Notes - ZACHARIAH FRANKLIN LIGHTNER was born 26 April 1861, was the first in his family to graduate from high school, and is mentioned in the 29 May 1879 issue of "The Womelsdorf Herald" as being assistant to the newly appointed Post Master of Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania. It was also noted in the article that "Zach F Lightner" had previously been a clerk in Augustus Bausch's store - perhaps his first job.
On 10 October 1882, Frank of "Hartsville in the state of Pennsylvania" married HANNAH GERTRUDE MUIR, the daughter of Alexander Francis Muir and Mary Cope of Philadelphia.
His work with the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) Railroad meant many moves: Cuba (1885), Missouri; Carpenter (1891), Delaware; Darby (1893) and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Then as Railway Mail Supervisor, to Elizabethtown, Lancaster and Harrisburg. Frank retired to Belmar, New Jersey and then to Manoa, Pennsylvania where he died 7 November 1933.
