Dealers, and has always been an active and honored citizen and an influential factor in politics.


Wiedman, Leonard, was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, in January, 1863, and came to America in 1883. He learned the trade of joiner in Germany, and after working for W. A. La Deaux for one year, entered the employ of Gombert & Thompson, and was in their mill for thirteen years. Mr. Wiedman was second assistant chief of the fire department, and was trustee of the village for two years. In the spring of 1886 he was again elected trustee by the Democratic party, and the village becoming a city, he held the office of alderman of the Third ward. He was a member of the Board of Health for two years. Mr. Wiedman is now in the con- tracting and building business, and has his residence on Felton street. He mar- ried Bertha Gombert, and they have two sons, Edward and George.


Warren, Charles H., was born in Porter, June 11, 1864, a son of Charles and Sophronia (Howder) Warren. Sophronia (Howder) Warren was born January 22, 1817, a daughter of Jacob Howder, one of the first settlers of Cambria and had one of the first grist mills in the county. Charles Warren was a farmer and had 134 acres of land ; he died May 11, 1872, and his widow in 1891. Charles H. Warren was reared on a farm and educated in the common schools. He is a farmer by occupa- tion and owns 180 acres in the town of Porter and follows general farming, making a specialty of fruit growing. December 8, 1886, he married Mary M. Griffiths, daughter of John M. and Isabel (Robinson) Griffiths, he born in Rensselaer county and she in Cambria. John Griffiths came to Cambria when ten years old with his parents, Peter and Margaret Griffiths, she a daughter of Herman Robinson, one of the early settlers of Cambria. The grandfather of the subject was James Warren, who spent his last days in Michigan. They date their ancestry back to Joseph War- ren of Revolutionary fame. To Mr. and Mrs. Warren were born two children: Verna S. and Chester A.


Saddleson, Ransom, was born in Cambria, N. Y., December 24, 1835, a son of Christopher and Cynthia (Holmes) Saddleson. The grandfather, Michael Saddle- son, came to Cambria, bringing his family just after the close of the war of 1812, and taking up about 150 acres of land, which is mostly owned by Ransom Saddle- son. Ransom Saddleson was educated in the common schools and has always resided on the homestead farm, making a specialty of grapes. In 1859 he married Laura E. Pardee, and they have four children: Loren, farmer at Cambria: Anna Bell and Lena Bell, died in infancy, and Sadie E., wife of James Gould of Syracuse, N. Y. Mr. Saddleson is a Democrat, but does not aspire to office.


Holland, Lewis, was born in St. Johnsburg, July 26, 1854, a son of Christian and Dorothea Holland, natives of Germany. Lewis Holland learned the harness trade and has pursued it up to the present. In 1884 he opened a hotel at St. Johnsburg, which he also conducts.

Rowe, Jay S., was born in Navarino, Onondaga county, N. Y., May 11, 1848, and came with his father, Gordon O. Rowe, to Johnson's Creek, in 1851. He received a good education and in 1877 engaged in the general mercantile business, in which he still continues. He is the leading merchant at Johnson's Creek, and one of the best known and most popular citizens of his town and county. In politics he is an ardent, active, and influential Republican, and served as supervisor from 1892 to 1896 in- clusive.


Southworth, Edmund Howard, son of Albert H. and Julia M. Southworth, was born August 5, 1855, in Lockport, N. Y. His education was received at the old Lockport Union School, and at the Hudson River Institute, from which he was grad- uated. He studied law with the late Sullivan Caverno, and was admitted to the bar in 1879. Soon afterward he became the local correspondent and agent for the Buf- falo Sunday Courier, and retained the same until a few weeks ago. His writings were peculiarly unlike those of any other person, being grammatically correct and ex- tremely clear and interesting, no matter what the subject. Thus he gained much prominence in the newspaper profession. Of late years he has handled all the Buf- falo Sunday papers sold in Lockport, successfully keeping the field to himself.


