I don't have any, but I can suggest what has worked for me in the past. Go to your local library, give them the titles, and ask them to get them for you on interlibrary loan. Most public libraries do that as a matter of course. It might cost you a dollar or two for each loan, and it might take a couple weeks to get them, but when the books come in you will be notified. Unless the copies are somehow restricted to reference, you should be able to take them home for the loan period. This also works for microfiche and microfilm -- great for reviewing newspapers and periodicals. Elena Anderson Santa Barbara CA

THE OWEGO RECORD THE AUBURN BULLETIN May 28, 1896 No 1 GORDON B. BURGETT DEAD. Dejected and Despondent He Takes His Own Life. The Auburn Bulletin of Thursday contains the following account of the suicide of Gordon W. BURGETT, who was formerly of Owego. The shooting is shrouded in mystery, but, as far as can be learned, the indications are that it is an attempt at suicide. "BURGETT was found this morning by his clerk, John NOLAN, when he opened the fish store in State street between 6 and 7 o'clock. He was lying in the room in the rear of the store, but Mr. NOLAN did not know what the trouble was. He asked Mr. BURGETT what the matter was and the latter replied that he was in great pain and told the clerk to go out and get him some morphine. Nr. NOLAN did and after Mr. BURGETT had taken some of the drug he seemed to feel better, but did not say anything about the trouble other then to tell the clerk not to let anyone in to see him "Mr. BURGETT still complained about being in great pain and it was decided to take him to his home in Seymour street. A hack was called and just at that time Dr. SMITH happened to be passing and he went to the house with Mr. BURGETT. "When BURGETT reached the house Dr. SMITH told him to take his clothes off. He did not want to do this but the doctor insisted, and hen he saw the blood running from the wound he asked what caused it? It was then that BURGETT told him, He said they would find out anyway and that he had shot himself. "Dr. CHESSMAN was summoned and after probing for the bullet, which entered in the stomach, it was decided to take him to the hospital. "For some time passed BURGETT has been despondent and dejected and yesterday morning he was up and dressed when his wife arose. This was contrary to his custom but his wife did not think much of it. Before he left the house he told her he had a chance to sell a silver watch he had in the house and gave her his gold one, taking in its place the silver one. "He told his wife not to have dinner until 1:30 as he would not be home until that time. He then left for the store, but did not return at that time and she began to get worried about his absence. "As the afternoon wore on her uneasiness increased and she send word for him. A quite hunt was made for him by some of his friends but they were unsuccessful. Mr. BURGETT was for 25 years a railroad man, working on the Southern Central road, beginning on the work train and working up to the position of passenger conductor, which he held until a little more a year ago, when he was dismissed. "Not long ago he started a fish market in State street, which was formerly run by John HOLMES. Business was not as good as it might have been and this is assigned as the cause of the shooting. *********** Word was received here Friday morning that Mr. BURGETT died Thursday night and his brother-in-law, C. R. DEAN, left at once for Auburn. *********** Gordon W. BURGETT died at the City hospital Thursday night at 11:15 o'clock from the effects of a bullet in his stomach, fired by his own hand. The dead man was widely known throughout the city and vicinity and his friends were limited only by his acquaintances. For 25 years he worked on the railroad, being with the Southern Central and working with that road and the Lehigh Valley until a little over a year ago. He was born in Owego, August 16, 1843 and was 52 years and 9months old. He is survived by a wife and one child, a boy, and by one sister, Mrs. John HOLMES of this city. The funeral will be held from his late home, No. 96 Seymour street, Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m. and the remains will be taken to Owego Monday for interment As a last chance operation was performed on the wounded man by Dr. CHESSMAN. The wound in the stomach was sewed up and the stomach washed. BURGETT was in a critical condition when the operation was preformed but it was done at the request of his wife, who wanted every chance given him. He rallied from the operation and was conscious until the end came, his wife being with him all the time. Coroner TRIPP decided that an inquest was unnecessary, as BURGETT said that he committed the deed but gave no reason for doing so. BURGETT was at the hardware store of D. A. SMITH & Co., Wednesday morning. He examined a number of revolvers with the intent of purchasing one. The clerk who waited upon him reduced the price to one which BURGETT seemed to have taken a fancy. BURGETT refused to purchase unless a box of cartridges were thrown in. This the clerk refused to do and BURGETT left without buying. This is evidence that BURGETT had contemplated suicide for some little time at least. - Auburn Bulletin. FUNERAL AT AUBURN The funeral of Gordon W. BURGETT who died at the City hospital Thursday evening from the effects of a bullet fired by his own hand, was held from his late home 96 Seymour street, Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock. Rev John BRAINARD, rector of St. Peter's church officiating. The house was filled to overflowing with the friends and relatives of the dead man and many were seated outside the house.

