The Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee Co., NY Dec 12 1873 A RARITY.--Last Sunday was a pleasant day--the first Sabbath in nine weeks which pushed through its 24 hours in this vicinity without a storm. * MARRIED. HART-ALDERSON.--At the Baptist parsonage in Holley, by Rev. M.P. FORBES, Dec. 3d, Mr. Chauncey HART to Miss Anna ALDERSON. QUANCE-HALL.--Nov. 29th, at the Methodist parsonage, Oakfield, N.Y., by Rev. G.W. TERRY, Mr. Albert QUANCE to Miss Elizabeth HALL, both of Bethany, N.Y. ROBINSON-BEECHER.-Dec. 7th, at North Oakfield, N.Y., Mr. Edward E. ROBINSON, of Clanfield[sic], Pa., to Miss Sarah E. BEECHER, North Oakfield, N.Y. * ALABAMA CENTER. On Monday evening, the first inst., a large party of the relations and friends of Mr. Eli P. VAIL and lady assembled at their residence on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of their wedding day. The tables were loaded with ample supply of the luxuries of the season, and the gathering was one of those enjoyable reunions that will long be remembered by all who had the good fortune to be present. The Orleans Democrat man has been writing up a part of the Genesee county of late. His communications might be very interesting if truth were not more desirable than fiction. Thus far I have not noticed any depression in the fur market although one mink and four coon skins were sold in Medina recently. It must have been the Democrat news man himself that broke into that "house" and in the absence of anything more valuable "gobbled up" the pies and cakes, for no one else has any knowledge of such a transaction. The Nimrods were out in force in this vicinity on the first fox hunt of the season, a few days since, and continued an unsuccessful chase four days. The fox, which made a desperate run for dear life, must have been an old veteran fox, for he went repeatedly through the picket lines of share shooters on his grand rounds while the hounds were hard after him, without sustaining any injury, consequently, he "will live to run another day," and when he makes a raid on a neighboring poultry yard, the excitement that REYNARD lately experienced will doubtless give him an appetite for "a good square meal." With meat at five cents a pound, and cheap bread, there ought not to be any famine among the laborers of our country; but some who spend their surplus means in prosperous times for luxuries, such as lager beer, whisky tobacco, will without doubt board for a while at eth expense of the county, or be provided with a "rural home" by the State. In the meantime let Old Probabilities look out for a hard winter. * ALEXANDER. Hadn't been in Alexander for a long time past, until Monday last, when business called us there for a few minutes. Since we had been there before, the building which occupies the old "burnt corner," and which is itself occupied as a wagon-shop, blacksmith shop, and cooperage has been erected and adds greatly to the appearance of the village. Philip ZWETCH's fine building in which are kept his store and meat market, has also been re-constructed, and the enterprising proprietor is reaping the reward of his energy and his uneasiness integrity in a most prosperous and growing trade. Mr. ROWE's store, too, appeared to be doing a first rate business. While we were there the pupils of the excellent seminary of that village (Miss E.G. THRALL, principal) came thronging into the street over a "hundred strong," and that, took, on the first day of winter term. Alexander has a right to be, and ought to be, proud of this school. We hadn't time to note further at the village. At the depot, J.B. LEWIS & Co., are doing a large business in the cider line. * ATTICA. Dr. ROGERS has completed his elegant new house and moved into it. Workmen in the railroad shops have been put on three-quarter time. Diptheria has been considerably prevalent in this village and vicinity of late. A large two-story frame house which was being built on East avenue was toppled down by the hurricane of Thursday, 4th inst. It belonged to Mr. Wm. SAGE. E. TOLLES has recently completed and now occupies a nice new house near Mr. E. BRAINERD's. Business is quite brisk here for this year. Our merchants and grocers appear to be doing well. * BERGEN. On the evenings of the 25th and 26th ult., the "Oratorio of Queen Esther" was rendered, under the direction of Prof. A. BARNES, of Rochester, to an appreciative audience. The house on both evenings was crowded. With the exception of one or two, to whom it is due to say were afflicted with severe colds, the nineteen solo singers did great credit to themselves, especially the queen, Mrs. S.K. GREEN whose clear, smooth, and sweet voice held the audience in breathless attention. * BYRON. A Byron correspondent of the Holley Standard says: "It is a just remark often made that the intelligence and public spirit of a community may be righteously judged by their institutions of learning. In this respect Byron Center for many years has been in the valley of humiliation, and North Byron, commonly called Pumpkin Hill, about ditto. The school houses in both districts had become so old and dilapidated that for years they have been unfit for use, and were only tolerated; and the period of taxation to erect new ones staved off from year to year because the old ones still cumbered the ground. But during the past year an agreeable change has been effected. The two districts have been united, a new site nearly midway between them secured, and a new, beautiful and commodious house erected, in which our winter's term last week commenced under Prof. RUMSEY as Principal and Miss NOBLE as Assistant, with over one hundred pupils in attendance. We think we have a model house, of which the reproach so long resting upon us may be effectually removed. The trustees, Messrs. COLE, LOOMIS, and GREEN, who have superintended its erection, are eminently entitled to the thanks of the rising generation at least, for their good taste manifested in its erection." * ELBA. The