General Notes: Husband - Maurice D. Lemaster


He was educated in the public schools of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and at the age of seventeen became an apprentice to the trade of a machinist with the Taylor Manufacturing Company. He served an apprenticeship of four years. After completing his trade he went to Roanoke, Virginia, and worked in the machine shops of the Norfolk & Western Railroad Co. for one year. He then returned to Chambersburg and was engaged with the Taylor Manufacturing Company until its failure, after which he went to Wilmington, Delaware, where he remained a few months. Again returning to Chambersburg he was a foreman in the shops of the Taylor Engine Co., until the final failure of that enterprise. He then formed a partnership with F. M. Duncan, and they conducted the Taylor Works for two and half years. When the bond holders sold the plant of the Taylor Works to the Chambersburg Engineering Company, Mr. Lemasters remained with the new company for a few months as one of their foremen, and then became connected with the Wolf Company as foreman of their machine shops. In February, 1902, he was appointed superintendent of the Wolf Co., and was general superintendent of the works. He had under his supervision over three hundred men. He was a director of the Mechanics' Building and Loan Association of Chambersburg, and was a member of the B. P. O. E.