Vandervoort, Levant R., Wheatfield, was born in North Tonawanda, June 16, 1860, and educated in the schools of that place. He engaged in the lumber business at the age of fourteen and has been connected with it ever since. In 1891 he be- came a member of the well known firm of Smith, Fassett & Co., one of the most prominent lumber firms of the Empire State. He has always taken a lively inter- est in the welfare of North Tonawanda, and served three years as village trustee. Mr. Vandervoort is a staunch Democrat, and his services as trustee and his well known interest in the welfare of the city brought about his election as president of the village in 1895 in the face of a majority for most of the nominees on the Repub- lican ticket. As president he introduced a number of reforms and village improve- ments, and he was especially successful in securing valuable concessions from rail- way corporations. Mr. Vandervoort is descended from one of the oldest and most influential families in this section of the State. His parents are Jackson D. and Sarah (Ransom) Vandervoort. In 1893 he was married to Annie F. Fassett. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, Blue Lodge and Chapter. Mr. Vandervoort is a type of the young, progressive, successful American business men, who find time to devote to the interests of their home city, and who are largely responsible for the great progress that American municipal government has made in recent years.


Biggins, Jesse G., was born in Cambria, N. Y., November 14, 1869, a son of Jede. diah Biggins, born in Canada, January 1, 1837, and Huldah (Swick) Biggins, born in Tompkins county, February 20, 1849. The grandfather of Jesse G., Jedediah Biggins, was born and died in Canada. Jedediah Biggins, father of Jesse G., has been a blacksmith since sixteen years of age and worked at his trade in the army. He enlisted August 25, 1862, in the 23d N. Y. Independent Battery, and served three years, being discharged July 14, 1865. He is a member of the Ransomville Lodge No. 551, F. & A. M., and Peter A. Porter Post No. 26, G. A. R. Jesse G. Biggins was educated in the common schools and learned the blacksmith trade with his father. In 1893 he came to Wilson and in 1894 bought of Mr. Markel the shop he

now owns, where he carries on a very successful business. He is a Republican and a member of the A. F. I. U. of Wilson. February 10, 1891, he married Emma Hay- ner of Wilson, N. Y., and they have three children, Pearl, Harry and Ralph H.


Bronson, Noah Lee, son of Lee and Armanda (Upson) Bronson, was born at Litch- field, Conn., on February 5, 1814. He had one brother, Sheldon, still living at Niles, Mich., and one sister, Armanda, who died during childhood. When Noah was five years old he came to Niagara county with his parents and therein resided the re- mainder of his life. It may be seen by the dates above that he came to this county in 1819, making him one of the very earliest settlers. The family settled upon a spot in the then dense forest about one mile north of what is now Reynales Basin. The men folks cleared a good sized farm and built a log cabin in which the family lived for nearly three years. From there the family moved to what is now known as the Peter Failing farm in the town of Royalton and lived there about two years when they moved to the "Tavern " at Reynales Basin. There the senior Bronson died. Noah succeeded to the estate and retained the same and there lived until 1886. At the age of twenty-four years he married Miss Sophia Worthington, daughter of Sam- uel and Nancy Worthington, nee Miller, and to them were born a son and a daugh- ter, George W., and Helen A., both of whom are now living, the son in Kansas City and the daughter, now Mrs. A. S. Gooding who resides in the city of Lockport. Noah Lee Bronson was a man most highly respected for his many sterling, manly qualities. For honesty, truthfulness, charitableness and morality he had no super- iors and few equals. He was a total abstainer from tobacco and intoxicants. For twenty-six consecutive years he was postmaster at Reynales Basin, and then volun- tarily relinquished the office in 1886 because he had grown feeble in health and with his wife went to live with his daughter in Lockport, where he died on March 17, 1893. His widow survived him until December 25, 1895. They lie buried side by side at Cold Springs Cemetery.