serial meetings at the Methodist church are continued with good results. The late thaw gave some rear-rank farmers access to their undug potato hills, inducing a supplementary Thanksgiving. J.A. STAPLES & Co. have leased the sawmill at Idleport, and will do custom sawing at considerably reduced prices. * ANOTHER PIONEER FALLEN. Deacon Timothy P. LORD, of Elba, departed this life Dec. 4th, in the 82d year of his age. He was born in Fort Edward, Washington county. At an early age he came with his parents to Williamson, Wayne county. At the age of 15 he was baptized and united with the Baptist church. three years afterward he removed to Byron, Genesee county, and was one of the constituent members of the Baptist church, organized there under the labors of his father-in-law, Amos LAMSON. He was married to Minerva LAMSON in May, 1817, who still survives him, though her health is very feeble. Deacon LORD was chosen and ordained as deacon of the Baptist church in Byron and subsequently removing to the town of Elba he was chosen to serve the Baptist church there in that capacity, which he did with great acceptance to the church. He was an eminent Christian--indeed, like John the Baptist, was a"burning and a shining light." Both as a Christian and as a citizen he was very highly esteemed, and the church and community deeply feel his loss. He was a very genial and affectionate companion and father, and his surviving family are bereaved indeed. His daughter and her companions, Mr. and Mrs. WATROUS, left their home in Iowa sme two years since and have most faithfully and with true filiam affection smoothed life's rough way for their father and mother. The funeral sermon was preached on the occasion by a former pastor of the church, Rev. M.P. FORBES, now of Holley. * STAFFORD. Mr. Thomas YATES, of Batavia, is to give a public lecture at Stafford, this Friday evening, Dec. 12th, on the subject of Odd Fellowship. Mr. E.B. SANDERS and wife have returned from their western trip and are nicely settled in their new house at this place. * A BATAVIA BOY IN THE TREASURY. Fred. A. TRYON, son of A.D. TRYON, of this village, has received an appointment to a $1,200 clerkship in the Treasury Department at Washington. We are glad to know that Mr. TRYON has prospects and aspirations for something higher and nobler than a department clerkship--that he takes this position merely as a means to enable him to live in Washington while prosecuting a course of law studies, which he had already commenced there, and to which he devotes all his "off duty" hours. Believing that the appointment has been worthily bestowed and that its influence and effect upon the appointee will not dwarf his purposes of manhood or cause him to be less earnest in his efforts to become thoroughly qualified in the profession he has chosen, we, in common with a host of friends here, heartily congratulate him upon his preferment. * NEIGHBORING COUNTIES. A young Men's Christian Association has been organized in Wellsville. A young boy died a few days since in East Bloomfield, from the excessive drinking of cider. Wellsville's valuation was increased $70,000 by the Board of Supervisors of Allegany county. A freight train on the Central lately ran thro' a flock of sheep near Canandaigua, killing thirty-six. In the Medina apple market 60,448 barrels have been reported this season. So says the Democrat. An old man, 82 years old was arrested in Albion a few days since for stealing a coat. Poor old man! The Dansville Advertiser of the 27th ult., contained nineteen columns of matter concerning the HAAS-ELLIS case. The body of an unknown man was found floating in Niagara river below Black Rock on Thursday afternoon last. Frederick FISHER, a young shoe maker, suicided at Clarence Center, Erie county, a few days since. Temporary insanity. An observing farmer states that at least 10,000 bushels of potatoes lie undug under the snow and frost, in Niagara county alone. The Medina Tribune says the heavy winds of Thursday last week, blew down seven houses on Bancroft tract. No lives lost. Charles O. SHEPARD, U.S. Consul at Yokhama, arrived in Buffao last week on a visit to his friends. He has a six month leave of absence. It is announced from Washington that our townsman Col. Charles O. SHEPARD has resigned his office as consul at Yokohama. So says the Buffalo Post. The Geneseo Republican is bragging over a fifteen pound radish. Such big vegetables are always coarse, stringy, and all that--they don't amount to much. James H. KELLEY, a well-known citizen of Rochester, furnished sixty-eight poor families in that city with materials for a nice Thanksgiving dinner. The Livingston Democrat must like advertising. A carriage concern which went out of existence two years ago is still displayed in double-leaded style. On Saturday, Wm. J. PALMER of Corning, while out hunting partridges, and accidentally shot himself in the side, and died in consequence on Sunday morning. A large frame house which was being built on East Avenue, Attice, by Wm. SAGE, was blown down and totally wrecked by the high winds of Thursday, 4th inst. Nelson PARKER, formerly Supervisor of the town of Carrolton, Catt. county, was killed by the cars at Carrolton a few evenings since. He was crossing the track at the time. Mr. M.L. BIRDSEYE brought in some big ears of corn which hang in our sanctum; some ears measuring fifteen inches in length and corned to the end. -Holley Standard. Rev. Father MULHOLLAND, pastor of the St. John's church, Lockport, fell down stairs at his residence in that city, recently, crushing in his skull. He died in a few hours. Some wretch attempted to throw a train from the track of the railroad between Dansville and Mt. Morris, a few days since, by placing timbers across the road. Fortunately, the attempt failed. Two boys, aged respectively 12 and 13 years, have trapped and skinned 160 muskrats and six mink on the Oak Orchard within sixty days' and the boys attend school, too.