deep interest in his own community and the community at large, a factor that brings him into substantial favor with the entire progressive body of our population.


He was born in Wales, British Isles, March IS, 1880. His father, Daniel L. Williams, settled in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, in 1886 where he became a mining contractor and later served the Susquehanna Coal Company as mine foreman at Mt. Carmel, Pennsyl- vania, for a period of twenty-five years. Daniel L. Williams was a brother of John L. Williams, who was superintendent for the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Com- pany and the Susquehanna Coal Company, serving them in this capacity for a period of about thirty years. He was considered one of the best mining men in the anthra- cite coal fields. Daniel L. Williams' death occurred at Mt. Carmel, in 1923, in his seventy-sixth year. His wife, Elizabeth (Jones) Williams, also a native of Wales, born in 1851, still survives (1930).


John J. Williams received his elementary education in the public schools of Shenan- doah, Pennsylvania, and at the age of eleven years began work as a breaker boy. He worked in and about the mines for a period of over ten years. Determined to acquire an education, he was studious and frugal. In 1902 he entered as a student at Buck- nell Academy, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, and completed his course in Civil Engineering at Bucknell University, graduating in the class of 1908.


Since graduating from college Mr. Williams has had a wide and varied career. He has served in the capacity of teacher in public schools and colleges, having taught in the publio schools of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, Pennsylvania; Broaddus Institute, Charlesburg, West Virginia, and at Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania. Since coming to Wyoming Valley he has also been an ardent worker in the Presbyterian Church of the Lackawanna Presbytery of which he is a member.


Mr. Williams has had an extensive experi- ence in the field of engineering, both mining and civil. He has served in this capacity for the following corporations: Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, D. L. & W. Coal Company, Hudson Coal Company, Lehigh Valley Coal Company, the Pittsburgh Coal Company, Scranton Electric Company, West- inghouse Electric Company, the Pennsylvania State Highway Department and the Luzerne County Road and Bridge Department.


Mr. Williams is one of the original found- ers of the Forty Fort State Bank and is now serving as a director of the same. He takes great pride in this institution, as it was through his untiring efforts that the idea of a bank in Forty Fort became a reality. The Forty Fort State Bank has made wonder- ful progress during its three years of opera- tion, a fact of which Mr. Williams is natu- rally proud.


John J. Williams was married, August 26, 1911, to Katherine M. Atherton of Clark Summit, Pennsylvania, daughter of William and Margaret (Baumgartner) Atherton, William Atherton was a descendant of one of the original forty settlers of Wyoming Valley. Mr. and Mrs. Williams are the par- ents of one son, Daniel Atherton Williams, born February 13, 1918.


ERNEST USTICK BUCKMAN. M. D., one of the well-known specialists of Wilkes- Barre, Pennsylvania, and a man who has long held a position of respect and esteem in that community, was born August I, 1863, at


Washington's Crossing on the Delaware, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Dr. Buckman is a son of M. Speakman and Mary (Taylor) Buckman, and a grandson of Stacy C. and Sarah (Briggs) Buckman. The Buckman family first came to this country with Wil- liam Penn, in the year 1682, and they are thus among the pioneer settlers of this State. For many generations the family was of Quaker faith, and almost every generation has given the major portion of the men to the soil-the Washington's Crossing home- stead having been farmed steadily for many generations. By his marriage to Mary Tay- lor, M. Speakman Buckman became the father of six children: 1. Elmer Ellsworth, now deceased, who was for many years the cashier of the Wyoming National Bank, at Wilkes-Barre. 2. Ernest Ustick, of whom further. 3. Margaret Taylor, deceased. 4. Elizabeth Taylor, deceased. 5. Sarah Ann, married William Mckenzie, of Westwood, New Jersey. 6. Eleanor, deceased, who had married Edward Bebout.


