hi Gail, I think maybe you are referring to the Genesee County People book? the one that Sue Conklin is doing? if so--you'd have to ask her, I have nothing to do with that project, and I don't have any info about it, either. Contact her at the Historian Center in Batavia.

Local Record. The commissioners who are to locate the new Refuge for women meet to-day (Thursday) in Attica to look over that town, and in the afternoon they will drive over to Corfu to inspect its advantages as a location. We hear that the Corfu people have raised $500 toward securing the Refuge. Going Into Camp. On Monday next the following young ladies will go to Horseshoe lake to camp out and spend the week under the shadow of the trees and on the water. The Misses Maud Pringle, Grace Cox, Helen Bull, Lottie and Myrtle Thomson and Cora Radley. The party will be chaperoned by Mrs._. Leavenworth. Quick Work. On Tuesday J.C. Shults and B. Schad, of the Schad Wheel Co., went to Avoca to locate the wheel factory. Between the rising and the going down of the sun on that day Mr. Shults purchased three acres of land, had it surveyed, let the contract for the building, staked it out, broke ground and entered into an agreement with the Erie railroad company to put in a switch in 48 hours. The building and land is to cost $18,000. Careless Driving. On Saturday night while two village delivery boys were racing their horses on E. Main street one of the rigs collided with a horse being driven by Wm. Green, of Roanoke. The force of the collision ran the shaft of the delivery wagon into the breast of Mr. Green's horse nearly six inches. Mr. Green was on his way to his father-in-law's, Mr. Horn's, on a visit, when the accident occurred. He continued on his journey and on Sunday went back, as best he could, to his home in Roanoke. It is thought that the beast will die. It is in the power of our merchants to stop this racing and careless driving of their delivery boys. ~ Stiles' Show Window. Our old townsman and druggist, N.W. Stiles, now in Boston, is alive, as will be seen by the following, clipped from a Boston paper: "A display recently made in the window of Mr. N.W.Stiles' store on Boylston street attracted much attention. It included a pewter spoon, used by a Salem witch for her last meal before she suffered the death penalty for witchcraft; a candlestick, brought from England by the Quincys a hundred years ago; a Bible, carried by General Warren on Bunker Hill; an Indian bow, said to be more than 250 years old; a rifle, taken from the British and used by Daniel Webster for hunting; and a cradle in which Rufus Choate was rocked." ~ Local Death Record. McDonnell. Nicholas McDonnell died on Sunday at his home on State street in the 23d year of his age. His disease was consumption. The funeral was held Tuesday morning. Holbrook. Mrs. _.C. Holbrook died on Sunday at her home on then Byron road, aged 64 years.The deceased was the daughter of the late Nathan Warner, and was the youngest of six children. She leaves three brothers who live in Whitewater, Wis., and one sister, Mrs. Levi O. Campbell, of this town. The funeral was held on Wednesday. ~ Takes Her Own Life. A correspondent writes as follows: "Mrs. Emeline Richardson, wife of Henry Richardson of Linden, ended her life by hanging herself on Friday morning. On Thursday evening, together with her son, Himer, she went over to her father-in-law's Dr. Wm. Richardson's, near by, to stay all night, and retired early. About six o'clock in the morning her son went to her room to see if she was all right, and then discovered that she was gone. He immediately went in search of her and went to the next house, owned by Wm. Perry, but now vacant, and searched the lower rooms. Discovering no trace of her he went out but after a short time returned and again searched the house. Upon going upstairs and entering the garret he was terribly startled by the sight of his mother hanging from a rafter. She was dead and her body was nearly cold. She had gained an entrance to the building through the cellar, and had gone to the attic and got up in a chair, tied the rope around a rafter and her neck, and kicked the chair from beneath ! her. The deceased was 43 years old, and for the past six or eight months had been subject to fits of insanity more or less severe. On Thursday, her family physician had been to see her, and the family had made arrangements to have her taken to the Buffalo Insane Asylum on Saturday." ~ Source: ~Progressive Batavian, July 25-1890 submitted by Linda Web-Page Editor BETHANY: Its Past and Present ~ http://www.arkwebshost.com/family/bluebird/TownOfBethany.shtml Contributor for the BUFFALO and Western NYS Website: www.buffalonian.com ~ History Through Newspapers

North Alexander.-- Mr. Editor: We are to have a cheese factory here. The ground is already broken for the building and the "big well" dug. Mr. Hawley, of Hermitage, Wyoming Co., is proprietor. E.M. Crossman has just received an addition to his stock of choice fowls. The new comers are Black Africans and Black Spanish, reported to be prolific layers. ~ Alexander.--Another China wedding was celebrated here last week Wednesday evening, the 9th inst. The friends of Henry Irwin and lady, knowing that they had been married 20 years, planned a surprise for them in the shape of a call and a present of a very nice China tea-set. The company met at Mr. Heintz's Hotel at 7:30 P.M., numbering upwards of 80 persons, and each had a basket well filled with provisions to make glad the inner man. From the hotel the company marched en masse to the house of Mr. Irwin and walked right in, without knocking, and they kept walking right in, until they filled about all the standing room in the house. It was a complete surprise, for they had not heard a lisp of it. For once Hank had nothing to say, but he soon rallied and cracked as many jokes as usual. About half-past nine P.M. supper was served, and of course it was good, for we took it ourselves. After the supper the presentation of the China tea-set was next in order. Mr. Albert! Rowe did the honors and Rev. Dr. Hunt responded in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Irwin. That being over Mr. Stanley presented the couple with a wooden whistle (costing 3 cts), and accompanied it with a burlesque speech, which caused a great deal of fun, after which he sung a song. A good time was then had until about midnight, when the party broke up, all feeling that it was good to have been there.

