DWIGHT CRAFT, Carbondale, Pennsylvania.
Dwight Craft, son of John Craft, a farmer of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, was born in that county on July 25, 1862. He left school at the age of 18 and farmed for the ensuing seven years, entering the service of the Erie in July, 1887, as a fireman. He was considered a remarkably good fireman, and the reward of his merit was promotion to engineer in July, 1890, since which time he has been running freight on the Jefferson Division. Mr. Craft, who is a member of Lodge 468, B. of L. E., was married on February 3, 1886, to Miss Alice Dickinson, and they have two children. Mrs. Craft is a member of the Ladies Auxiliary to the B. of L. E., and a very charming lady who takes great pride in her family.