-Orleans Democrat. The sheriff of Wyoming presented a bill against the county amounting to $4,926.25, and the Supervisors cut it down about $3,000, giving him $1,965.84. Among the items board and washing were reduced from $4.50 per week to $2.50. Mrs. PICKLES, of Hornelsville, is in a pretty pickle. In company with a Mrs. IDEMAN she visited Albion, and one, or the other, or both, stole a quantity of goods. Mrs. IDEMAN was sent to the Rochester workhouse for six months, and Mrs. PICKLES was fined fifty dollars. Col. John G. KLINCK, of Rochester, a person well and favorably known all through this vicinity, was struck by a falling wall, a few days since, and so injured that he died in a few hours. He was an earnest and porminent Odd Fellow and has visited our county on several occasions as a lecturer in the interests of that order. On the evening of the 8th inst., Rev. M.P. FORBES and family, of Holley, Orleans county, formerly of Elba and more recently of Attica, were very greately and pleasantly surprised by something like a torchlight procession of villagers, (they all had lanterns), marching to his house through the darkness, bearin gthe the Reverend gentleman and his household the substantials and necessaries of life. 'Twas a very pleasant occasion to both surprisers and surprised. There is much talk of raising the Angora or Chsmere goat in Chautauqua county. The alpaca mills at Jamestown, when they commence manufacturing, will consume large quantities of this fleece, which, until it is produced in this country, wil have to be imported. The profits on the fleece are large. The Jamestown Farmers' Club have passed a resolution to form a company to buy and experiment with Angora goats, with a view to their general introduction if they are a success. The Orleans American (Albion) tells that on Sunday evening, 30th ult., Mr. H.L. KING, residing on Liberty street in this village, went to the barn of W.J. HANINGTON, for the purpose of taking care of his (KING's) horse. On ascending to the loft he was seized by two ruffians, who, after gagging him and lashing his arms and limbs, rifled his pockets nad took some $260. The wife of Mr. KING feeling uneasy on account of his unusual delay, (supposing he had received some injury from the horse) hastened to the barn and on entering the door heard faint groans. She alarmed Mr. HANINGTON, who at once proceeded to the barn and found KING as above stated. No clue has been had to the perpetrators of tis bold transaction. * The Reason why ELMORE's is the place to buy Pure Drugs, Chemicals, Patent Medicine, School and Blank Books, Crayons, Tube Paints, Stationery, and Fancy Goods, is, ELMORE's has the most Complete Assortment.

The Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee Co., NY June 22 1883 Very properly PECK's "bad boy" series is being heartily condemned in many papers as silly in detail and vicious in influences. The Rochester Herald "hits the nail right on the head" when it says: "It is about time some journals, secular as well as religious, said something about this unmitigated trash. It is copied in a great many papers and is eagerly read by the children of many respectable homes whose parents will have only themselves to blame if their boys early develop habits of impudence and rowdyism as the result of reading those articles. We believe in hearty fun and can enjoy a good joke as well as any one, but no sensible person can read these papers without seeing that their whole tendancy is to lead boys to become impertinent nuisances at home and in society." LOCAL. ACCIDENT To Will BIRMINGHAM.--On Wednesday of this week Will BIRMINGHAM, of Oak street, this village, who works in the wood shop at the Harvester works, met with a painful accident. He was pushing a small car along the floor, and when near the slitting saw his left foot slipped and his leg came in contact with the swiftly revolving machine, and was deeply gashed, the cut penetrating through the muscles and into the tibula, one of the bones. He was put in a wagon and conveyed to his home, where the injured member was dressed by Dr. H.J. PATTEN. SAD ACCIDENT.--Last Tuesday, during the absence of his parents from home, little Alfred STAVELEY, of Bethany, aged six years, I some way became caught under a window sash and was killed. Appearances indicate that he was climbing into the window when the sash, which was up, became loosed and fell upon his neck, pinioning him there, the tips of his toes barely touching the ground. His agonized mother found him in this position but a few minutes after the accident, but life was extinct. Death was probably instantaneous. The sorrowing parents have the sympathy of all in their sad affliction. INSTITUTION CONCERT.--The school year at the Institution for the Blind, this village, came to a close last Tuesday. As usual a concert, in which the pupils participated, was held, the exercises being of a general literary and musical character, and a calesthenic drill being introduced. The program was well made up and the several parts were creditably carried out, evincing labor and care in preparation. An enjoyable feature of the occasion was the presentation to Dr. WILBOR, by the pupils, through Prof. DEXTER, of an elegant gold-headed cane, a token of their love and esteem. Also the presentation to Mrs. LORD of a fine mantle clock. The thanks and appreciation of the recipients were expressed in fitting terms. ANOTHER APPLE-TREE PEST.