Twin sister of Mildred N. Walker, granddaughters of Erastus Wiman.
Erastus Wiman (1834-1904) was a developer, promoter, and businessman. His accomplishments included initiating central electric power, telegraph, and telephone service on Staten Island; constructing the first railroad bridge connecting Staten Island to New Jersey; operating and expanding local railroad and ferry service; and building a new, centralized ferry and rail terminal at St. George. Wiman founded the Staten Island Amusement Company, constructed a massive entertainment casino along the St. George waterfront, and a huge stadium at ”Erastina” near Elm Park, where he brought Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, sports events, concerts and spectacular dramatic productions. He eventually went bankrupt and was convicted of forgery (the conviction was overturned on appeal).

S.S. Olympic - Southampton to NYC May 1925
S.S. California - Glasgow to NYC Jun 1927
S.S. Majestic - Southampton to NYC Mar 1933
