It looks like he died young:
"Henry Zelt (b. Feb 1854, d. 24 Dec 1900)
Henry Zelt (son of Jacob Sr Zelt and Mary Maria Bartz) was born Feb 1854 in Washington, Washington, PA, and died 24 Dec 1900 in Washington, Washington, PA. He married Jane Underwood on 18 Jul 1888 in Washington, Washington, PA.
More About Henry Zelt and Jane Underwood:

"Brewery.—About 1845, Jacob Zelt came to Washington and commenced brewing. Four years later he removed to the west end of Belle Street, and purchased the property he at present owns, and started the brewing in a small way, and by degrees it has been brought to its present capacity. In 1873 the business was placed in charge of his sons, Louis and Adam, who now conduct it. They manufacture about three hundred barrels of beer annually." From.

Excellent research work once again. With only a 5 year run it can't be too common. It is hard to pass up a blob beer for 3 bucks anyway.