--Patrick BARRY stated this morning to a representative of this paper that a canker worm, unknown to this section of the country, but not unheard of before in other sections, had made its appearance among the young apple-trees on his farm near Brighton. They hatch out on the leaves, which they in some manner roll around themselves. After remaining here sometime they begin to eat the leaves and quickly destroy all the foliage. Mr. BARRY warns all orchardists to be on the lookout for the worm or the pest will get the start of them and destroy their orchards. --Union and Advertiser. We are reliably informed that the aphids and other apple-tree pests may be effectually destroyed by burning coal tar under the trees. It should be done on a still day so that the smoke would ascend among the branches. A quantity of tar is put in an old vessel, put on a wheelbarrow or old wagon, set on fire and wheeled about under the trees. Two or three barrels of tar are sufficient for an orchard of seven to ten acres. It is cheap, readily and easily applied, and very effective. NEIGHBORING COUNTIES. Tonawanda is to have a new $10,000 hotel on the "North Side." An Albion sheep has given birth to twins, one black and the other white. The Attica fire department will have its annual parade and inspection July 18th. VAILE, the Star Router, was formerly an Albion lawyer.--Ex. Ah ha! That accounts. A tramp attempted to commit an assault upon Mrs. Patrick Clancey, of Livonia, last week. Lima is infested with fire bugs. An attempt was made to burn Mrs. GODFREY's house in that place. A leading real estate dealer in Warsaw says that he has not a single farm for sale in the town of Warsaw. Mrs. Niles KEENEY was thrown from a carriage in Warsaw last Saturday, and had her arm and one rib broken. A panther is said to be lying around loose in the vicinity of Jamestown, and the nimrods of that locality are laying low for it. C.F. WADSWORTH, of Geneseo, says he has 400 acres of wheat that looks first-rate.-- People must take the statement for Wadsworth. A man in North Bloomfield was cleaning out a cellar recently and found a purse containing $7.67, which his father secreted there seventy years ago. Col. BAIN is to be one of the speakers at the Silver Lake camp meeting which opens Aug. 7th. His subject is: "Our boys and girls--naughty and nice." Mrs. Chanuncey B. POND, of Pearl Creek, Wyoming county, made four pounds of giltedge butter per day from the milk of two Durham cows during the month of May. The Nunda News and Caledonia Advertiser are booming Gen. James WOOD, of Geneseo, for Supreme Court Judge. That wood is hardly the right timbre for the position. Some time ago the report went abroad that the Attica Hook & Ladder Co. had disbanded. And now the report goes out that the Jefferson Cornet Band has disbanded.--A mistake in both instances. The band lives and so does the hook and ladder company.--Attica News. NEW FIRM!

Rochester, Monroe, NY Times Union July 21, 1925 FINDS HANDSOME BABY ON MULBERRY STREET PORCH (photo of baby) Captivating baby found on porch of home of Mrs. George HINCH this morning When the milkman came around to deliver the milk at the home of Mrs. Winifred HINCH, at 23 Mulberry street, between 4 and 4:30 o'clock this morning, he noticed a small and squirming bundle on the front porch. He heard a smothered cry, investigated and there was a two month old baby boy, dressed in well-made clothing fashioned from fine materials. The milkman wakened Mrs. HINCH and asked her if she knew she had a visitor on the front porch. There followed considerable surprise and maternal solicitation for the newcomer, deserted by his parents. Mr. HINCH called the University avenue police station and the child was taken to the Children's Shelter in Plymouth avenue north. Mrs. HINCH said that she arrived home late last night from her vacation and retired at once. About 1:30 o'clock she heard an automobile stop near her home and then she heard the steps of a man on the front porch. The steps retired and she went back to sleep again, but was troubled by the cries of a child which she thought was next door or somewhere in the neighborhood. The first indication that she was the recipient of the deserted little visitor was the milkman's announcement. **** July 22, 1925 DIED APOSTOL - Cris APOSTOL died at Highland Hospital, Wednesday morning, July 22, 1925.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle May 17, 1875 continued ALBION AN OLD SETTLER Amos GEL???, who resides a short distance outside of Albion, and who is now seventy-eight, was also visited by our reporter. He says, I came to Ridgeway with my parents in 1811. It was then the town Batavia, and the people had to go to Batavia and do town business. Some did not like it, so they got all the people to the north, all east as far as Murray and all west as far as they had settled, seceded from Batavia and erected the town of Ridgeway. The Tonawanda Indians were the only ones around here then. This place where Albion now stands was covered with heavy timber then, and was a rather low and swampy sort of a place. I helped to put up the first mill at Ridgeway, and I helped to build the first barn in town. The first marriage that took place in this section was a strange one. A man was arrested for debt and they got a judgment against him. They were going to take him to Batavia to jail, and he knew he could swear himself out in thirty days if he was a married man. So he got the justice and hurried of to the girl's house, and was married before they could recover from their astonishment. But it turned out all right. The first children born here were those of Lansing BAILLEY - a pair of twins. He cut a log and made a cradle for them. I came with my father, mother, five brothers and three sisters. We came up by the ridge, though it could hardly be called a road then. We located at Ridgeway corners and took up one hundred and seventy-eight acres of land. Dr. William WHITE, David HOOKER and Otis TURNER were living near there then, when we came. There were plenty of deer and bear. Albert WHITE who still lives near here and who was the son of Dr. WHITE, found a cub one day and started home with it, but the old bear came along rather too fast and he dropped the cub, but the old one kept right on after him and he had to jump down a high bank to get away from her. During the war of 1812, we were afraid of the Canada Indians, but the Tonawandas were friendly. We could distinctly hear the noise of the battle near Lewiston. The people thought the British were coming and they got