| 3833 | Born Oct. 08, 1816 in Niagara, NY, he worked on his fathers several hundred acre farm, attended the district school, and took a course of study at the Lewiston Academy. He next engaged to teach district school in what is now (1923) as the Synder District in Amherst, Erie County, NY. While teaching there he met, wooed and won his bride Anna FRICK daughter of Christian FRICK and Elizabeth LONG, who resided in a farm near by opposite the school house. Tobias WITMER was a Surveyor and Civil Engineer. he was the author and publisher of maps of the town of Niagra, city of Tonawanda, Village of Williamsville and Deed Atlas of the County of Erie. etc.. He served for three years as a Sergent in the 50th Regiment of the New York Volunteers (Engineers), and on one occasion was in charge of several companies of the regiment putting in abatis in advance of one of our forts opposite of Petersburg, VA. The emeny observing and not approving of this began cannoning during the war he and his son Christian F. WITMER ( the author of the article) were deatiled to make surveys amont the forts at Washington D.C. and in the vincity of Falmouth VA. Returning at the close of the War he resumed his former occupation of Land Surveying and took over the Agency of the Agricultural Insurance company, which has been in the family to the present time (1923), He was active in the Church of Christ, also one of the founders of the Williamsville Classical Institute, and at one time its principal teacher, who finally donated their stock for Public School purposes. It was his ambition to equip each of his children with a good education rather than material wealth, on the theory that riches have wings, but that knowledge is life-long capital. Of his sons and daughters ten have served as teachers. He died in the family home Aug. 14, 1897. ALSO Buffalo NY Morning Express - about 1897 Pioneer, Patriot, Genius. THE LATB TOBIAS WITMER WAS ALL OF THESE, AND A MAN OF CHRISTIAN LIFE AND GOOD INFLUENCE- AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR. Tobias Witmer, who died at his home near Willamsville, August 14th, was a man whose career was so prominently linked with the history of Western New-York and Buffalo, that it merits a somewhat detailed record. He was a genius. There was nothing In wood or metal that he could not make. He was an inventor, as the records of the Patent Office will show. He was the originator of the bicycle wheel, and the family still have in their possession a model of this wheel, made years before the bicycle came into popular favor In this model the spikes were made from the wires of an old hoop skirt. Unfortunately he never applied for a patent. Among his inventions were a corn-sheller, a railroad switch (automatic), a pile driver, a pall table signal tower for use in the army, and a fire-escape, of which thr presant Hayes ladder is claimed to be an infringement. Another of his inventions was a simple contrivance to teach the transposition of the scale for the use of music teachers. He was a writer of considerable ability in prose and poetry and was equally at home in English. German, or the dialect of the "Pennsylvania Dutch." A new system of phonetic spenning which received the commendation and endorsement of much high authority as the late Prof a.0. Haldeman of the University of Pennsylvania. was his work. He was a patriot, having enlisted on his 45th birthday. at which time he had twelve ctilldren. A daughter was born on the day he was is the Battle.of Fredericksburg and an other after his return from the War. The latter died after reaching her majority and that was the only death in a family of fourteen children. Mr Witmer celebrated his golden wedding November 13, 1887, and had he lived until November 13th this year. he would have celebrated the 60th anniversary of his marriage. His twin brother, Elias Witmer, still lives on the old homestead east of Suspension Bridge on which their father settled before the War of 1812 A remarkable circumstance happened in connection with Mr. Witmer s departure to and return from the War. Accompanied by by eldest son, Christian F., they took the old Williamsville and Buffalo Octibus (sp?) and found nine other recruits from Clarence and sur- rounding towns going to the seat of war. Although widely dispersed during the three years of service on their return home after the close of the War the original eleven men found themselves traveling on the same omtiibus, homeward bound. Mr. Witmer was one of the founders of the Williamsville Academy, an institution which at one time had an attendance of 600 students. He was also the principal of the institution for a short time. But his chief work was in the church For many years he was an elder" in the Christian Church (Disciples) at Williamsville. He established numerous Sunday schools in Niagara County and the towns of Amherst and Cheektow aga. His humble efforts in this direction were the direct cause of the establishment of the Christian church at Suspension Bridge. Through the efforts of Mr. Hensler of Tonawanda and himself. St. James Hall in this city wans rented and religious meetings were held which finally required in the establishment of the Christian Church in Buffalo. At first services were held in the old French Church at the corner of Tupper and Ellicott streets Subsequently the Church of Christ (Disciples) on Tichmond Avenue was built and later a branch on Jefferson Street. An artisan, inventor, civil engineer, author, poet, patriot and preacher, his unassuming superiority endeared him to all. | WITMER, Tobias (I10202)

With Mr. & Mrs Arthur Beach and daughter of the Ridge Road, he went to Ransomville early this morning. Beach is a cooper and he got out of the wagon at his shop while his wife and the Behnke boy proceeded to the village.

Wright and Dr. Clayton Clark were called and dressed the boy's injuries temporarily, he being placed aboard the train due at the south end of the city at 5:35 o'clock. The police anbulance was in waiting and the injured boy was conveyed to Memorial Hospital were he was attended by Dr. W. H. Hodge, John Grey, and B. F. Dennis .

At 2 o'clock this afternoon there was no change in his condition. If an operation is performed, it will be necessary to remove both legs. His case is considered hopeless. Behnke is 12 years old, being the son of Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Behnke of the Ridge Road.
