  FRANK U. WALTMAN. - The important business corporations of the country,
  controlling extensive financial interests, will not retain in their employ
  inefficient men, and it is therefore unmistakable evidence of ability and
  faithfulness when one has been long in such a service. During more than a decade
  Mr. Waltman has represented the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company as station agent
  in Lopez, and is one of the most obliging and efficient men in this department
  of the railway service.
  
      He is one of Pennsylvania's native sons, his birth having occurred in
  Skinner's Eddy, on the 27th of April, 1862. His father, Thomas Waltman, was a
  lumberman, and in the pursuit of that business industry gained a comfortable
  livelihood for himself and family. He married Miss Lavina Vanloon, and to them
  were born ten children, seven sons and three daughters. A brother of our
  subject, J. E., is also in the railway service, being connected with the Lehigh
  Valley Railroad Company at Sayre, Pennsylvania. The father, Thomas Waltman, died
  in 1889, but the mother is still living and makes her home in Sayre.
  
      Frank Ulysses Waltman was reared in Bradford county of the Keystone state,
  and is indebted to the public-school system for the educational privileges which
  he received. However, reading and study have occupied much of his leisure time,
  and possessing an observing eye and retentive memory he has become a very well
  informed man. After entering the railway service he was stationed at Dushore for
  a time, and then, by reason of his fidelity and capability, was transferred to
  the more important position of station agent at Lopez, where he has remained for
  more than a decade. He has the entire management of the railroad interests at
  this place, and discharges his duties in a manner creditable to himself and
  satisfactorily to the corporation. Considerable business is carried on at this
  point, and the shipments are quite extensive, as high as eight hundred car-loads
  of lumber and brick being sent out from Lopez in a single month. He looks after
  the company's interests as though they were his own, and at all times is
  straightforward and honorable in his dealings, and genial and courteous in
  manner. These qualities have won him the high regard of the patrons of the road,
  and he is a very popular railway official.
  
      In Dushore Mr. Waltman was united in marriage to Miss Mary Brewer, a lady of
  culture and intelligence. She is a daughter of R. H. Brewer, a well known
  citizen of Dushore. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Waltman has been blessed with three
  children, - Lillie, Raymond and Anna. In the community the parents have many
  warm friends and the hospitality of the best homes of Lopez is extended them. In
  his political views Mr. Waltman is a Republican, and though not an aspirant for
  office keeps well informed on all the issues of the day, as every true American
  citizen should do.
