JOHN W. LUPOLD, train dispatcher at Sunbury for the PA
ailroad, has held that position since 1893 - the longest period on
ecord in Sunbury that any one man has served in that capacity. He wa
s
born Feb. 3, 1867, at White Deer, Union Co, Pa., son of Samuel Lupold
and grandson of John Lupold.

John W. Lupold obtained his education in the public schools of
White Deer Twp, Union county. In 1882 he learned cigar-making,
which he followed for several years, and when eighteen years old he
learned telegraphy at White Deer. He has since been engaged in railroa
d
work. He was employed at different points on the Philadelphia & Readin
g
oad until 1889, when he changed to the Sunbury division of the
PA road, in the fall of 1890 being transferred to Sunbury and
given a position in the superintendent's office. He was engaged as
message operator and copier in the train dispatcher's office until
promoted to train dispatcher in 1893. He has since filled this
esponsible position, in which he has the longest record of any
incumbent at Sunbury. Mr. Lupold has been thoroughly identified with
local interests since he became a resident of the borough, and in 1908
he was elected a member of the board of education, from the Seventh
ward; he was a member of the building committee which had in charge th
e
erection of the Francis E. Drumheller school, erected in 1910, one of
the finest school buildings in this section and a great source of prid
e
in the borough. In political matters Mr. Lupold is a Republican, with
independent inclinations.
In 1890 Mr. Lupold married Grace M. Ely, daughter of James Ely, and
they have three children: Merrill, who was a member of the class of 19
11
of the Sunbury high school; Martha Esther; and Ruth Elizabeth. In 1899
Mr. Lupold built the comfortable home at No. 307 Catawissa avenue whic
h
he has since occupied with his family. They are members of the First
Reformed Church of Sunbury, which he served as an official for some
years. Fraternally he unites with the Royal Arcanum.