The remains were taken to Owego for interment Monday morning on the 8:15 train. - Auburn Bulletin. BURIED AT OWEGO. A party of ten accompanied the remains of Gordon W. BURGETT from Auburn to Owego on the Lehigh Monday morning. They were met at the station by the hearse and many friends, The pall bearers were E. O. ELDRIDGE O. BEACH, B. BANDLER, S. F. FAIRCHILD A.

Mr. Joseph Leonard McENTEE and Miss Augustus Frances RICH were wedded yesterday morning at the home of the brides parents at Richford, Tioga county, NY. Mr. ENTEE (sic) is the political writer and the representative in this city of the United Press and is a brilliant example of a self-made prosperous youth. Miss RICH is the daughter of Chauncey L. RICH, at one time one of the most prominent business men in Tioga county and prominently identified with the building and management of the Southern Central railroad of which for many years he was treasurer. He is now retired. Miss RICH is a vivacious demi-blonde of striking presence, and gifted with conversational powers.

The bride wore her traveling dress at the ceremony, which was preformed by the Rev. Father DUNN of Horseheads, Chemung county. When the bridal couple return to the city they will live at No.163 Jay street in a pretty little house which Mr. McENTEE bought and furnished for his bride. MARRIAGE RECORD. MEAD-HAMMOND. A very pretty event occurred at the home of William R. MEAD of Weltonville Thursday, June 4, 1896, it being the marriage of their only daughter, Dora, to Edison HAMMOND, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Melville HAMMOND of Berkshire. At 8 p. m., as the organ played by Fred BLEWER, began to send forth the strains of the wedding march, the wedding party entered the parlor accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Will HAMMOND of Newark Valley, who acted as best man and maid of honor. The ceremony was preformed by Rev. J. B. COOK of Newark Valley in the presence of 76 relatives and friends, after an elaborate collation was served, all the guests doing ample justice to the viands prepared. The bride was richly gowned in steel gray silk and carried a bunch of white flowers. The company was highly entertained by music furnished by Messrs. STEELE and BLEWER, after which all departed, wishing Mr. and Mrs. HAMMOND a long and happy life. The presents were costly and numerous. >From Up the Creek. Here is the champion yarn yet, although told by one of our citizens who is perfectly able to tell the truth on special occasions. He was plowing a field last week when the plow turn up an elderly and respectable hen out of the furrow. Then, instead remaining in a passive and quiet state, as a dead hen should, she got up and though a bit unsteady in the legs began picking around for something to fill up the vacuum under her feathers. Now this man swears he plowed that hen under last fall. - Newark Valley Herald. Bill Grummons [email protected]

