STREETER, Austin Taylor,
Engineer.
A well known and highly esteemed man in his home town of West Springfield is Austin Taylor Streeter, engineer on the Boston & Albany Railroad, whose name heads this article. He has been for a number of years a resident of West Springfield, where he is interested in the promotion of the community.
Austin Taylor Streeter is the son of Philander Alphonso and Nettie M. (Tracey) Streeter, was born June 28, 1870, in Lagrange, Dutchess county, New York. He was a child when his parents moved to Holyoke, Massachusetts. His education was received in the public schools of that place, and when the time came for him to choose an occupation he became an electrician. For a time Mr. Streeter was in business for himself in Northampton, Massachusetts, but eventually decided to become a locomotive engineer. Accordingly, on June 15, 1899, he became a fireman on the Boston & Albany Railroad, and at the end of three years was promoted to the position of engineer. He began as the engineer of a freight train, but was advanced step by step, until he reached the highest point in that service, that of engineer of a passenger train, which position he has since held. The political principles of Mr. Streeter are those advocated by the Republican party, but he has never had either time or inclination for office-seeking or office-holding. His only fraternal association is with the Brotherhood of Firemen and Locomotive Engineers. He and his wife attend the Methodist Episcopal church.
Mr. Streeter married, March 3, 1894, in Holyoke, Martha Henrietta Voigt, and they are the parents of four sons: 1. Edwin William, born April 9, 1895; now enlisted in the hospital corps of the Second Regiment, Massachusetts National Guard; sailed for France, September 25, 1917. 2. Henry Philip, born March 13, 1899; now in the Third National Bank of Springfield. 3. Albert Austin, born August 24, 1902; now attending the West Springfield High School. 4. Kenneth Voigt, born July 8, 1906. The first and second of these sons were born in Holyoke and the third and fourth in West Springfield. Three of them are still (1917) at home with their parents. Mr. Streeter is a man devoted to the ties of family and friendship. He and his wife, who has ever been, in all senses of the word, a true helpmeet, are the centre of a circle of warmly attached friends.
Christian Adolph Voigt, father of Mrs. Martha Henrietta (Voigt) Streeter, was born October 18, 1837 in Querfurt, Germany, and in 1862 emigrated to the United States. His business was that of a jeweller and watchmaker, and he was a resident of Boston, later of Holyoke, where he carried on business for thirty years, until his death, August 12, 1910, at the age of seventy-three years. Mr. Voigt married, January 1, 1866, in Boston, Johanna Henrietta Regestein, who was born May 18, 1838, in the city of Weisenfels, Germany, and their children were: Augustus Adolph, born October 26, 1866, died September 27, 1867; Emma Wilhelmina, born November 2, 1867, wife of Franklin A. Snyder, of Holyoke, Massachusetts; Martha Henrietta, born May 25, 1869, in Boston, became the wife of Austin Taylor Streeter, as stated above; and Frank William, born May 20, 1875, now living in New York City. The widow of Mr. Voigt resides in West Springfield, in the home of her daughter, Mrs. Streeter.
