HUGO FRANK WALDONS is one of the successful builders in North
Hudson County, and in West Hoboken, where he resides, is respected as a
public spirited, enterprising citizen. Born in Baden, Germany, August 24,
1865, he is the son of Ferdinand Waldons, deceased, and Susanna, his wife,
who survives and resides with the subject of this article. He came to the
United States in 1883 and located in New York City, where he completed
his education in the high school. He soon returned to the Fatherland. In
1886 he again came to this country and settled permanently in Hudson
County, N. J., where he has achieved success as a contractor and builder,
having built up an extensive business. He is a thoroughly practical operator
in every branch of the trade and proficient in architectural drawing, in
which he has developed marked artistic skill. He makes his own blueprints
and attends personally to the minutest detail. A large number of
the finer buildings in his section are the result of his energies and handiwork,
and not a few of them bear evidences of his talents as a designer.
Able and progressive, possessed of sound judgment and originality, and
energetic in all he attempts, Mr. Waldons is one of the prominent builders
of Hudson County. He takes a deep and often an active interest in the welfare of the community, and in various capacities has contributed much to its growth and advancement. He is a Democrat in politics, a sagacious business man, and enjoys a wide popularity. At one time he served as a fire inspector. He has never sought office, however, preferring to devote his whole attention to his growing business. He holds membership in several social and other organizations, and has also an honorable military record, having served for three years as a soldier in the German Army. Mr. Waldons was married on the 21st of September, 1895, to Anna Schwiki, a native of Germany. They have two children: Elsie and Arthur.