THE OWEGO, RECORD COUNTY COURT. The June term of county court closed yesterday, after having been in session nine days and transacted a large amount of business. The following account of the RECORD'S special court reporter takes us to the story where it was left off last week. The trial of William JOHNSON for rape was concluded about 5 o'clock Friday afternoon. The jury was out about an hour and returned a verdict of guilty of rape in the second degree. Yesterday morning JOHNSON was brought up for sentence. Argument was made by his counsel upon a motion for a new trial, but the motion was denied. He was sentenced to the New York reformatory at Elmira. The indictment against John KENT for manslaughter was brought up and trial was moved - only seven jurymen secured before adjournment. At about ten o'clock Friday morning the following jury was secured; I. G. LEMON, Waverly; Harvey J. WILLIAMS, Berkshire; Henry G. HART; Candor; James BEESEMER; Lockwood; William ISENBURG, Owego: Minor GAGE, Gaskill; E. G. WOODFORD, West Candor; Robert GILMAN, Candor; C. M. HUBBELL, North Barton; J. M. SLAUSON, Waverly; G. Q. HANNA, Waverly; William THOMAS, Owego. The crime is charged to have been committed by assaulting George BAKER, late of Apalachin, and thereby inflicting injuries which resulted in the said BAKER'S death. It was expected to be a long case, but everything went smoothly and the evidence was closed at 4:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. While the charge is a grave one those who listened to the evidence could see that there would be great difference of opinion as to whether or not the defendant was guilty of that crime or of a lesser offence. The district attorney tried the case closely for the people and M. S. LYNCH, Esq., and J. S. GROSS, Esq., as closely watched the interests of Defendant KENT. It was 6 o'clock when the charge to the jury was completed and therefore too late to move the trial of another case. Court was held open until 8:30 in the evening, at which time the jury came to the courtroom and asked for further instructions as the lesser grade charge. Again retiring the jurors remained out for a short time and brought in a verdict of "guilty of assault in the third degree." KENT was then sentence to pay a fine of $50. or to be committed to jail for 50 days. Assault in the third degree is technical assault, and the prisoner received as heavy a sentence was warranted by the grade of the crime which he was convicted. He will probably serve his time in jail. Friday morning Herbert LeROY of Richford was sentenced to the Elmira reformatory upon his plea of guilty of petit larceny, second offence, committed by taking $15 from C. L. RICH of Richford. Saturday the trial of William H. VASBINDER of Halsey Valley for assault in the second degree was moved by the district attorney. A jury was procured and the trial was fairly underway at noon at which time court was adjourned till Monday June, 8, at 11 o'clock a. m. The trial was taken up Monday morning when court called and was summed up by J. S. GROSS, Esq., for the defense before the noon adjournment. District Attorney F. A. DARROW summed up as soon as court called that afternoon and the court charged the jury. The jury was out about five hours and late in the evening came in and through the foreman said that there was no possibility of their reaching a verdict. They were discharged and the case now goes to the next county court for a second trial. The trial of Stephen REEVE of Apalachin for assault in the third degree was commenced about 4 p. m. Monday. The main defense in this case was that the defendant had heretofore been tried, convicted and sentenced for this offence and could not legally put upon his defense a second time. The district attorney represented the people and CLARK and TUTHILL the defendant. The case was continued Tuesday morning and was given to the jury before the noon adjournment. About 4 o'clock the REEVE jury brought in a verdict of "guilty as charged to the indictment." A motion for a new trial upon the minutes of court was made by the defense. The motion was denied and the court granted a certificate of reasonable doubt. Stephen REEVE, the defendant, was then sentenced to pay a fine of $25 or stand committed to jail for not more then 25 days. He was given in charge of the sheriff until the papers were for appeal could be prepared or the fine paid. At 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon Geo. M. GRISWOLD who had been indicted for grand larceny, second degree was brought up and allowed to withdraw his plea of not guilty and plead guilty to petit larceny . Henry E. BARRETT, Esq., appeared as his counsel and spoke on his behalf. The sentence of the court was $50 or 50 days. He took the days. The next case moved was the indictment against W. H. BOUGHTON for violation of excise. He was not present and his bail was declared forfeited. Patrick MALONEY and B. F. BIRDSELL were his bondsman. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest and court was held open. BOUGHTON was found at his home in Newark Valley and a telegram received from him said that he was sick and he would send a substitute. Court was adjourned until 9 o'clock, Wednesday at which time BOUGHTON was brought in by an officer and his trial upon an indictment for violation of the excise was moved. The evidence was finished before 11 o'clock and the case was given to the jury before adjournment. The jury did not agree upon a verdict until 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At that time they rendered a verdict of guilty. The district attorney stated that this was the last matter to be considered and therefore asked that sentence be passed at once. The court sentenced the defendant to pay a $75 fine or be committed to the county jail for not less then 75 days. The fine was paid this afternoon. Court adjourned yesterday until June 29 at the chambers of the county judge. Bill Grummons [email protected]

Hello all: I have just finished putting my Notes on Cazenovia Clock Makers on my web pages. This may be of interest to many on the region for although it does not include much genealogy, there are many churches throughout Central New York that still today contain Cazenovia-made clocks. What I have are just the raw notes, without any synthesis, so have fun reading and figuring out the history for yourself! If you know of any other clocks or clock makers please let me know!