Ernest Ustick Buckman, the second son and second child of M. Speakman and Mary (Taylor) Buckman, was reared upon the homestead farm in Bucks County, and he received his early education in the public schools of that community. When he was eighteen years of age he attended the Mil- lersville State Normal School, graduating from there with the class of 1884. He then taught school for five years, one year in Altoona, Pennsylvania, one year in Lititz, Lancaster County, and three years in Wilkes- Barre. He then returned to his studies, pursuing his professional training at the Medical College of the University of Penn- sylvania. He was graduated from there with the class of 1892, when he received his degree as Doctor of Medicine; and returning to Wilkes-Barre, he at once began the practice of his profession as a physician and surgeon. For several years after coming to Wilkes- Barre he was associated with his uncle, Dr. Lewis H. Taylor, in practice, afterwards specializing in the diseases and treatment of the eye, ear, nose and throat. Today Dr. Buckman is considered one of the leading exponents in this phase of the twin sciences of medicine and surgery. He has been very active in his work, for he has served as a member of the staff of the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital for the last thirty-five years and he is at present the president of its board of directors. Dr. Buckman has also been active as a member of many of those learned organizations which pertain to his profession. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons; a member of the Amer- ican Medical Association, the Pennsylvania State Medical Society, the Luzerne County Medical Society, the American Otological So- ciety, the American Academy of Ophthal- mology and Oto-Laryngology, and the Lehigh Valley Medical Association.

He was born in Wilkes-Barre on January 27, 1896, the son of Dr. Ernest Ustick and Elizabeth (Thomp- son) Buckman. A biography of the father, Dr. Ernest U. Buckman, precedes this of his son.

JACOB PETER BREIDINGER-Teaching as a profession, and the direction of teach- ing, has proved of attraction to men of keen- est mind, and this fact is made manifest in the excellence of our teachers today. Jacob Peter Breidinger was early attracted to the profession. He went into it wholeheartedly, acquired experience in varied capacities as teacher and director before coming to Wilkes- Barre, and here, as principal of the high school, is carrying forward his work with a large degree of success, much appreciated by the people of the metropolitan area.


Jacob Peter Breidinger was born Novem- ber 13, 1861, at Stockertown, Pennsylvania. His father, Adam Breidinger, was born in 1840, in Plainfield Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Blacksmith by trade, he plied his trade continuously, notably at Stockertown, where he was accounted a citi-


zen of loyal public spirit and constructive force. His death occurred in 1884. Adam Breidinger married Angelina Uhler, native of Stockertown, born in 1839, and who died in 1901. Through her, Jacob Peter Bried- inger is descended of a house among the old- est in Pennsylvania, as the Uhler family was founded in this Commonwealth in 1732 and at one time owned what is now the site of Easton.


Having secured his elementary education in country schools, Jacob Peter Breldinger became a student at Kutztown Normal School, then took a fuller preparatory instruction at Trach's Academy, of Easton, after completion of which he matriculated in Lafayette College. Though a member of the class of 1882 at Lafayette, he was com- pelled to leave his course in 1881, and did not, therefore, take his degree as Bachelor of Arts until 1885. In I888 he took that of Master of Arts. Meanwhile, 1881 to 1885, he conducted the Munroe Academy, at Beau- mont, Pennsylvania, and then for eight years served as principal of the schools of Tunk- hannock. For eight years further he taught and was head of the mathematics depart- ment at Mansfield Normal School, Mansfield, Pennsylvania, having been vice-principal of this institution during the last seven years that he was there. It was in 1901 that he came to Wilkes-Barre as principal of the high school; and as principal he has con- tinued through the years following to the present (1930), or more than twenty-nine years as the school's principal. He has been the cause of numerous improvements in its conduct, and is recognized as one of the foremost educators of the State.


For more than four decades identified with the profession of teacher and school prin- cipalship, he is a member of the National Education Association, the Pennsylvania Edu- cational Association, the High School Depart- ment of the State Educational Association (ex-president), and the National High School Principals' Association. He was also one of the prime movers in the organization of Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Asso- ciation, and is deeply interested in athletic interests. Mr. Breidinger has been active also in other directions. He is a Republican, and has been a valued member of the party. Prominent in Masonry, he belongs to Temple Lodge, No. 248, at Tunkhannock; Tunkhan- nock Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; Wilkes- Barre Council, Royal and Select Masters; Temple Commandery, Knights Templar, of Tunkhannock, and Irem Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He has been Chief Rabban of the Temple for several years, and is now Potentate. Mr. Breidinger belongs to the Craftsman's Club, the Franklin Club, and is a communicant of the First Presbyterian Church.


On June 22, 1887, Mr. Breidinger was united in marriage with Mary R. Reynolds, of Tunk- hannock, daughter of Abner G. and Pauline (Billings) Reynolds. Mrs. Reynolds is now deceased. Mr. Reynolds is a veteran of the Civil War.


