Goodyear, Frank H., Buffalo, chairman Board of Directors and first vice-president of the Buffalo and Susquehanna
Railroad Co., was born in Groton, Tompkins county, N. Y., March 17, 1849. His education was obtained from public
and private schools and at East Aurora (N. Y.) Academy. In 1871 he removed to Buffalo and engaged in the coal and
wood business and afterward in the lumber business, and is at present one of the largest lumber manufacturers in
the United States, manufacturing over 150,000,000 feet of lumber yearly. In 1884 he built the Sinnemahoning Valley
Railroad, connecting with the W. N. Y. & P. Railroad at Keating Summit, Pa. In 1887 his brother, C. W. Goodyear,
entered into partnership with him and since that time they have extended this railroad and merged it into the Buffalo
and Susquehanna Railroad, which is now 112 miles in length.
