Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State Monday, April 11-1881 The Emigrant Boom. Thirteen car loads of emigrants passed through Batavia yesterday, on the Central road en route for the west. The emigrants were mostly from Germany, although a few were from Norway and Sweden. They filled the Central cars to overflowing, their luggage, consisting of boxes, bags, bundles, kitchen utensils, etc., was mostly strapped upon the backs of the men. One woman had eight small children with her, each of whom lugged a large bundle, except the baby in its mother's arms. She was German, and was going to meet her husband, who had already emigrated to the west. The prospects are that this heavy emigration of foreigners will continue for some time to come. The transportation rates across the ocean are cheaper than before in years, and it would appear that the poor of the old country are taking advantage of this opportunity to emigrate to the land of the really free and truly brave. + A Central Brakeman Hurt. Between 11 and 12 o'clock last night, a brakeman named Van ANBURG, had one of his hands pretty badly smashed while coupling cars east of the depot. He went to the National hotel, and Dr. POTTER was called to dress the wound. Van ANBURG left for home in East Syracuse this morning. + A Bad Boy. Charley SEIFERT, a lad about sixteen years of age, applied to the house of Chris. PASEL, a farmer residing east of the village, about four weeks ago, and stated that he was out of employment and desired to get a place. Mr. PASEL took him and considering him an honest sort of a fellow told him that he could remain. About two weeks ago SEIFERT left his employer, taking with him a pair of boots, a scarf worth $2.50 and several articles of wearing apparel. Mr. PASEL after learning that the boy had left him for good, hunted him up and this morning he was up before Justice JOHNSON. SEIFERT says his father is a painter and lives in Rochester, he is an eccentric acting urchin, and not overstocked with brightness. Justice JOHNSON gave him a sound lecture, and told him if he would go back and stay with Mr. PASEL, he would let him go. Mr. PASEL seemed willing to take the boy back and he was discharged. + East Pembroke Locals. Rumor says there is a marriage approaching. Who knows? Miss Alat CONKLIN of South Batavia is to teach in district No. 9. Oliver UPHILL, Willis GOWING, Louis C. CASE are on the sick list. Mrs. WEAVER of Bushville, will occupy the pulpit at the Baptist church next Sunday. Edwin DURHAM left for South Bend, Indiana, last week. He has business with the plow works of that city. Mrs. Seth KNAPP of Pembroke moved into Mrs. PARDEE's house last week. He is to work her farm this summer. Rev. J. Wesley Le SEUR left for Fort Edward last week. We understand he is to have a vacation of two weeks. The exhibition given by the students of Rural Seminary passed off pleasantly. The pupils all did very well. The boys are thinking of organizing a base ball club here this season. We will see some of the boys of this place trying to move the railroad track with their heads if they don't stop jumping off the train as it leaves this place. We are soon to have a dramatic entertainment, given by the young people of this place. They have selected one or two very fine dramas, and will probably render them nicely, as they are all old hands at that business. The proceeds will go to buy some scenery for the seminary. Citizens! why do you build two new school houses in this place when with half the money you can repair the seminary; make a union school of it, increase the value of your property and educate your children with far less expense than you do now? Quite a serious accident came near happening in this place Saturday. It seems that Charles TORRENCE, Dell. FORWARD and Elmer COOK had some straw to cut. They had a cutting machine, but being too weak to turn it, they thought they would try an experiment. Accordingly they got a horse power, a team and belt and set the thing a running. Well, it had run about two minutes when the boys were surprised to see material enough flying in the air to construct, as they thought, a dozen machines. Elmer was the only one injured. A piece struck him in the arm and another in the breast. Drs. BATES and PARMELEE were called and pronounced the injuries not fatal. Boys, listen to Chan. next time. + Dailey's Furniture Rooms! 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 State St., Batavia, N.Y., Greeting!

