Leon Weller To Retire from Freight Service
Bainbridge News & Republican, Aug. 25, 1938
Leon Weller of the D.H. Freight department will be retired from the outskirts of Otego [Otsego Co., NY] and plans to move active service in October. He has bought a small farm on the outskirts of Otego and plans to move there next Spring.
He began his railroad work when but a lad in his teens in our local depot [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], where Charles Briggs, for many years the telegraph operator, taught him telegraphy. His first position was at Tunnel where he served as freight agent as well as operator. Later, he was returned to Bainbridge as freight agent, to fill vacancy caused by the death of Mitchell Roberts. He has had two transfers since, one to Altamont, then to Oneonta where he has been for the past several years.
Mr. Weller was a Bainbridge boy, the son of the late Mrs. Georgia Weller and brother of Mrs. Gertrude Hancock of Bixby St. Mrs. Weller is the sister of Seba Hollenbeck. They have a daughter who is head instructor of homemaking in North High School at Binghamton; and a son who is cashier of a Middleburg Bank.
