Usually known as Livingston. Husband of Kate E. nee Gangloff and L. Vienna nee Otto. Son of William W. & Hannah M. (Bock) Seltzer.
History of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania In Two Volumes, including a genealogical and biographical record of many families and persons in the county; edited by Adolf W. Schalck and D. C. Henning, State Historical Association, 1907, Volume II, Pages 430 and 431:
"Seltzer. Prof. Livingston. the popular and efficient county superintendent of schools in Schuylkill county, is descended from Revolutionary stock and traces his ancestry in the county to the earliest settlers of McKeansburg."
"Prof. Livingston Seltzer was born in New Ringgold, Schuylkill county, March 20, 1862, a son of William W. and Hannah M. Seltzer.
Professor Seltzer received his elementary education in the public schools of McKeansburg and then entered upon a course of normal training at the state normal school at Kutztown, where he graduated as president of the class of 1887. He was employed as a teacher in Rush township for one year after his graduation, when he accepted a more lucrative position at Tower City, and continued there for two years, when he was elected to the principalship of the Palo Alto schools. This position he held for fifteen years or until elected to the county superintendency in May, 1905. Mr. Seltzer's practical experience in all grades of the teaching profession amply qualifies him for the arduous duties of this important office and his peculiar adaptability to the work is recognized by all. He prefers to stand aloof from party differences in political matters and this characteristic in his nature enables him to judge impartially of the merits of all who come before him in an official capacity, with the result that the examination paper under such an official must stand upon its own merits, a condition which does not exist in all cases. Mr. Seltzer has been twice married, his first wife having been Miss Kate E., daughter of the late George and Hannah Gangloff. This union was blessed with a son and daughter, Raymond Livingston and Hilda Edith, popular young people just budding into years of maturity, and both about to graduate from the Kutztown state normal school. Mrs. Seltzer died in 1895 and three years later the professor was married to Mrs. Vienna Kershner, his present companion. Professor Seltzer is a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, being a past master of Pulaski Lodge, No. 216; a member of Mountain City Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, and Constantine Commandery, Knights Templars. He also belongs to the Patriotic Order of the Sons of America and Sons of Veterans."
