William B. Shuster
William B. Shuster, superintendent of No. 14 plant of the American Sewer Pipe Company at Toronto, Jefferson County, Ohio, has been engaged in this line of business throughout his business career. He has additional interests with his cousins, W. B. and S. B. Goucher, owning the Toronto Ferry Company.
The subject of this record was born in Newburg, now Toronto, O., June 24, 1857, and is a son of Samuel and Amanda (Porter) Shuster. He was reared at Toronto and has been identified with the sewer pipe industry ever since old enough to labor, working in different capacities around the plant until 1890, when he was placed in charge of the plant of the Royal Fire Clay Company at Midville, near Urichsville. He remained there two and one half years and then returned to Toronto in 1893 as superintendent of the plant with which he has since been identified, it then being known as the Forest City Sewer Pipe Factory. He is a man of ability and enjoys high standing in the community. For four years he was a member of the board of public service in Toronto, relinquishing that office on January 1, 1910.
Mr. Shuster was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth J. McFarland, a daughter of Benjamin McFarlaud, she being a native of Steubenville. Fraternally he is a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Eagles.
