THOMAS J. MALONEY, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania.
Thomas J. Maloney was born in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, November 5, 1862, and being the son of Patrick J. Maloney, who for the past thirty-seven years has been a roundhouse employe of the Erie, the young man was brought up in an atmosphere that was almost certain of making him a railroad man, and on leaving school at the age of 14 he took service with the Erie as an engine wiper in the Susquehanna roundhouse, a position he held for seven years. In 1883 he was advanced to fireman and ran between Susquehanna and Hornellsville on freight until 1891, when he was promoted to engineer and assigned to a freight run on the Delaware Division. While a fireman he was prominent in the affairs of the B. of L. F., and is now a steadfast member of Lodge 137, B. of L. E. Mr. Maloney is known all along the line as a careful and conservative runner, and has won the respect of his superiors and the admiration of his associates.

On October 17, 1894, he was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Foley, daughter of John Foley, of Oneonta, New York. They are an estimable young couple, who move in the best social circles and are highly respected hy those who are so fortunate as to know them.
