Franklin, Walter J., the energetic and popular station agent at Evans Mills, was born in May, 1870, at Boonville,
N. Y., a son of Levi and Elizabeth Franklin of that place. Walter J. passed his boyhood days at home and in the
village school, through which he fitted himself for a course in academic studies. He taught school at Camden for
three terms and then began a course of study in telegraphy with W. H. Kendall, an experienced teacher and operator
at West Camden. After completing his course in telegraphy Mr. Franklin received the appointment of station agent
at Sanford's Corners, where he remained two years, or until his appointment as station agent at Evans Mills, in
July, 1895. He is a brother of Harry R. Franklin, station agent at Red Creek, N. Y. In October, 1895, Mr. Franklin
married Clara L. McClusky, the daughter of a well known contractor and builder of Boonville, N. Y. They have one
daughter, Marjorie. Mr. Franklin is deservedly popular among the patrons of the road for his urbanity and business
methods in the discharge of his duties. He is a member of Camden Council No. 65, O. U. A. M.