Particulars of the Loss of the Steamer May Flower. ~From the Buffalo Express.~ We received last evening by mail from Girard, Pa., the following particulars form Capt. Van Allen of the loss of his splendid Steamer. LAST TRIP OF STEAMBOAT MAY FLOWER. We left Detroit for Buffalo, via Cleveland o the night of the 13th inst., at 11 o'clock. Wind west, severely cold, thermometer 12 above zero, with 160 tons freight on deck. Arrived at Cleveland at 7A.M., wind S.W., snowing. Took on fuel and left for Buffalo at 11 A.M. Snow continued heavy all day, and until 12 o'clock Sunday night, when it cleared away. Made Buffalo light dead ahead, about five miles off--this being the first object we had seen during the thirteen hours out. Arrived safely, discharged our freight, and took on coal with all dispatch possible, with a view of returning immediately, without any regard to passengers or freight. In the early part of the evening of Monday, received a telegraph despatch from Mr. Books to say we must hurry home, for it was doubtful even then whether we could get up the river. Sailed at 10 o'clock P.M., wind W.N.W., with all the appearance of its hauling more northerly, calculating to have rather a smooth passage up the nor! thern shore--but extremely cold. Two hours out, wind backed around W.S.W., with heavy squalls of snow; wind, sea and snow increasing; laboring and making ice rapidly on our deck. We bore up for Buffalo after being three and a half hours out; we stood on this length of time, intending to have daylight to make a port. We ran off before the wind four hours, judging in that time to have made about the same distance. Daylight came, but no cessation of the storm. Not knowing our position, we were more likely to go on shore than any other place; consequently 'bout ship, and stood up the lake; storm increasing. In about two hours we parted our rudder chains, and the vessel fell off in the troughs of the sea, which made a clean breach through our gangways, carrying with it what little was in the way. In this position we lay two hours, endeavoring to repair. At last, succeeded in finding blocks and lines to reeve through them. Secured the tiller with a tackle, from each quar! ter; had to work them with six men, three to each. In this way brought her head to wind; very soon after got better chains and repaired. The tackle was still used to relieve the strain in the tiller chains. The men at the tackle and the wheels had to be relieved every twenty minutes; but cold as it was, that man of Iron, my first mate, stood thirteen hours, being only twice relieved; 2d mate attending to other duties quite as important, and equally exposed. During the time occupied in repairing, the storm broke away for a moment, as if to warn us of our perilous situation. Land ahead! Close into the breakers, was called out by the 2d mate. Without thinking of other consequences than the loss of my beautiful vessel, I backed off easily, taking every *** over our taffrail: men standing aft holding on to the fall of each tackle, up to their middle in water; brought head to wind and stood up the lake. Very soon after this our starboard hog-chains forward parted: this, ! of course, weakened our vessel, which began to work her upper cabin on that side very much. Storm increasing; vessel laboring heavily: the braces to our starboard chimney gave way, and the chimney went adrift. We were now in danger of fire, but we managed to extinguish the fire in the starboard furnace, and we were now left with the one chimney and half steam. The attempt to stem the elements with half steam was doubtful, and we attempted to wear ship--in the mean time getting up all the steam we could, for this was our only dependence, for the little head sail we had was covered by this time with six inches of ice. We fell off in the troughs of the sea and could make no headway. We made three attempts during Tuesday the 16th, but gave it up. Our only object was to keep her head to wind and sea. With the steam we made we were able to keep steerage way on, and her head to the sea. The wind backing round to the southward, we crawled over towards the south shore, hoping to make a lee when we reached there. We smoothed our water, about 7 o'clock. Tuesday evening, and hauled off, steering west to keep clear of the land--(satisfied ourselves since that we were under Erie Peninsula.) Stood to sea 30 minutes, then hauled up southwest; expecting soon again to smooth our water. We expected to keep her off sufficient to clear the land. In this calculation we were unfortunate for the sea was running more from the westward than we had supposed, consequently in our great anxiety to reach the furtherest point up the lake, with the fact we had hugged the shore to get smooth water and save ourselves in case any further accident happened to our vessel, for at that time she had all the ice on she was able to carry--both log chains gone forward, every seam in her main deck, was working the oakum out, and the upper cabbin weaving forward and aft 28 or 20 inches and falling to pieces. In this condition we went ashore about 18 miles above Erie, at 10 o'clock Tuesday night 16th inst., Thermometer ranging from 8 to 10 degrees below zero. Weather thick all day with snow and dense fog so that one could not see 30 feet. When we went ashore our bow was within 150 feet of land but we could not see it. We waited patiently for day light, and when it came it was apparent that if the sea continued our beautiful May Flower would be a total loss. By 9 o'clock by ringing our bell we had brought some of the inhabitants to our assistance--meanwhile we had made three attempts to run a line to the shore and failed, by which we lost our first boat, and after attempting with the second were compelled to hoist it on board to save our men.