O. E. GLEASON, Postmaster, Corry, Penn., was born February 4, 1838, in West Haven, Vt.; until fourteen years of age, he was brought up on his father’s farm, and attended the district school. About 1854, he moved to Jefferson, Ashtabula Co., Ohio, and farmed for a number of years; thence to Girard, Erie Co., Penn., where he continued the same occupation, and was united in marriage, November, 1859, with M.A., daughter of S.F. Stone, of Girard. Our subject came to Corry, October, 1863, and has since occupied different positions on the Oil Creek Railroad. He served fourteen years as conductor, engaging at the same time in other enterprises, outside of railroading. He was connected with the Corry Furniture Factory from the time it was first founded up to the time it was burned some three years ago, and was one of the stockholders in the handle factory, being instrumental in its starting. Mr. Gleason helped to build the Crosby Block, which was burned in 1874. He has been a member of the City Council, and is at present Postmaster, which position he has held for the past seven years.
