  ROY L. AULTMAN, deceased, was prominently identified with the photographic 
business in Westmoreland County before coming to Altoona.  He was born at 
Scottdale, that county, in 1886, a son of D. S. Aultman, engineer for the H. C. 
Frick Coal Company, and Alice Aultman.  Roy Aultman attended the public schools 
of Scottdale and after graduating from the high school opened a photographic 
studio there.  His business was characterized by progressive methods and his 
productions were always works of art.  An unfortunate fire destroyed the studio 
building and Mr. Aultman decided to leave Scottdale and take a position that was 
offered him in the Gable Store, Altoona.  Here he established the photographic 
department, made it a vital part of the business, and remained for six years.  
Not content to continue in the employ of others he left his position to enter 
the wholesale tobacco business.  In a short time he became a leader among the 
younger business men of the city.  Unfortunately his career was shortened by his 
death on June 3, 1929, at the age of 42 years, which was a source of much grief 
to his family and many friends.

  Mr. Aultman was a member of the United Brethren Church, and was a Mason, 
Scottish Rite, 32nd Degree, at Altoona.  In 1907, he married Miss Ells Ruth, 
daughter of John W. Ruth, prominent lumber merchant of Scottdale, Pa., and 
Martha Ruth, at Scottdale.  Mr. and Mrs. Aultman had three children: Kenneth R., 
employed by the Penn Central Light and Power Company; Dan W., of Armour & Co.; 
and Martha.  Mrs. Aultman resides at 413 21st Avenue, Altoona.