--Several persons had collected on shore and a young man threw a stone with a twine attached on board. Attached to the twine we sent a small heaving line ashore and to that a large one which was secured to a tree and the slack hauled on board. When this was accomplished, our third boat, a large one, was to be cleared away and lowered. This boat was on the weather side, and had to be got on the lee side. To do this we cut away two state rooms on each side and hauled her across the cabin. Before putting her in the water, passed the painter over the line which ran to the shore and back to the ring bolt, made a line fast at the same place to be used on shore and another on land to haul her backward and forward. In this manner the boat was kept head to the sea. Notwithstanding all this care a large boat capable of carrying 50 persons in ordinary weather, was nearly filled three or four times. By 8 o'clock P.M., we had all on shore safe, though many were frozen. Those frozen were Captain, feet, ear and hands slightly--Mate feet and face--Second Mate both hands badly--one wheelsman hands slightly--and three fishermen slightly. One wheelsman considerably injured by being thrown over the wheel. The crew all behaved and did their duty like men, except two deck hands, Irishmen, who skulked and hid in the coal bunkers until the vessel struck. H.

Our Village. Batavia, from its geographical position, being in the centre of a rich agricultural country, and directly on the great overland "Highway of Nations," has always been regarded as a beautiful Village, and one of more historical eminence than any other in the interior of the State. Here, the Holland Land Company which so long held sway over all this region, established its seat of Empire, and here was kindled "the Anti Masonic excitement," which overran the nation, and for a time influenced its political destinies. In the early settlement of the country, Batavia took the lead among the prominent places of the West, until Buffalo and Rochester sprang up, with the Great Lakes and Genesee River to back their pretensions, and soon left it in the background. Our Village has nevertheless continued unostentatiously to advance, and still claims to be one of the gems in the coronet of the Empire State. Last season several important improvements were made here, and this spring a fresh spirit is manifested in the way of modernizing and embellishing Stores, Shops, and other places of business. In other words they are being dressed up preparatory to receiving calls from the world at large, which is soon expected to pass through this great point of centralization, on three railroads. Without noticing in detail the various improvements already made, and about to be commenced, we will say that Batavia can now boast of as splendid stores, internally, if not externally, as can be found in any place of its size in the country, and three others are about to be erected still more elegant. There is one serious drawback, however, upon the beauty of Main street, and that is, the BOARD SHEDS, in fashionable parlance called awnings, an almost continuous string of which, extends along the north side of its central portion. To be sure they are considered very comfortable and convenient, especially in sunshine and storms, also for storage of all sorts of Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, and an excellent place for loungers. Moreover, Pedestrians occasionally derive some protection under their shade, if perchance they can thread their way through the narrow defile on what was originally intended as a sidewalk. So far, therefore, as Front sheds are concerned, we defy the world to compare with Batavia, but in order to render that style of architure[sic] more complete in all its parts, we suggest the addition of Hay Racks, and Feeding Troughs. Those appendages would not only tend to perfect that species of improvement, but would be found exceedingly convenient for people with teams from the country, especially, as there are no other open sheds in the village to which they can drive and feed. There is one other fashion prevailing here to some extent, of a similar character in the line of beauty, to the above, and that is, the erection of Signs across the side-walks, to aid bewildered customers in finding the right place. In this custom we bid fair soon to equal Schenectady, which we believe has borne the palm in that particular. But not withstanding these unsightly excrescences, Batavia is decidedly looking up, and this will more fully appear when the embellishments around the Park, now in progress, together with the various other improvements to be made this season in different parts of the village, are completed. ~ Spirit of the Times, August 18-1852 contributed by Linda, Web-Page Editor for Bethany Town Page: BETHANY: Its Past and Present http://www.arkwebshost.com/family/bluebird/TownOfBethany.shtml ~and~ Contributor for the BUFFALO and Western NYS Website: www.buffalonian.com ~ History Through Newspapers