THE OWEGO, RECORD SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT. A YOUNG MAN LOSSES HIS LIFE WHILE BATHING NEAR WAVERLY. Waverly, NY, Aug 21. The "Scannon Hole," a deep place in the Susquehanna river near Barton village, about four miles east of Waverly, was the scene of a very sad affair this forenoon. Murray H. DAMON, a young man of this village, a grandson of the widely known hotel man, J. O. REZEAU, with a few friends were spending the day there and about 10 o'clock DAMON and George HALL were out in a boat in bathing suits, when DAMON, calling to his mother to "see how deep the water was there." sprang from the boat and at once sank. Coming to the surface a moment later he cried for help, but HALL who was in the boat, was powerless to assist him as he could not swim, and they had left shore with no oars in the boat. DAMON came to the surface twice, each time crying for assistance, but none could reach him and his horrified friends witnessed his struggles for a moment, themselves powerless to aid him and then the waters closed over him. Expert swimmers and divers have worked all day but as yet has failed to find the body. The water at that point is said to be about fifteen feet deep. Mr. DAMON was about twenty-two years of age and was engaged to be married to a young woman of this place. His father, E. FRANK DAMON, who is in business in Newark, . . . (rest was cut off.) ITALIANS IN JUSTICE GLEZEN' S COURT. Gioseppe PIACIMALLO was arrested Friday night by Officer John DENSMORE on a peace warrant which charged him with assaulting Valendin DESANDRI with a shovel at Apalachin on or about the 15 day of August. He pleaded not guilty and the case was adjourned until Monday, when E. E. FREDEDBURG, Esq., appeared for the defendant and James T. ROGERS, Esq., for the people. The case was again adjourned, this time until Wednesday at 10 a. m. when a jury found him guilty and he was fined $15, which he paid.. POLICE POINTERS, VAGRANTS and ALLEGED THIEF IN CUSTODY - SOME DISCHARGED - SOME SENTENCED and OTHERS to be TRIED. A Montrose young man came to town Monday got drunk, spent his available surplus wealth and began soliciting funds from the public. He was arrested on a charge of vagrancy, but was discharged and departed for home or some more hospitable climes. Monday evening two canvassers , who made themselves unpleasantly numerous to residence on Front street, were arrested and next morning were sentenced each to ten days in jail. They gave their names at first as William and Anna WILLIAMS, but later on she said that she was a widow and that her partner was MILLER. She gave Binghamton as her home and he denied having a home. Pat CAIN borrowed a pick-ax of Frank HIGBY, a teamster residing on John R. street some days ago when he began work at the Clark law building. In due course of time HIGBY requested the return of the tool, but was told by CAIN to get it. After one or two vain attempts to follow Pat's advice he had that worthy arrested on the charge of petit larceny. The defendant pleaded not guilty and the trial was set down for 10 a. m. Wednesday at which time he was acquitted and discharged. PERSONAL. Charles STORRS went to Ithaca Tuesday o prepare to enter Cornell university.

November 1, 2002 Dear Flakes, I am trying to find information about PHEBE and JOSEPH JOHNSON, 1840 census data places them in Catlin Township. They were my gggrandparents. PHEBE was the mother of JULIA JOHNSON (1840-1923) who married LAFAYETTE ELLIOTT (1824-1893). LAFAYETTE’S obituary states that he was "married to Miss Julia Johnson, of Millport, N.Y., JULY 17th, 1859." I would really like to locate that wedding certificate. It is not clear that the wedding was at either Millport or in Catlin Township. 1860 Census data places the JULIA and LAFAYETTE in Southport … so the wedding most probably was somewhere in Chemung. Are wedding records for Chemung and other NY Counties held by New York State ? At Albany ? Elsewhere ? Any help provided will be greatly appreciated, Thank you, Ted Gibson Farmington, MI

