I'm wondering if anyone else out there is tracking this family? Carrie Louise (DEAN) TATE was an only child, the daughter of Benjamin and Maria (WAITE) DEAN. I don't have further information back from her parents. Charles H. TATE was one of five children of Robert TATE (1827, England -1880, Scipio, NY) and Helen Maria VANOMMEN (1824, Holland -1898, Scipio, NY). Helen was the sister of my great-great grandmother Elizabeth (VANOMMEN) HITCHCOCK. Charles had siblings: 1. Helen Mary TATE married William H. BATTEN 2. Robert William TATE married Susan Adelia L'HOMMENDIEU 3. Margaret "Mattie" TATE married Edward B. KING 4. Albert TATE married Anna SNYDER ------- Bill Hart

Pat Kimber Frontenac Museum Union Springs, NY Union Springs ponders old schoolhouse use Sunday, December 02, 2007 By Debra J. Groom Staff writer The public hearing concerning the renovation project for the Old Stone Schoolhouse in Union Springs is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday in the middle school/high school library. The public will have the chance to hear more about the project and ask questions. Residents will vote Dec. 11 on whether to spend money to renovate the Old Stone Schoolhouse for use as a media center, video production studio and classroom. It also could be used as a meeting room for school functions or for the community. Renovating it for this use will cost local taxpayers the least of three options facing the district. The options and their estimated costs as of January are: Ö Tearing it down, at a cost of $65,391. Ö Renovating it for use as a storage facility, $178,613. Ö Renovating it for use as classroom, $230,613 (the most recent cost for this is $296,821). Renovating the building as classroom space costs local taxpayers less than the other options because the district will receive $276,769 in state aid for this option. No state aid is allowed to demolish the building or renovate it for storage use. Debra J. Groom can be reached at dgroom@syracuse.com or 253-7316.

As always, thanks to everyone for their informative posts. Bill Hecht, your shares and work are appreciated beyond words. Please know how much we all thank you for your time and efforts. The Old Stone School Mailer was very interesting. I understand that it is a local referendum and important to the community because it involves additional revenues from them. I just wonder if there is anywhere 'outsiders' can post a "yes interest" to show positive support for the project. I think the proposed use of the building after renovation as a technology/communication center is 'spot on' considering the building's long history thus taking it from 'stage stop' to helping teach technology/communication. Very appropriate. Bill, thanks for the additional photos of the stone building from years past. They certainly helps to show the charm of the place. My interest (also Cousin Edward Parker) in the Stone School building stems from family history that it was once used as a "stage coach stop" run by our Hawley ancestors, William N. Hawley (1827-1885) and son, Ezra C. Hawley (1848- __). Bill, your Mother and also Norma Bilak indicate historically that Hawley's ran the stage stop from that stone building so I am much more likely to believe that thread of my family history. I don't know if they lived in and also ran the 'stop' from that building but I suspect that maybe Ezra lived on the premises. Is there a basic chronology of the uses and/or inhabitants of this historical building? The year the building was built would also be of interest to me. If anyone can lead me to a person or source of information about the history of this building, I would be very grateful. Thank you, Pat Welty, St. Augustine, FL

Hi Bill, I definitely vote to save the building. I believe an early Hawley relative, and later on a teacher,(Ms. Jamison), who taught both my mother and myself, resided there.
