LOREN E. TICE
Another of the Erie's old-time engineers has passed to his long reward, and Hornell has been called to sorrow. This time the hand of death was laid upon Loren E. Tice, an old and faithful engineer, whose last work was performed on an engine in the Hornell Yard.

Mr. Tice was born at Baldwin, near Elmira, N.Y., 61 years ago. He entered the service of the Erie Company as a wiper in the Buffalo Shop at the age of 19. Later he secured a position as fireman, and for eight years acted in that capacity on the Allegheny and Buffalo divisions for his brother-in-law, Elias W. Breese, now of Lockport.

He was promoted to the position of engineer August, 1881. Since his promotion much of his time has been spent in Hornell, where he has been a respected citizen for 32 years. Here, June 16, 1881, he married a daughter of a former Erie ticket agent of Hornell, Miss Anna Meacham (?), who survives him. Of the four children born of this union, one only survives, Harry E. Tice, storekeeper at Bradford Shop. Mr. Tice died February 3, 1913, following a brief illness, and was buried under the auspices of De Molay Commandery No. 22, K.T., from Park Church, where he worshipped and was a communicant many years.

Mr. Tice was of a quiet disposition, but friendly and genial in his intercourse with his fellow workmen. He was of a truly unselfish nature and of generous impulses. His high character commanded the ardent admiration of his associates and by them will his memory long be cherished.

He was a capable engineer, and in Hornell Yard, where he was employed, he made an enviable record for himself as a careful, painstaking employe, and an intelligent engineer. (Page 37)
