Knibloe, E. F., Buffalo, was born in the town of Sharon, Litchfield county, Conn., and moved soon after with
his parents to Livingston county, N. Y. He was educated in the public schools and Nunda Academy. After leaving
the academy he taught school, and at the close of this period entered the service of the Erie Railroad as clerk,
to procure the means of paying the expenses of a college course. He entered Cornell University in the fall of 1869,
as State student from the Assembly district consisting of Livingston county. After a year spent in the University
he got leave of absence and accepted a position as tutor in the Nunda Academy (which afforded an opportunity for
special study of the classics) to earn more money and with a view to taking an advanced standing in the university
at the close of the year. While engaged in the academy he received a severe injury from the discharge of a gun,
resulting in a long period of disability and in the final abandonment of the college course. He re-entered the
service of the Erie Railway Company in 1872, where he remained until January 1, 1892, having passed during that
time through the grades of telegraph operator, train dispatcher, chief dispatcher. train master and superintendent.
On January 1, 1892, he was appointed by the Erie and Lehigh Valley Railroad Companies, lessees of the Buffalo Creek
Railroad, as general agent for the lessees, in charge of the maintenance and operation of that property. While
employed as train dispatcher on the Buffalo division of the Erie Railroad he read law in the office of E. L. Parker
and was admitted to the bar in 1883, but has never undertaken the practice of this profession.