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State Friday Evening, September 14-1888 Price One Cent. Fire in the Country This Noon. Shortly before noon to-day a small tenement house on the farm of J.J. GALLUP, about four miles out of town on the Alexander road, burned to the ground with nearly all its contents. It was occupied by a German named 'Gus HOLMAN, his wife and two little children. HOLMAN and his wife went out to work this morning and locked the two children in the house. The fire was discovered by men working near, and they immediately thought of the children and rushed to the house and forced an entrance. They found the little ones sitting under a table. The flames were rapidly approaching them. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as HOLMAN says there were no matches or fire in the house when he and his wife left in the morning. + Presentation at South Alabama. Wilbur C. POND and family leave to-night for Climax, Kalamazoo county, Michigan, where they expect to live hereafter. At the Baptist church Wednesday evening they were given a farewell visit and were presented with a handsome water pitcher by their friends. The presentation speech was made by James GORTON, who regretted the departure of Mr. POND and hoped for the success of himself and family in their new home. Mr. POND briefly responded. He has for several years been organist of the church.--Elder HART, a former pastor here, has been visiting old friends in this community. + Is Mrs. PICKETT Insane? An examination into the mental condition of Mrs. PICKETT of this village is to be made with the idea of having her incarcerated in the Buffalo Insane Asylum if it is found that she has lost her reason. Mrs. PICKETT is the woman to whom reference was made in The News of September 4th, as having been found at night in the cellar of F.H. SAUNDER's house on Harvester avenue. The inquiry as to her condition was to have taken place before Judge PECK to-day, but the doctors were not ready to make their report, and it was postponed until next Thursday. + Last Day at the Attica Fair. The attendance was small all day at the Attica Fair yesterday, and the exhibition was not more of a success financially than it was otherwise. There were not enough horses entered to start in several of the races and those who participated were obliged to make "blind" entrances in order that the races might come off. The last heats of running race and the road-wagon race, which were postponed from the day before, were won by Dr. LEFLER's running horse "Johnnie B" and his pacing stallion "Willink." The free-for-all race awakened considerable interest and C.J. HAMLIN's "Globe" was the favorite with the betting men. The race was won, however by "Sarah B," a mare owned by Rochester parties. "Globe" secured third money. In the three minute race a horse owned by William SIMPSON of Rochester was the winner. There were only two entries in the pacing race--Dr. LEFLER's "Willink," and "Jumbo," a big horse owned by FISHER & BENNETT of Corfu. "Jumbo" won the race. One reason why the Attica Fair was not a success, observers say, was because no beer was sold on the ground. + An Oakfield Man's Rib Cracked. Two Oakfield men named LANSEAR and DUNN came to Batavia yesterday driving an old horse which was nearly dead, and it is said, misused it terribly. In the afternoon they were circling around and going through various maneuvers on West Main street in front of Dr. SUTTERBY's infirmary when, in turning short, one of the wheels of their vehicle was taken off and they were both spilled on the ground. Both were considerably bruised, and one of DUNN's ribs was cracked. + Indian Lands and Annuities. Assemblyman WHIPPLE's Legislative Committee investigating the condition of the New York State Indians is now in session in Buffalo, Daniel SHERMAN of Forestville, Indian Agent for New York from 1869 to 1881, was an interesting witness. Having reference to the lands and annuities of the Indians he said, as reported in the Buffalo 'Express': "The Indians sold all lands in Western New York except eleven reservations viz.: Cattaraugus, Allegany, Buffalo Creek, Tonawanda, Oil Spring, Conewango, Big Tree, Little Beard, Squakle Hill, Gordeau and Kaownadeau---the last six on the Genesee river, containing 337 square miles. The Senecas receive annuities amounting to 5 per cent, on $100,000 held in trust by the Treasurer of the United States. Oil Spring was not included in the treaty as made or published. It was agreed it should be. The Holland Land Company purchased this large tract of land under this treaty. A survey and map was made in 1801, which recognized the Indian title to Oil Spring Reservation. CHAMBERLAIN and others took title to those lands and Oil Spring came through the Holland Land Company. They divided Oil Spring into four equal parts, and sold part to Gov. SEYMOUR; the part containing Oil Spring to PATERSON. The latter cleared a farm, put up a house and barn, about the year 1856. Soon after my appointment I brought an action against PATERSON. It was tried before a jury with a verdict for the Indians. It went to the General Term and Court of Appeals and the judgment was affirmed. The Indians now hold it. I found a map of the Holland Company's purchase in possession of Black Snake at Coldspring on the Allegany Reservation. Black Snake was then 113 years old. I took his evidence before Judge LAMB. The map was found in a small trunk covered with deerskin under Black Snake's bed. The trunk is preserved as a relic. "There were sold to the Ogden Land Company the six reservations on Genesee River, also 33,400 acres of Tonawanda Reservation, 33,637 acres Buffalo Creek Reservation, one square mile in the town of Handover, Chautauqua county, and a mile strip on Cattaraugus Reservation in Erie county; in all, 87,526 acres for the sum of $48,216, or about 55 cents an acre. "The Senecas receive in all about $11,902 yearly from all their annuities, besides their annuity goods. The Senecas of the Tonawanda band receive in addition an annuity of 5 per cent on $859.50, amounting to about $43. 50. This is under their treaty of November 5,1857, with the United States and Ogden Land Company. By that treaty the Tonawanda Senecas extinguished the claim of the Ogden Land Company to the remaining portion or their lands on that reservation. They own them in fee, held in trust by the Comptroller of New York State. There are State annuities growing out of sale of lands in the Eastern part of the State, to the State. The State pays the St. Regis, Oneida, Cayugas and Onondagas. Last year it amounted to $2,430 and 150 bushels of salt. The Oneidas own their lands in fee." + Button's Raven Gloss Shoe Dressing.

Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State January 11-1892 A Long Death Record. The Rev. Timothy H. QUIGLEY, a retired Presbyterian minister, died at his home on Prospect avenue at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the 74th year of his age. On New Year's Day he preached the sermon at the funeral of John C. SCHWAB at Stafford, the interment being at East Bethany, and it is thought that the exposure at that time laid the foundation for the maladies that caused his death. He was confined to his bed only about three days, however, and died very suddenly. Heart disease, and the grip are ascribed as the causes of death. He leaves a widow and one son, Prof. L.J. QUIGLEY, who is in Kentucky and who was formerly Professor of Music at the State Institution for the Blind. The deceased was born in Northampton, Mass., and had lived in Western New York for a great many years, being in charge of different churches. His last regular charge was at Bethany, which he gave up about ten years ago and practically retired from active service in the pulpit, although he had frequently officiated since then, to fill vacancies. He moved to Batavia eight years ago. He was highly respected by his parishioners and friends, who will regret to learn of his death. The time for the funeral has not been fixed. + Albert H. KING. Albert H. KING, for many ears a well-known resident of Batavia, died at the home of his family, in Chili, on Saturday, aged 68 years. Mr. KING was born in Monroe county and was reared on a farm. He was for a long time engaged in handling grain and wool in that county and during the late war was an extensive dealer in oats, which he furnished to the Government. In 1876 Mr. KING and his son, Hiram A., bought the Fish malt house on Elm street in Batavia. Owing to reverses the business passed out of their hands in 1886, but Mr. KING remained in Batavia until the middle of May last, when he went to Tonawanda as a salesman of cement sidewalks. Several days ago he suffered an attack of pneumonia, following the grip. On Friday morning an attempt was made to remove him to Chili, where his family has always lived, but his condition was such that the plan was not carried out until Friday afternoon. He survived less than twenty-four hours after reaching Chili. Mr. KING was an earnest Republican. He represented Chili on the Board of Supervisors of Monroe county and was that county's representative on the Republican State Committee for a term of two. For five years he was a division superintendent and weighmaster on the Erie canal. The funeral will be held from the house in Chili to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. + Mr. and Mrs. Michael DAUBER. Attica.-The funeral services of Mr. and Mrs. Michael DAUBER took place at the house at 1:30 and at the German Lutheran church at 2 p.m. yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. DAUBER had lived with their son Michael on West avenue for about a year past. Before that they had lived on a farm about three miles south of Attica for over thirty years. Up to about three weeks ago both were well. Mr. DAUBER was 88 years old and Mrs. DAUBER 80, and when they were stricken with the grip Mrs. DAUBER died at 6 and her husband at 10 on Thursday morning. Out of a large family of children, only two boys survive. The Rev. Mr. HUBER officiated at the double funeral. + Mrs. Elizabeth PECK. Mrs. Elizabeth PECK, widow of Ashel PECK and one of the earliest settlers in Batavia, being almost a lifelong resident of this town, died yesterday at the County House in Bethany, whither she was taken on Tuesday, December 29th. Her age was about 91 years. Her husband was a wagon maker and for many years did business on State street. Previous to her removal to the County House she boarded with Mr. and Mrs. Samuel COOPER. She was the mother of Edward PECK of Batavia. The remains will be brought to Batavia tomorrow for interment. The funeral services will be held in the Methodist church. The time will be announced to-morrow. + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

I know this is not Genealogy related but I would like some information about a couple of people that have offered scholarships through Genesee Community College. The first one is: Alexander PAPP and the second one is: Patricia Ault Brady. I would like to know more about the people of whom the scholarship was named after as well as any information on the family of the scholarship. If anyone has any information on them, contact me personally, as I am a recipient of those scholarships and am planning on sending a personal Thank You to the families.

