Gallery of Mayors--No.05: S. W. Starkweather, 1876–1878. Caption reads: "S. W. Starkweather, a lumberman, became Williamsport's fifth chief magistrate. He was elected in 1872 and re-elected in 1873. It was during his administration that there occurred the 'Lumber Riots', a strike of mill workmen led by labor organizers, which resulted in serious disorders and the subjection of the community to a period of martial law. Mayor Starkweather was again elected to the office in 1876, for a two-year term."