HARRY ALEXANDER SMITH, M. D .- In reviewing the record of Dr. Harry Alexander Smith, of Wilkes-Barre, especial attention should be drawn to his many accomplish- ments in orthopedics, one of the most humane departments of medical science, although Dr. Smith's practice is not confined to this one branch of his profession. For approxi- mately fifteen years he has been qualified for practice, and his career encompasses a brilliant record of service during the World

War, when he held a captain's commission in the Medical Corps, United States Army. Since the close of that conflict, Dr. Smith has confined his activities to the Wilkes- Barre district, and here has become a con- spicuous figure in non-professional spheres- social, fraternal, and civic.


Dr. Smith is a son of the late Harry and Hannah (Young) Smith, his father, a sta- tionary engineer during his mature life, and a native of England, having passed away in 1888. Hannah (Young) Smith was born in Weatherly, Pennsylvania, and survived her husband until 1925.


Harry Alexander Smith was born November 17, 1886, at Weatherly, Carbon County, Penn- sylvania, and obtained his education in the public schools there and at Newport Town- ship. Thence he continued his studies at Bloomsburg State Normal School, complet- ing the courses prescribed therein in 1911. Having chosen medicine for his life work, Dr. Smith matriculated at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, graduating with the class of 1915, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Dr. Smith obtained his hospital training through service as an interne in the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. Later he also served a year in that Institution as chief resident physician, became assistant to Dr. W. Clive Smith and was so engaged at the time this country entered the European conflict. Dr. Smith joined the Medical Corps, United States Army, was commissioned cap- tain, and sent overseas with the American Expeditionary Forces, where he remained for fifteen months. During that time he spe- cialized in orthopedic surgery, with the British and the American armies, and accom- plished much in restoring the human wrecks who, perhaps, provide one of the strongest arguments for peace. Dr. Smith received his honorable discharge in June, 1919, more than seven months after cessation of hostilities, and thereupon returned to Wilkes-Barre and reëntered practice. He now (1929) is caring for a steadily increasing clientele in general practice, and has become exceptionally re- nowned for his accomplishments in orthopedic surgery. In this department, he is orthopedic surgcon of the Wilkes-Barre General Hos- pital, and is a member of the hospital staff. He is also consulting physician of the Nan- ticoke State Hospital, and is chief surgeon for the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Company. Of a progressive nature, Dr. Smith remains alert to the new inventions and modern practices of his professions, and finds his medical society connections of great help in this commendable desire. He is a mem- ber of the Luzerne County Medical Society, the Pennsylvania State Medical Society, and of the American Medical Association. A Re- publican, Dr. Smith is a conscientious worker on behalf of his party's issues and candi- dates; he is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and seeks relaxation from the strain of professional duties in the West- of the Irem Temple Country Club. The doctor's fraternal connections are confined to two organizations, the Patriotic Order Sons of America, and the Masonic Order. In this last named fraternity he is a mem- ber of Landmark Lodge, No. 442, Free and Accepted Masons; Keystone Consistory, An- cient Accepted Scottish Rite, of Scranton, and of Irem Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, Wilkes-Barre. He also holds membership with the Wilkes-Barre- Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Smith is respected among his colleagues, and highly esteemed in the minds of his patients,


while at the same time he enjoys popularity in social spheres of this city.


Dr. Smith married, in April, 1925, Ethel V. Nicholson of Wilkes-Barre, daughter of Robert and Fannie (Neilson) Nicholson, and there are two children of this marriage: I. Harry A., Jr., born June 19, 1926. 2. Barbara Ann, born July 8, 1928.


GEORGE A. CLARK, M. D .- As this is written (1929), Dr. George A. Clark has been engaged in successful practice of medicine and surgery forty-four years, and all save five of those years have been spent in Wilkes- Barre. He is one of the foremost medical men of Luzerne County, well known through professional circles of the State.


Dr. Clark was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, September 6, 1861, son of Wil- liam and Sarah (Searight) Clark. His father, who was born at Hummellstown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, in 1822, lived to the age of sixty-three, his death occurring in 1885. He engaged as a farmer, and attained to prosperity and influence. Sarah (Sea- right) Clark was born in 1824, at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and died in 1903, at the age of seventy-nine.


