Swan attended the public schools of his native town until ten years of age, when he began his business career selling newspapers. At the age of fifteen he entered the employ of L. & S. Colt, hardware merchants, at Niagara Falls, and served that firm for three years; later he was employed by Phillips & Co. in the same business and still later was with Nice & Hinkey, at Tonawanda, N. Y., for one year. In 1880 he was appointed superintendent of the City Water Works at Niagara Falls and retained that position until 1884, when he entered the employ of George Haeberle, lumber dealer, and remained until 1886. In that year he established himself in the plumbing and tinning business, which he has successfully carried on ever since. August 21, 1881, Mr. Swan married Minnie, a daughter of his former employer, George Haeberle, and they have four children: Frank W., Lottie C., Hilda and Edna.

his work was characterized by an
energy and vigor that made for success
and progress.

bring Interesting roverlea to the
minds of many of our citizens who
were active with him in thoso days
that are gone, and likewise it will
bring expressions of sorrow and regret