into a block-house that Dr. WHITE, Otis TURNER and HOOKER had built. No one came to hurt them, however. After the war the people came in here freely. Albion was then as swampy a piece of ground in some parts as Rochester used to be, they jumped from one log to another there. One summer my cousin Eli FARR and I laid in the woods about a mile north of here all summer, and cleared eight acres. We burnt it and sold the ashes and put the proceeds into wheat. There was no house around, and there were some weeks we did not see anyone. We had come out of the woods to get a sight of anyone. We had a camp kettle, a knife and a hatchet, and when we got a bushel of corn I walked down to Rochester and got it ground. When I got back, we used to wet it and stir it up then we baked it on a chip and ate it. If we were fortunate enough to get potatoes, we had a banquet of corn-cakes and potatoes, with water from the spring. When the canal was surveyed through here it was a mud hole. When this county was first erected, Gaines used to be the county seat. But afterward the commissioners appointed Albion the county seat. I have lived just about a mile north of Albion for about forty years. NEWSPAPERS In 1823, Oliver COWDERY who has been the pioneer printer in many villages of Western New York, issued the Newport patriot and continued it until 1825. Then T. C. STRONG issued it until 1829. John KEMPSHALL then issued it for nine months, when it stopped. After it had been silent for about nine months, Mr. STRONG was induced to assume the duties of publisher a second time and continued so until 1844. It was then conducted by J. & J. H. DENIO until 1853, when S. a. ANDREWS assumed command and conducted it until 1861. D. S. & H. A. BRUNER then published it until the death of the former and it has since been issued by H. A. BRUNER. It has changed the title and is now known as the Orleans American. Cephas S. McCONNELL established the Orleans Republican in 1828. In 1841 he sold out and it passed through several hands until 1848 when Mr. McCONNELL again took possession of it. In 1851, J. O. WILLSEA & C. G. BEACH came in. In 1860, C. G. BEACH purchased the share of Mr. WILLSEA and continued the publication until his decease in 1868. B. H. RANDOLPH was the editor from 1868 till 1870. F. G. & L. H. BEACH have edited the paper since then. CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS The first religious society organized in Albion was the Presbyterian, which commenced, in 1824, with sixteen members. Rev. William JOHNSTON was the first pastor, Rev. E. B. WALSWORTH is the present pastor. The society have just erected a splendid church, at an expense of $80,000. The Baptist church was organized, in 1830, with twenty-four members, Rev. Asa IRONS being the first pastor. In 1831 a church was erected. Rev. J. W. B. CLARK is the present pastor. The Methodist Episcopal church commenced, in 1830, with ten members. Rev. J. W. NEVINS was the first pastor, and Rev. R. C. BROWNLEE is the present one. The Episcopal church was founded in 1844, Rev. Orrin MILLER being the first rector, Rev. E. T. SANFORD is the present rector. The Catholic church was established in 1852, Rev. Father DILLON being the first pastor, Rev. J. CASTALDIA is the present pastor. The Free Methodist church was organized a short time since, Rev. A. n. MOORE being the present pastor. In 1833 Miss Caroline PHIPPS opened, in Albion, a select school for young ladies. It was very successful. In 1836 a seminary was erected. Miss PHIPPS was united to H. L. ACHILLES, and removed to Rochester, leaving the seminary in charge of two sisters. In 1844 Mrs. ACHILLIES returned to take charge of the school. In 1840 the school was incorporated under the name of "The PHIPPS Union Female Academy." Owing to two recent and destructive fires the academy is at present closed. It is expected to reopen in the fall, however. The Albion academy, an old and valued educational institution, is at present under the care of Professor A. STILLSON. Besides the above there are four well conducted district schools and two select schools, those of Miss P. A. FOSTER and Miss O. C. BENTON, at Albion. Albion also possesses an educating power in the shape of a circulating library of nearly 2,000 volumes and reading room. THE COUNTY BUILDINGS Of Orleans county, excepting the alms house, are all situated at Albion. The Orleans county agricultural society, organized in (Next 10 lines unreadable with a big chunk missing) The Mount Albion cemetery, about two miles north of the court house, is a beautiful place. It was laid out in 1843 and has been carefully attended to until now. In this cemetery is a fine monument memory of the soldiers who went from here to fall in the cause of freedom. It will be dedicated on the coming decoration day. In side is a spiral staircase leading to the observatory above. Tablets containing the names of those to whose memory it was erected are placed upon the monument. There are two banks at Albion - the bank of Orleans, incorporated in 1834, and the bank of Albion, incorporated in 1839. The charter of the latter is for 1000 years and will legally expire in 2839. It is to be hoped that all of the good people of Albion will be present at that time to see that the expiration of the charter is duly attended to. The hotels of Albion are the Albion house, Warner Brothers proprietors; the Orleans house, Tay & Son proprietors; the Exchange hotel, R. P. BORDWELL proprietor. The railroad lunch house at Albion, over which the well known and popular H. J. REYNOLDS presides, is one of the best conducted and best patronised on the Central road. A new depot will soon be erected on the site of one destroyed by fire a short time since. It will be of brick. PROFESSIONAL The lawyers of Albion are A. THOMAS, John G. SAWYER, Charles A. KEELER, J. M. THOMPSON, S. S. SPENCER, George BULLARD, Henry A. GLIDDEN, H. S. GOFF(?), Edwin A. REYNOLDS, A. W. CRANDALL, J. H. WHITE, Edwin PORTER, John CUNNEEN, and Clark D. KNAPP.

