Immediately upon leaving college he was employed by George W. Ruby, as assistant teacher in the York County Academy, in the borough of York. At this place he was employed in teaching for a period of three years, imparting instruction in the Latin language, in algebra, geometry, mathematics and English grammar. During this time he prosecuted the study of the law under N. L. Fisher, Esq., and was admitted to the York County bar in November 1868. He was a candidate for and elected to the office of clerk of the county commissioners soon after his admission to the bar. In this posi!

At the expiration of his term of office he was honored, by the county commissioners of the county of York, by a unanimous election as their counsel, and was reappointed for a period of three years. In June 1880, he was a candidate before the Democratic county convention for the nomination for district attorney of the county. He was nominated by the convention and elected by the people at the election following, and served in the office for three years. He continued in the practice of his profession alone until 1885, when he associated himself in the practice of law with Frank Geise and Joseph R. Strawbridge, Esqs. From boyhood he was fond of politics, and there has been no campaign, county, State, or national, in which he has not prominently figured. He has several times been elected delegate to State conventions of the Democratic party, and at the Allentown State convention, in the spring of 1884, was chosen as the delegate of t!
he Nineteenth Congressional District to represent it in the national D
emocratic convention, which met in Chicago in July of the same year, and nominated Cleveland and Hendricks for president and vice president of the United States.

Rev. Daniel Ziegler, D. D.
Historical Biography
Rev. Daniel Ziegler was born in Reading, Penn., on June 11, 1804. After he attained the age of twenty-one years, he entered the University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, where he remained for a time and then came to York, as a student of theology in the theological seminary of the German Reformed Church. It was under the presidency of Rev. Dr. Mayer. About the year 1828, he became pastor of the Krentz Creek charge. It included the Reformed congregations in the Canodoeholy valley, and continued his services in that charge for a period of thirty-seven years, and served eighteen years as pastor of the German Reformed congregation in York. Early in his ministerial work he turned his attention to the new science of entomology, and in connection with Dr. Melsheimer of Davidburg, became quite proficient in classifying insects, and in the study of their characteristics. He entered into a correspondence with many noted personages, who were interested with him in the same departme!
nt of scientific investigation. Ursinus College conferred on him the title of doctor of divinity. He died in York, May 23, 1873.
