admin S. N. McWILLIAMS, son of John J. McWilliams, was born in Buffalo March 17th, 1871. He was educated at the Buffalo High School and at Princeton University, graduating from the latter in the class of ’94.
After leaving college Mr. McWilliams became connected with the coal department of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad.