MANUFACTURING The manufacturing interest of Albion, Though not large, is still of much importance. There are three planing mills, four carriage factories, Jerome LEE'S flouring mill, George W. OUGH'S furniture manufactory, Field & Diem's marble works, and the Curtis manufacturing company. The quarries about Albion are very valuable and employ from 250 to 300 hands during the summer. Wetmore & Co. are the largest proprietors. REPRESENTATIVE MEN To Albion belong a number of men who have become famous. Among them may be mentioned Chief Justice Sanford E. CHURCH, Hon, Noah DAVIS, ex-Governor BULLOCK of Georgia, Benjamin FIELD and G. M.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle May 17, 1875 ALBION The Center of New York's Garden Ground The Erie Canal - Early Settlers - How Albion Became a County Seat - Changed from Swamp to Fertile Land - The Growth of the Village - Manufacturing Interests. - Quarries The ground whereon the thriving village of Albion now stands was included in the tract purchased by the Holland company, and the titles to property therein are all based on the original grants of that company. It was a swampy place and was anything but a land of promise to the pioneers in search of a home in Western New York. The Iroquois had used these grounds long ago for hunting but when the white settlers came here they found a few Tonawandans who came from the settlements of their tribe a few miles south to fish and hunt. About 1803 Joseph ELLIOTT caused a road to be laid out from Batavia, the headquarters of the Holland purchase, Oak Orchard harbor. This was long before railroads or canals were thought of for this section, and when men were devising means to secure water transportation with the great towns of Canada and the east. ELLIOTT'S plan included the survey of a town at Oak Orchard harbor to be called Manilla. Manilla was to be a great port, through which the commerce of this region was to be shipped to Oswego, Quebec and Montreal. The "broad Oak Orchard road," as it was called, was to be the great highway leading to this sea port. The results of this enterprise, like that of the town surveyed by Robert TROUPE at Sodus harbor for a similar purpose is too well known to need any explanation. The Oak Orchard road, however, though it did not effect the building of a town at the harbor, did a very good thing for the country around. The first settlers in the vicinity of Albion located upon it. The first who settled upon ground now within the corporate limits of Albion was William McCALLISTER, who took up a large tract of land and erected the first log hut upon the site of the Phipps seminary in 1811. In the following year the wife of McCALLISTER died. There was no woman within many miles, only four men gathered at the funeral. They had no nails and made a rude coffin from boards fastened together with wooden pins. It was one of the saddest funerals on record. A short time after the death of his wife, McCALLISTER sold out to William BRADNER, who commenced to clear the heavily timbered land. To his brother, Joel BRADNER, he sold 100 acres fronting on the road. Joel erected a hut near the site of Hon. Sanford E. CHURCH'S present residence. In 1814 Elijah DARROW purchased about 100 acres, also fronting on the Oak Orchard road. He sold out, however, in the same year, to Frederick HOLSENBURGH, who cleared a space, built a hut and moved in, John HOLSENBURGH took up, in 1812, another tract near his brother about the same time. In 1812 Jesse BUMPUS purchased 163 acres from the Holland land company. He cleared away the timber near the road and erected a hut into which he moved with his family. After this settlers came in more freely, took up the land lying away from the main road and began the work of clearing the timber. All this region was then heavily timbered and bears, deers, wolves, etc., abounded. One day F. HOLSENBURG found a bear cub near where the Central depot now stands. He took it home and that night was awakened by the efforts of the old bear to enter the cabin. He had no gun, and could not get at the bear with a club unless he opened the door. He quietly pitched the cub out of doors and the unwelcome visitor departed with it. At this time - about 1816 - the roads were still bad, and a good market was far away. A trade in ashes had been started in 1814. A short time after the trade in stoves commenced. Both of these articles were sent to Montreal and they for some time formed the only source of the farmer's revenue. In 1818 the first crop of wheat was r aised in this vicinity. NEWPORT In 1819 Nehemiah INGERSOLL, who is said to have first started the idea of a village, arrived here. He purchased, in company with George STANDART, Jr., 100 acres from H. BRADNER. They also purchased from others and employed Orange RISDEN to survey the ground into village lots and streets. INGERSOLL is said to have named the proposed village Newport, after Newport, R. I. The first tavern was kept by O. H. BLACK, the second by Philetus BUMPUS, William BRADNER erected on Sandy Creek the first saw mill, also the first grist mill. Orson NICHOLSON who came in 1822 was the first physician, he also opened the first drug store. Henry R. CURTIS was the first lawyer. The first school was kept by the wife of Silas BENTON, who kept boarders, kept house and kept school in the same building. The early merchants were William BRADNER, Harvey GOODRICH and R. S. & L. BURROWS. ALBION The name of the settlement was at first Newport, and the way in which it received its present name was that a public meeting was called to consider the subject of changing the name of the village. The people were induced to take this step because there was another village in the state called Newport and this caused great trouble with mail matter. It was decided to change the name to Albion, and it was done, and the village was incorporated as Albion in 1828. In 1829, the county of Orleans was organized and commissioners were appointed for the purpose of locating the site of the county