Edward B. VREELAND, a son of Simon and Jerusha (BUTTERFIELD) VREELAND and a brother of Judge Oliver S. VREELAND, is a native of Cuba, N. Y., and was born Dec. 7, 1857. He received his education in the public schools and in Friendship Academy, and moved to Salamanca in 1871. He was a teacher several years, five of which he was principal of Salamanca Union Free School, and by his influence an academic department was instituted under his administration. He studied law while teaching, and was admitted to the bar in 1880, but has never practiced. He commenced the insurance business in 1880 which he has since continued. He was active in the re-organization of the Salamanca National Bank, was one of its directors in 1881, and was elected its president in Sept., 1891, which position he still holds. He was appointed postmaster of Salamanca by President Harrison in April, 1889, and held the position until July 1, 1893. He is an active Republican, a speaker of ability, and takes the stump in presidential campaigns. In 1880, he married Almira, daughter of J. O. PRICE, of Friendship. They have three children.
