MINIUM, a prosperous business man of Carlisle, Pa., and dealer in musical instruments at No. 1 East High street, that city, has been engaged along this line since 1901 in Carlisle, and in other locations since 1892. His stock includes a full line of the best makes of pianos, organs and smaller musical instruments, and his field of operation extends over Cumberland county. Mr. Minium was born in Monroe township, Cumberland county, Dec. 20, 1866, a son of W. C. and Lucinda (Diller) Minium, both of whom are living. Like many country boys he was reared upon the farm, receiving a good education in the local schools, and learned the trade of painting, to which he gave his attention for seven years. About that time his mind reverted to his present business, in which he embarked, and whichhe has carried on very profitably ever since. Fraternally, he is a member of the M. W. of A., No. 5472; Royal Arcanum, No. 502; and the Knights of Pythias. On Jan. 19, 1899, Mr. Minium was married to Elizabeth Ellen Zeigler, daughter of Jacob Zeigler, of Middlesex township, this county. They reside in their pleasant home at No. 154 North Pitt street, where they welcome their many friends with a gracious hospitality. Mr. Minium is justly regarded as one of the leading young business men of the city, and is highly esteemed by all.
