Aaron W. Mountz (1872-1949)
Aaron William Mountz was a laborer, a carpenter, a well-driller, and a lifelong resident of Cumberland County – and he was a woodcarver. While his work had started to be appreciated by private collectors toward the end of his life, he died not knowing that his hobby of carving small wood animals would make him known in the art world nationwide, with his work held in museums such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Museum of Folk Art.

Mr. Raphael Hays,
I read the book that you published for the 250th Anniversary of Cumberland County about your grandfather and from what I read, he did the town of Carlisle a lot of good in the positions that he had as a soldier, lawyer and businessman. I used to work at your plant but I never knew the background of the man that owned it.
