Hollister, Granger A., Rochester, N.Y., was born December 7, 1854, in Rochester, N.Y., and has spent his entire life in that city. His father, Emmett H. Hollister, was born in 1829 in Rochester. His mother, Sarah E. (Granger) Hollister, who departed this life in 1894, was a daughter of Austin Granger, of Troy, N.Y. The first ancestor, John Hollister, in this country came here from England in 1640, settling at South Glastonbury, Conn. His descendants largely remained in New England until early in the nineteenth century, when George A. Hollister (grandfather of Granger A.) moved to New York, and in 1826 became a resident of Rochester. Granger A. Hollister was educated in private schools of Rochester, but in his nineteenth year (following his father's death) he left school to carry on his father's lumber business, and with his brother, George C., and mother formed a copartnership under the style of Hollister Brothers. This firm continued until 1888, when the Hollister Lumber Company, Limited, was incorporated. The corporation was capitalized at $125,000.00, with Granger A. Hollister as president, George C. Hollister, vice-president, H. C. Durand, treasurer and secretary. Mr. Hollister is widely known for the part he has taken in the development of the local lighting and traction companies. He was one of the organizers of the Edison Elec. Illuminating Co., which was incorporated in 1886. In 1892 he and his associates bought all of the stock of the Rochester Electric Light Company, and a controlling interest in the Brush Electric Light Company. Subsequently an interest in the Rochester Gas Company was obtained, and a consolidation of all four companies into the Rochester Gas & Electric Company was effected. The Clark-Hodenpyl-Walbridge Syndicate, which owned the control of the Rochester Railway Company, acquired a substantial interest in the Rochester Gas & Electric Company, and with the active co-operation of Mr. Hollister, the Rochester Railway & Light Company was organized in 1904, and the lighting and traction interests in the city were consolidated. Since 1904 Mr. Hollister has been active in the management of the various companies, as vice-president and director of the Rochester Railway & Light Company, Ontario Light & Traction Company, Canandaigua Gas Light Company, Eastern Monroe Electric Light & Gas Company, Rochester Electric Railway Company, and as a director of the New York State Railways, a consolidation of all New York Central Railroad Trolleys between Rochester and Albany. While his connection with the lighting and traction interests of the city is important, he is more widely known through his association with the banking and financial interests of Rochester. In January, 1886, he was elected a trustee of the Rochester Savings Bank, and is at present first vice-president of the institution. He was one of the incorporators in 1892 of the Security Trust Company, of which he was vice-president and the first manager, and is now vice-president, a trustee and chairman of the Executive Committee. He was one of the first Board of Trustees of the Chamber of Commerce, and is now a member of the Board. He is a member of the Genesee Valley Club and the Country Club of Rochester, and Union League Club of New York, and numerous charitable institutions of the city have him upon their management. Mr. Hollister was elected a director of the New York Life Insurance Company in June, 1907, and is a member of the Executive Committee. He was married in 1886 to Isabelle M. Watson, of Rochester, a daughter of the late Don Alonzo Watson, one of the organizers of the Western Union Telegraph Company. Mrs. Hollister died in 1903, and in 1906 Mr. Hollister married Miss Elizabeth C. Watson.
