Diamond, Frank J., A. M., Ph. D., was born in Hamburg, Erie county, N. Y., December 6, 1854. His father, John
Diamond, was a native of Washington county, N. Y., and traces his descent from John Diamond, who came from England
during the Revolutionary war. John Diamond (father of Frank J.) came to Erie county about 1845. Frank J. was educated
at Geneseo State Normal School, graduating in 1879. His academic degrees were earned with Illinois Wesleyan University.
His life work has been that of a teacher, beginning at Akron, Erie county, where he taught one year, one year at
Rushford, Allegany county, five years at Stapleton and nine years at Dansville. In 1892 he came to Tonawanda, being
appointed superintendent of the system of public schools. In 1880 he married Mary E., daughter of Henry Brua, by
whom he has two sons, James and Herbert. Mr. Diamond's work in Tonawanda has been eminently successful and satisfactory
to the patrons of the schools. Under his management the schools have been advanced in many ways. He stands high
among the educators of the State.
