Relieved After l6 Years
Probably none in the employ of I
the Pennsylvania Railroad enjoys a
more unique honor than does MINI /
rod Minner who retired from active .
duty at the close of his duties at !
March 31st. Mr.. Min
ner has been a faithful employee of /
the railroad company. serving As
years and six months in the same
position; that of baggage agent. Sell
1om was he absent from duty un-
Ill the last few years, when they
we're given regular relief days. He
started his railroad career under
he late Richard Dale, local agent /,
n 1888. Frank T. White succeeded
Mr.. Dale and later Louis c. Jones,
he present agent. The railroad rec
,rds claim Mr.. Minner is 20 years
I'D, but he declares his age to be
iS years. However. he is very ac-
i've and expects to farm a small
ract of land adjoining his home on
forth Delaware Avenue. Mr.. Min
Ter has one daughter, Mrs. George
Ielson. whose husband is yard mas
er in Delmar. "Old Barney" as he
