FRANK
B. HALLER, one of New Middletown's
enterprising and successful business men, in the line of contracting
and building, was born in Springfield township, Mahoning County,
Sept. 7, 1865, and is a son of Benjamin W. and Margaret (Snyder)
Haller.
The father of Mr. Haller was born in
Springfield township in 1837, and was a son of Conrad and Mary (Wizeman)
Haller, probably born in Germany, who came to Springfield
township at an early date. Conrad Haller acquired 10
acres of land on the North Lima road, on which he spent the
remainder of his life. Benjamin W. Haller was reared on
the homestead and when he grew to manhood he learned the business of
pump-making, but subsequently bought a farm of 112½
acres of land in section 17, Springfield township, on which his
widow still resides, his death having taken place in 1899. He
was always a strong supporter of Democratic policies and was equally
devoted to the faith of the German Lutheran Church. He married
Margaret Snyder, who was born in Beaver township,
Mahoning County, Ohio, and is a daughter of Philip Snyder,
who was an early settler in Springfield township, coming from
eastern Pennsylvania. There were nine children born to these
worthy people, namely: Henry, residing at Leetonia;
Mary, who married Jonas Seidner, residing in
Springfield township; Francis, residing in Springfield
township, is a business partner of Frank B.; Conrad,
residing at New Middletown; Jonathan, residing in Springfield
township; Frank B.; James, formerly of Springfield
township, died in 1898; Hattie, who married Samuel Pitts,
residing on the old homestead; and Ezra, residing at New
Middletown.
Frank B. Haller was educated in the schools of
Springfield township and remained at home until his marriage in
1896. He learned the carpenter's trade after trying farming
and huckstering for a time, and after moving into New Middletown,
began contracting, in partnership with his brother Francis.
When they began business they gave employment to about five men,
while they now control a volume of business that requires at least
11 men. The Hallers have erected the best and most
substantial buildings that have gone up in the last decade, in this
section, and the firm is one of the most prosperous.
Mr. Haller was married Nov. 26, 1896, to
Hattie Elnora Livingston, who was born in
Springfield township, and is a daughter of Charles and Elizabeth
(Mauch) Livingston. Her father was born in this
neighborhood and was left an orphan at the age of eight years.
He died Mar 3, 1902, aged 42 years. John Mauch,
the maternal grandfather of Mrs. Haller, was an old
settler of Springfield township. Mrs. Livingston
still survives and resides at Youngstown. Mrs.
Haller was the second born in a family of four children, the
others being: Clara, who died, aged four weeks; Lawrence,
deceased ; and William, residing at Youngstown. Mr.
and Mrs. Haller have one daughter, Edith Mabel,
who was born Mar. 22, 1898. Although but nine years of age,
this little maiden has shown remarkable musical talent and is an
excellent performer on the piano.
In politics Mr. Haller is a Democrat.
He is a very busy man and has never consented to serve in any office
except that of school director. Prior to the disbanding of the
Junior Order of the U. A. M., he was a member of that body. He
belongs to the German Lutheran Church.