There is an Eighmey Buick dealership in Troy PA, phone number (570) 297-2148. The head guy there is Veril Eighmey, a very fine gentleman up in his 80's. He still goes to work every day. I live just north of the PA - NY border in the Elmira NY area, and have done business with Veril. At his age, he should be able to go back a few years with family history. Good luck. Bill

CORBIN and P. C. PETERSON for several copies of Henry DRUMMOND'S latest works and to M. H. THOMAS for the New York Weekly Witness. The men's meeting at the Y. M. C. A. rooms at 4:00 o'clock Sunday was addressed by Rev. L. B. LANGFORD and the association orchestra furnished the music. A good atlas is very much needed. If you haven't one to present to the association, perhaps you know of someone that would be glad to make such a donation if they knew of the want. Dana CONKLIN, general secretary at Oneonta, and Rev. Ethan CURTIS of Syracuse were pleasant callers at the rooms last week. Mr. CURTIS delivered the address at the Sunday school convention Friday evening. ORNITHOLOGICAL MUSEUM. T. F. MOORE, the veteran carriage and wagon manufacturer, has in the little show room in front of his factory on North avenue, a fine display of mounted birds, which attract the attention of all who see them.

The bittern which was shot at Big island, ( not Hiawatha island) and a handsome peacock, which, when shot was six years old. and the most beautiful bird of it's kind ever seen in Owego. WANTS TO LEAVE THE COUNTY. The Spencer Needle vigorously advocates that the town of Spencer be allowed to remove itself from Tioga county and become a part of either Tompkins or Chemung county. If this could not be brought about the Needle modestly suggests that adjoining portions of Tompkins, Tioga and Chemung counties be set off into a new county, with Spencer, of course, the county-seat. all of which would of course be very nice - for Spencer. Dr. Katonka CARY is at Kingston, PA. Will he start a sanitarium there? The superintendents of the poor hired Isaac WEMPLE and his wife yesterday to assist at the asylum. Editor NIXON of the Chemung Valley Reporter is to be congratulated upon a successful operation to remove a tumor from his eye. The Susquehanna Transcript imparts the startling information that "the railroad tracks at Owego were covered two feet deep with water Monday night." The articles going the rounds and headed "To Save Fish" do not refer to the game laws but to an effort to get ex-Banker FISH out of prison. Justice of the peace O. B. GLEZEN has the trial this afternoon of Henry WOOD for non-support of his wife Jane. S. S. WALLIS, Esq., for complainant and B. W. LORING, Esq., for defendant. A sharper visited Elmira and tried to get a check cashed on the strength of a forged letter purporting to come from the New York firm of W. N. STEMKOPF. He may visit this place so watch out for him. Messrs. ECKERT and GEER, stenographers, have just completed typewriting out their notes taken in the WINTERS case, before Hon. A. P. EATON. It contained about 200 folios, of which three copies were made. C. G. MERRILL, the D., L. & W. freight agent at Binghamton for the past eighteen years, died suddenly Thursday of pneumonia. Traveling auditor BRIDGEMAN of that road acted as agent until a new agent was chosen. An Eastman heater car, loaded with potatoes, shipped by J. B. WINTERS from Richford last week was burned on the Lehigh near Pittson a day or two ago and he has been notified to send in his claim for damage to the company John HIGGINS who was struck by a locomotive in the West Susquehanna yard Tuesday, died from his injuries at the residence of his son yesterday afternoon. - Hornellsville Press.

Hello, I just learned that I'm related to a WYATT family of Geneva, NY. I'm also related to Mrs. Nora (WYATT) LOCKE (b. 1878 d. 1967) of Odessa, NY and Penn Yan, NY. And also related to Clarence O. WYATT (b. abt 1885) and Joseph WYATT (b. abt 1889) of Alfred, NY. (I think they all grew up in Geneva, NY.) And I'm also related to Mrs. Edna BRINK of Corning, NY, b. 1903. Would love to compare notes if you recognize these names. Linda Zurbrick O'Halloran http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyschuyl/
