Horatio S. Getman, 61, prominent lumber dealer in the Mohawk Valley, died in this city Sunday.
Mr. Getman was a son of Sanford and and Lucy Jane Burriil Getman and was born in 1865. As a young man he worked for the West Shore Railroad Company. but later entered the undertaking business, which he followed for 21 years. In 1933 he founded the Getman Lumber Company of Frankfort, in which he was engaged with a on.
While a resident of Frankfort, Mr. Getman served the village as trustee, assessor and treasurer and during the World War he served a term as president of the village. It was during his term that steps were taken through which the present Town Hall was erected as a World War memorial. Mr. Getman was the first sponsor of the Doughboy monument in Memorial Park, Frankfort.
For six years Mr. Getman served as coroner in Herkimer County, the only non-physician to hold the office.
He was organizer of tho Frankfort Savings and Loan Association and served as its secretary for 11 years. for 30 (?) years he was a trustee of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Frankfort. After moving to Utica in 1926 he transferred his membership to Westminster Prebyterian Church. He was a 32nd degree Mason and a past master and life member of Olive Branch Lodge 40, F. & A. M. and of Ziyara Temple. He was also a member of the Knights of Pythias.
In 1889 Mr. Getman married Sallie Gregory Thomas who survives with two children. Clare Thomas Getman, Ilionm and Mrs. William Robinson, Beverly Place, Utica and a grandson, William Getman Robinson.- Horatio Seymour Getman completed his local schooling in the high school at Ilion and continued making his home on the home farm, a valued aid to his fathering the operations of the same, until he had attained his majority, when in 1886, he became employed in the shops of the West Shore Railroad that then were being operated at Frankfort, and there learned the trade of machinist and toolmaker. After a service of five years in that relation he was made time keeper for the shops and for seven years held that position, or until the shops finally were dismantled and moved away. Thus deprived of his local position Mr. Getman went to Boston and for a year was employed in the electrical department of the West End Street Railway Company. He then returned to Frankfort and for three years was employed there as assistant superintendent in the local office of the Metropolitan Insurance Company. Finally determining that this line was not what he had been looking for, Mr. Getman became engaged in the undertaking business and presently consolidated the business he had established there with that operated by S. W. Holdridge and the two carried on as funeral directors together, doing business under the firm name of Holdrige & Getman. Holdrige presently retired from the firm, his interest being taken over by W. R. Owen and the business was continued as the firm of Getman & Owen for several years at the end of which time Mr. Getman sold his interest to his partner and retired in order to give his attention to the lumber business in which he has since been successfully engaged, with well equipped and well stocked yards at No. 164 Litchfield street. He also maintains something of his former interest in the insurance business and is secretary of the Excelsior Fire Insurance Company of Syracuse.
Mr. Getman is an active republican and has rendered public service in various capacities. During the time he was in the undertaking business he served two terms as coroner of Herkimer county. For three terms he served as treasurer of the village and for two terms was its president. This latter service was rendered during the time of this country's participation in the World war and in his executive capacity Mr. Getman did much toward the stimulation of local interest in Liberty Loan, Red Cross and other drives of that time of stress. At the time of the installation of the modern sewer system in the village of Frankfort he was chairman of the sewer commission. For two terms he was a member of the board of village trustees. Mr. Getman was one of the organizers of the Frankfort Building and Loan Association and was secretary of the same for eleven years, or until his resignation in 1922. He also was a member of the board of directors of the Citizens National Bank for a number of years, or until his resignation from that body. For thirty-five years he has been a member of the board of trustees of the Methodist Episcopal church in Frankfort and has ever taken an active interest in church work and in the general social activities of his home town; is quite prominent in local lodge work, a Mason of High degree and affiliated with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, the Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias and is also a member of the Yahnundasis Golf Club of Utica. Mr. Getman is a past master of the local lodge of the Masonic fraternity at Frankfort and has taken all the "work" in Freemasonry available to the inquirer, this including the thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite, affiliated with the consistory at Syracuse. He is a member of the local chapter of the Royal Arch Masons at Ilion and of the Knight Templar commandery at Utica and is also a noble of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, of Ziyara Temple at Utica.
