etc., for the army of the Tennessee commanded by General Thomas. in 1892-93 he was superintendent of buildings.
He has about 150 men in his employ. He is a thoroughly self-made man, and enjoys a position of assured honor and
respect among the people of his city. Hundreds of Buffalo's finest structures attest his skill and success.