buildings. The principal contestants for this honor were Gaines and Albion. The commissioners visited Gaines, heard the people, were well treated and started out for Albion. Here the people were worldly wise and determined to have the building if possible. They were conveyed to the residence of Nehemiah INGERSOLL, where they partook of a well prepared dinner. After the meal, and when the commissioners felt very good, they were placed in a carriage and driven around the enterprising village, while Philetus BUMPUS and Nehemiah INGERSOLL expatiated upon the future growth of the place. A branch of Handy creek runs through the town. A building had been erected for a mill but had never been occupied. A dam had been built. BUMPUS caused this dam to be raised several days before the commissioners appeared, and when they whirled by in their carriage they saw a broad sheet of water, a fine mill and abundant power. When out of sight of it BUMPUS told them in a quiet way what a grand thing it was for a town to have water power and how abundantly Albion had been blessed with it. It was this act which determined the location of the buildings. They were located here in 1825. In 1856 the county clerk's office was erected, in 1838 the county jail was built and they still stand. THE CANAL passed directly through Albion and has added greatly to its wealth and importance. Ir became a large shipping point - it was the county seat, it was the center of a large trade and it grew rapidly into importance. Before railroads had intersected the state, the canal was the great channel of commerce, and the towns along its banks became busy centers of trade for the country for miles around. Albion was one of the busiest of these. Its enterprising merchants erected warehouses, Nehemiah INGERSOLL building the first in 1826. An immense trade was carried on in lumber. The surrounding country was rapidly opened, after the canal had furnished an outlet for its products. The swamps were changed to fertile farms, and the tract that at one time was considered good for nothing, except fever and ague, became a vast garden. This cultivation has gone on, and now the land about Albion is among the richest, most valuable and productive in western New York. The village was described as follows, in 1836: It contains one Presbyterian and one Methodist church; a high school seminary for females; a court house of brick, a neat edifices in which are the county offices, erected upon a public square; a prison of hewn logs, a bank incorporated the 30th of April 1834, with a capital of $200,000, four forwarding and commission houses; thirteen dry goods stores, one wholesale hardware store two druggists stores, two shoe and leather stores, one bookstore, two tanneries, one ??bery, two ?rist mills, three saw mills, one carding and cloth dressing mill, one furnace for casting iron, four taverns, one wholesale and several retail groceries, various mechanics, nine lawyers and five physicians, two printing offices, 221 dwellings of brick and wood, many of which are large, neat and commodious, surrounded by a fertile country abounding in fruit, such as apples, pears, peaches, apricots, nectarines, grapes, etc. John HUBBARD, who came here in 1826, and who still resides here, was visited by our reporter and told his story as follows:- I came from Jefferson county to this place in 1826. I got on a steamboat at Sacketts Harbor and got off at Hanford's Landing, now in the city of Rochester. Then I got (unreadable) line boat at Rochester, and arrived here on the 26th of August, 1826. It was a small village then, and they had just changed the name to Albion. R. S. and L. BURROWS, Phineas PHILLIPS, Ambrose WOOD and John HENDERSON are all the ones that are here now of those that came here before I did. A stage used to run to Batavia then, going out one day and coming back the next. Henry HENDERSON ran it. There were no Indians living around here, though the Tonawandas had a settlement several miles south and used to come to Albion to sell their goods and trade. There were deer and bears around here when I came, but no wolves. I think there were about 200 people here when I arrived - not over 200. I purchased some land and began to make wagons, and have done so since on a small scale. A good canal trade grew up here. White wood lumber, staves and wheat were the principal articles shipped from here. The land around here was low and heavily timbered. Main street has been filled up a good deal; about five feet or more it used to be swampy, all around except on the hill where the court house stands. The business portion was situated in about the same place as now. There being no water power here, there has never been a great deal of manufacturing; but the local demand has nearly always been supplied in most things. The canal made the town grow; then the railroad helped it along, and, being the county seat and the center of a rich farming land, it had always made it a busy place. Ambrose WOOD came in 1825 and still resides here, being now in his seventy-first year. He removed from Penfield, coming from Rochester on the canal. He states that deer were plenty, but that there were not many bears here when he came. Two men while making sugar started a bear. Every one got his gun and started. The bear made a wide circuit and finally run through the village, while the men with the guns were in the woods hunting for him. About 200 people were here when Mr. WOOD came. A man named SMITH fired the gun which welcomed the lieutenant-governor when he came through on the opening of the canal. continued Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