Reared on his father's farm, Dr. Clark attended the schools available In Franklin County, entered Shippensburg State Normal School, where he took a special course, and for two years, (1880-81) taught school. Meanwhile his feeling for medicine as a career had increased markedly. In 1882 he matriculated in the School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, whence he took the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1885. He began to practice that year, open- ing offices at Shickshinny, where he con- tinued until 1890. In that year he came to Wilkes-Barre, resumed practice on a larger scale, and has engaged in it continuously thence onward.


Dr. Clark is a member of the county, State and American medical associations; a Repub- lican, he supports the party's principles with influence; and belongs to Lodge No. 442, Free and Accepted Masons; Shekinah Chap- ter, Royal Arch Masons; Dieu le Veut Com- mandery, No. 45, Knights Templar: Irem Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and to the Patriotic Order Sons of America, and the Wyoming Valley Country Club. Prominent in general affairs, Dr. Clark has twice served as city physician of Wilkes-Barre, first, from 1918 to 1920, and second, 1925-28. He is a communicant of the First Presbyterian Church. During the World War period he contributed financial and personal assistance to the several pa- triotic campaigns, notably to those of the Liberty Loan.


Dr. Clark married, in 1888, Elizabeth Teas- dale, of Macanaqua, Pennsylvania, adopted daughter of John and Sarah Teasdale; and their children are: 1. Margaret, wife of George Turell. 2. John Teasdale, married. abeth. 5. Helen, wife of Paul Dodson, of Wil- liamsport. There are ten grandchildren.


THOMAS J. WENNER, M. D .- Although still relatively young, Thomas J. Wenner has won wide reputation and an extensive prac- tice in medicine at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsyl- vania. Thoroughly trained in his profession, he began his practice here upon the conclu- sion of his service in the United States Army during the World War, and was immediately successful in his work. Dr. Wenner counts his own personal convenience and safety as nothing when opposed to his professional

duties and is active at all times in the care of the sick and injured to which high calling he has dedicated his life.


Dr. Wenner was born on May 4, 1894, in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, a son of Dr. Alfred J. Wenner, who was born at Wenners- ville, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, in 1853 and died in 1913, and of Katherine (Louder) Wenner, born at Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and still living. His father was graduated from the Medical Chirurgical College in 1884, and until the time of his death, practiced medi- cine in Wilkes-Barre, at No. 150 South Wash- ington Street, where his son now continues his work.


Thomas J. Wenner attended the Wilkes- Barre public schools and was graduated from the local high school in 1912. The following year he received the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, and in 1914 was graduated from the Medico Chirurgical College, Department of Chemistry, with the degree of Pharmaceu- tical Chemist. Finally he undertook the course of study in the Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania, and from this institution he was graduated in 1918, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. At this time he entered the Medical Corps of the United States Army, was later commissioned captain, and discharged with this rank in April, 1919. For the following six years, however, he was active in the organization of the Pennsylvania State Guard.


Meanwhile his independent professional career was well under way. In September, 1919, he returned to Wilkes-Barre, and began practice here, gradually increasing the field of his work, until now it has reached flatter- ing proportions, demanding all his time and attention. He has been a member of the staff at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital since 1920, serving as pathologist until 1925, and since that date as associate surgeon. Dr. Wenner is also a member of the Luzerne County, Pennsylvania State, and American Medical associations.


He has always maintained an interest in civic affairs at Wilkes-Barre, where he is a member of several local clubs and fraternal, medical and service organizations. Dr. Wen- ner worships in the faith of the Reformed Church, attending the First Church of this denomination at Wilkes-Barre.


CHARLES C. STEINERT-Beginning as a salesman in the paper trade, his employer having been his uncle, Herbert Grant, presi- dent of the Miller Paper Company, of New York, Charles C. Steinert, after eight years in that business left it abruptly and came to Wilkes-Barre, where he has made an out- standing success in his own business enter- prise. Not yet in the prime of life, he has achieved a high reputation as a business, man and citizen of this community, whose interests are in the development of local commerce and the maintenance of good gov- ernment. He possesses a personality of en- gaging quality, a friendly nature, a faultless integrity that are the best factors in promot- ing ambition and making staunch friends. He comes of famous patriotic stock, his ancestors on both sides having had their full share in the upbuilding of the country. His business is sound, his credit unimpeachable, his future limited only by his ambition, which seems boundless.
