EDWARD T. BOYLE
Sympathy is extended to the family of Yard Brakeman Edward T. Boyle, whose death occurred August 3 (1926), from heart trouble.

HENRY F. BRISTOL
Henry F. Bristol, believed to be the Erie's oldest former employe in the train and dispatcher's service, died at his home, 34 Highland ave., Jersey City, on November 4 last, of heart trouble after an illness of two days. He had suffered from this ailment for some time past, but remained active until suddenly stricken. He was 87 yearS of age. He was in possession of his faculties up to the last, and was as active at his advanced age as most men of 50, and full of ambition.

He was born in Port Jervis, N. Y., January 22, 1838. As there was no railroad operating through his native town he drifted to the West and became a farmer. Not finding it to his liking he returned in 1858, and secured a position as freight brakeman on the Erie Railroad. He knew what it was to fire a wood-burning locomotive, and he knew how to run one. He was an all-around valuable man on any kind of train. He ran between Port Jervis and Jersey City, and it took about fourteen hours to cover the division.

To him belonged the prestige of having run the first coal train from Port Jervis to Newburgh, at which time he had become a conductor. It was interesting to hear him tell about the wood-burning engines, hand brakes and link couplings. They used to oil the axles by hand because there were no journal boxes.

Later in life Mr. Bristol became a train dispatcher at Jersey City, and still later chief dispatcher. In addition, somewhat earlier, he was a yardmaster. In 1887 he severed his connection with the Erie and became yardmaster of the Lackawanna at Hoboken, which position he retained eleven years. Later he quit railroading and was in charge of a telegraph gang stringing wires along the lines of railroad. This was his last connection with railroading.

It is certain that no active or retired employe of the Erie Railroad knows more of its history than he acquired through his experience in running trains and his connection with the rank and file of men on the old Eastern (now New York) division. He had a fund of valuable information, and was fond of telling stories of his old associates on the road, many of whom he saw rise from humble positions in the Operating department to become high officials of many of the larger railroads of this country, and he always kept as closely in touch with them as conditions would permit.

He was a consistent Christian and a member of the Bergen Reformed church of Jersey City Heights. Burial was in the family plot in Laurel Grove cemetery, Port Jervis.

Shaller, the general superintendent.

Later Mr. Brunn returned to Buffalo as superintendent of the Erie's Buffalo division and branches, including the Buffalo & South Western Railroad. He continued as such until 1912, when he became general manager of the Buffalo Creek Railroad property in Buffalo, and later became president of the corporate interests of that property, a position he held until his death. Mr. Brunn was a very high type of railroad executive. He was a man of unblemished integrity. An Erie man who knew him well says: "Charles A. Brunn was one of the ablest and strongest railroad superintendents ever connected with the Erie or any other railroad. He was intensely loyal. He was always fair and just in his dealings with his fellow men. His word was Inviolable and he inspired respect and confidence."

From the April, 1926 Issue of Erie Railroad Magazine:
Shortly after the Bradford division of the Erie Railroad was completed, a young man of the name of R.G. Landon was engaged in the kindling wood business at Mt. Alton, Pa. The kindling wood business was a good business as such things go, but it was a dry and unsatisfactory occupation for a young man to be in watching while other young men were engaging in the practically new job of railroading. Railroading was an occupation with something of glamor and romance in it, a calling that thrilled the red blood of youth.

So it came to pass that the kindling wood business was placed on the market and sold and that on March 1, 1887, R.G. Landon entered the service of the Erie Railroad as a brakeman on the Bradford division. He was promoted to conductor on July 1 of the same year, and was just rounding out his thirty-ninth year of service in that capacity when his death occurred on February 26 this year.

In his long and honorable term of service as conductor, Mr. Landon was in charge of hundreds of trains and made many friends, to whom he was affectionately known as "Rocky." To make and hold a multitude of fast friends is an accomplishment and a record of thirty-nine years of clean service is an enviable feat -� both designate the man. So the Erie Railroad Company is proud that Conductor Landon was in its employ.
