ind., October 16, 1847, the son of George, a native of Virginia. The latter, when a young man, went to Louisville, Ky., and engaged at work as a cabinet-maker, and later located in Indiana, where he found more lucrative employment in the flour mill business. He first settled in Putnamville, Putnam county, where he remained until 1854, when he located in Story county, Iowa, there giving up his milling interests to engage in farming on a two-hundred-acre farm. His death occurred there in 1885. He had lived to see the country change from the pioneer conditions which prevailed when he first became a resident of that state to the city of Ames, which is the home of the state agricultural college, now located on land adjoining that which formed his property. The youngest of his father's children Z. T. Kintzley was reared in the state of Iowa, receiving his education in the common schools. In 1863, during the Civil war, when only sixteen years old he enlisted in Company B, Ninth Iowa Cavalry, serving with the Seventh Corps in the western department of the Seventh Army Corps. He participated in many of the notable battles of that momentous struggle and was mustered out in Little Rock, Ark., March 23, 1866, and received his discharge at Davenport, Iowa. He then went back to his home, and shortly removed with his mother to Woodbury county, near Sioux City, Iowa, where he engaged in farming, after which, in 1881, he settled in Sloan City. He was there employed in the cattle business and so continued until his removal to the west nine years later, locating then in Springfield, where he now lives. Since becoming a resident here he has built a residence which he sold, afterward buying another, and at present he is engaged in putting up a two-story building which is to be used for mercantile enterprises. The marriage of Mr. Kintzley took place in Iowa, Miss Many C. Cain becoming his wife. She was born in Wisconsin and died here in 1900, at the age of fifty-two years. Their four children are as follows : Ida Frances, deceased ; Alice, now Mrs. Bert Doane, who lives with her father; Edna Viola, deceased; and George Milton, also at home. In his fraternal relations Mr. Kintzley belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs, and is a member of Geary Post, Grand Army of the Republic. Politically he is a Republican and in the interests of his party he has served for six years as a member of the city council and has also served as road supervisor for one term.
