Frank, the son of Mary Ellery Beach and Moses Cleveland. MANY YEARS IN SERVICE. Frank Cleveland, the Veteran Baggage master at the Erie Station, Elmira, N.Y. It is with pleasure the TELEGRAM presents to its many thousand readers, this week, the picture and sketch of the life of one of the oldest, if not the oldest, railroad man in this part of the country. We doubt if there is a man who can show a cleaner record as a railroad man than Frank E. Cleveland, the veteran baggage agent at the Erie depot in this city. Frank was, prior to his railroading, a cabinetmaker, following his trade for about twenty years in Penn Yan, Yates county, N.Y. In 1853, when the old Niagara branch was completed between Elmira and the Falls, Frank went to firing an old wood burner. He ran as fireman but a short time, after which he went on as train baggage man, then was promoted to conductor, running as such till 1858, when he was placed in the baggage room at the old depot, working nights with old "Uncle" Joe Armstrong, who has been dead some years. Mr. Cleveland has worked continuously at the Erie depot, now completing his thirtieth year as station baggage agent, having with him Edson Wing, who has been there about twenty-one years, Charles Van Wagoner, who worked there for about eleven years and who quit and went on the road as a drummer, following that vocation for some three or four years and then returning about two and a half years ago, and Frank S. Howell, who is now completing his seventh year for the company. Frank E. Cleveland and Sarah Benjamin were married in 1840 and have reared five children—one boy, Harry, who is living at home, Mrs. Fanny Bartlett, Mrs. Nettie Russell and Mrs. Mary Thompson, all living and Mrs. Emma Haveland, who was buried at the age of thirty-four. Besides having such a record as a railroad man, Frank has something of a record as a Mason, having filled the master Mason's chair in Ivy lodge, been eminent commander of St. Omer's, No. 19, and is now filling the office of prelate, having been such officer for about twenty years. Mr. Cleveland is sixty-six years of age and is enjoying the best of health at present. He is justly regarded as one of the most honored and reliable citizens of Elmira.
