    • FRANK R. JOHNSON
      Frank R. Johnson, engineer of the steamyacht Titania. From his
      boyhood to the present
      time the subject of this brief notice has been actively identified
      with marine interests
      at the eastern extremity of the Great Lakes. He was born at the foot
      of Breckenridge
      street, Buffalo, October 14, 1856, and received what schooling he
      obtained in the public
      schools of his native city.
      In 1875 Mr. Johnson engaged as deckhand for the Buffalo & Grand
      Island Ferry Co., on
      the Niagara river, and two years later became engineer of the tug
      Eagle, acting in that
      capacity until 1879. He then accepted the position of engineer on the
      tug Bruce, and
      in 1881 shipped as engineer on the tug Maud S., of Buffalo harbor. In
      1882 he was
      appointed engineer of the private yacht Lorelei, running from Buffalo
      to the Oakfield
      Club House, on Grand Island, and continued thus for two years, in 1884
      accepting the
      position of engineer on Myron P. Bush's steamer Idle Hour, running
      from Buffalo to the
      St. Lawrence river. The following year he became engineer of S. S.
      Jewett's private
      steamyacht Titania, which position he has filled with ability for some
      twelve or more
      years.
      Mr. Johnson was married, in 1877, to Miss C. E. Staley, of Grand
      Island, N. Y., and
      they have one daughter. He resides at No. 102 Albany street, Buffalo,
      New York.