I think booting Wilfred, as one suggested, is a bit extreme just for an honest mistake. Wilfred has done more work for others in the realm of genealogy then most on the list could ever know. He is a member of our Genesee Area Genealogists. He answers many of the genealogy requests from those out of state that are mailed to GAG. In celebration of our county's 200th birthday, our organization was to find the founding families of the county. Wilfred was part of the committee that worked on this project for over 2 years, which is note books full of families, ancestors & descendants, which have been given to the county history dept. for others to use. He has contributed so much of his personal time to the genealogical history of our area, removing him from the list would be a slap in our county's face. If you ever get to Genesee Co, stop and look through these note books. The information was displayed at our county's birthday party along with a great map of the US that showed all the travel routes of how these founding families migrated to other states, to where existing families are today. The project was a wonderful contribution to genealogy as well as our county's history. -- Cindy Amrhein Town of Alabama Historian Genesee Co., NY ********************** Historian's Page - Alabama, NY http://www2.pcom.net/cinjod/historian/ Experience the town of Alabama in Genesee County, New York.

Merle, Did you actually READ that e-mail before you shouted for the "beheading" of the sender???? IF you DID read it, then you would have seen not one, not two, but THREE APOLOGIES in it, along with a "Good luck and let me know if you have any problems." Does that REALLY sound like someone who should be THROWN OFF THE LIST for HONESTLY trying to help others before their computers were infected by what he OBVIOUSLY BELIEVED was HIS infected computer? It seems to me that these viruses wouldn't have the power to do NEARLY as much damage as they do, if more people like Wil took the time to TRY and warn others whom they may have inadvertently infected. YES, THIS one WAS a hoax, but that e-mail to the list was SO OBVIOUSLY sent out of GENUINE concern for others, and NOT in an attempt to perpetuate the hoax!!

They were attended by Miss Bertha KILLIAN and Henry C. HOHN, brother of the groom. The bride wore her going-away gown of blue cloth and a hand-embroidered, chiffon waist. She carried sweet peas. The bridesmaid was gowned in pale pink crepe de chine and carried sweet peas. Breakfast was served after the ceremony. The rooms were trimmed with asparagus ferns, roses, carnations and sweet peas. The dining room had ropes of smilax from the chandelier to the table held by bows of pink chiffon, and the centerpiece was a large bouquet of pink carnations. The young couple left for an extended trip. On their return they will make their home with the bride's father. On account of the poor health of the bride's mother, Mrs. Franc SMITH, who is a relative of the bride, entertained the wedding party. The bride received presents of cut glass, china and money. (Note: These are my paternal grandparents. This is the only time I have seen the surname spelled HOHN. We always spelled it HAHN. All other records have the HAHN spelling. I do not know who Mrs. Franc SMITH, relative of the bride, is, possibly a BRAINARD.) On the same day, August 25, 1917 HAHN-KILLIAN. Darien, Aug. 28-Henry Charles HAHN and Miss Bertha Anna KILLIAN of Alexander were married on Saturday evening at the parsonage by the Rev. George W. RICHMIRE.

The interior of the dwelling presented a cheerful appearance, there being a profusion of potted plants and cut flowers. The bride of a quarter of a century was becoming attired in a gown after the fashion of that long-ago period, while the happy groom by her side looked as youthful as a lad in his teens.

Hello Everyone: I don't understand exactly why Linda has decided not to send her wonderful old newspaper articles to our list anymore. This list is the best and most active of all the lists to which I am subscribed. I only wish my own county's list was half as active as Genesee County's list. I only want to encourage everyone to maintain the high stand of excellence and high volume of mail that this list receives. Linda's old newspaper articles have provided so many finds of individuals in my family tree. It has been wonderful to see ancestors living their lives through these articles. Linda's absence from this list will decrease the excellence that the Genesee County List has maintained for so long. I have seen so many members of our list sending messages regarding Linda's decision not to send her wonderful articles anymore. I want to say Amen and encourage Linda to reconsider. In Christ, Ron Powell