Superintendent Thomas H. YAWGER said that no wire was attached to the dynamite and that it probably was a charge that had missed fire and had been shoveled up with the coal. "I don't believe the powder would cause any harm if it got into the furnace," said Mr. YAWGER. "It probably would burn away. We do not know whether it is active or not, but it has been sent to competent persons for examination. The wrapping was considerably worn and the powder may have lost much of its strength." Mr. YAWGER was asked if dynamite was often found in coal. He replied that he had not known of such an incident before. He was of the opinion, however, that a person with mischievous intent would have taken more pains to carry out a harmful project. **** ANNA CASE DRAWS WELL Young American Soprano Has Had Large Audiences Anna CASE, the young American soprano who will sing in Convention Hall next Monday evening as soloist with the Rochester Orchestra, James R.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & CHronicle Feb. 14, 1918 INFANT TAKEN FROM MOTHER Husband Attempts to Carry It from City, but Is Stayed Geneva, Feb. 13 - Mrs. Eugene E. HILL, of Pre-Emption road, started proceedings to-day to obtain possession of her infant child, which is at the Shelter in Tillman street. Her husband, Eugene HILL, who has filed proceedings in County Court asking for an interlocutory decree of divorce, went to their home last night, in company with Deputy Sheriff MILES, of Canandaigua, and Deputy Sheriff M. J. CANNON, of this city, and took possession of the child, which is a nursing infant, and brought it to the Shelter. Later in the evening Mrs. HILL applied at the Shelter for permission to visit the infant and was refused admittance. She was informed that it was the intention of the husband to remove the child from the city, placing it in charge of some relative of his. The mother immediately called Judge DITMARS, explaining the case to him. Judge DITMARS took the matter up with District-Attorney N. D. LAPHAM, who hurried downtown in time to catch the party at the depot as they were about to leave the city with the child. The district- attorney ordered the child returned to the Shelter, where it is now being kept and arrangements have been made for the mother to visit it. It is possible that the child will be kept at the Shelter pending the outcome of the husband's action to obtain possession of it. **** SENIOR CLASS ORGANIZES Canandaigua, Feb. 13 - The 1918 senior class of Canandaigua Academy has organized with the following officers: President, James KELLY; vice-president, Helen BROWN; secretary and treasurer, Mary SEAMAN.

MAY 30, 1900 PAGE 6 Confined in a Cellar Till He was Captured by Superintendent CRIPPEN of the Pound. A bull terrier belonging to Jack TURNER of St. Paul street was put to death at the dog pound on the river flats yesterday by Superintendent CRIPPEN. The dog was thought to be mad, and the pound superintendent took no little risk in capturing the canine and taking him to the pound. TURNER's dog was bitten two weeks ago by a dog on Driving Park avenue. No particular attention was paid to the bite till a few days ago, when the animal began to act in a strange manner. Then it was concluded that the dog that had bitten him was probably suffering from rabies. It was not long after the dog had attracted attention by his strange actions that he went into the cellar of the unused street car barn next north of TURNER's Rock Cottage. TURNER concluded that it was a good place for the dog, and he stopped up all the holes through which the dog might escape. The dog did a good deal of howling in the cellar, and the matter was called to the attention of Superintendent CRIPPEN by a lady who lives in the vicinity. She stated that the dog had been in the barn several days, and she thought it had not been fed. Mr. CRIPPEN went to see TURNER, who made an explanation which satisfied Mr. CRIPPEN that the best thing had been done under the circumstances. The pound master, armed with a net, went to the cellar and caught the dog, which was a dangerous as well as no easy task. The animal was taken to the pound and there put to death with the fumes of charcoal. Seen Struggling in the water by Michael GRANT Who Dived in and Hauled Him Out. An unknown boy, fairly well dressed and about 16 years of age, was taken to the City Hospital at 10:30 o'clock this morning from Hose 5 on Lyell avenue in an unconscious condition, having been hauled out of the canal by Michael GRANT of Smith street. The physicians at the hospital were working over the boy at a late hour in an effort to restore him to consciousness. It is not known how the boy got into the canal. He was first seen struggling in the water by GRANT, who was near Lyell avenue bridge at the time. The point where the boy was in the water was near Moore street. GRANT hastened to the bank of the canal and throwing off his coat dove into the water as the boy was sinking presumably for the third time. By the time GRANT reached the youth he had stopped struggling, having become unconscious. By the time GRANT appeared at the surface of the water with the boy and drew him to the bank quite a crowd had collected and GRANT with his burden was hauled out. The boy was carried to the fire house on Lyell avenue and efforts were made to resuscitate him while waiting for the arrival of the City Hospital ambulance, which was sent for. The boy showed little signs of life when the ambulance arrived and a quick run was made back to the hospital where the physicians spent several hours in endeavoring to resuscitate the boy as it was apparent that there was still life in the body. The physicians worked heroically and several times the boy seemed to be coming to, but each time he sank again into a stupor. The treatment was kept up in the hope that the boy would be restored to consciousness. It could not be ascertained who the boy was or how he fell into the canal as no one saw him fall in. It is possible that the ??? riding a bicycle along the canal bank and that he accidentally rode into the water. The fireman at the hose house did all they could in the way of attempting to resuscitate the lad. As quickly as possible the ambulance was sent for and the boy was taken to the hospital. The physicians at the hospital said the boy appeared to be 15 or 16 years of age and that he was fairly well dressed. Submitted by S. Olson
