Any way I can email some memories of my grandparents farm and send some pictures of my grandparents farm? My grandfather delivered eggs thru the late 1960's and had a vegetable stand--the Will & Fan Cavanaugh farm just out of East Bethany toward Batavia. You went down a hill, the Genesee beer billboard on the left (my grandfathers field) and the farm on the right, before the road started up another hill. The house I remember as mostly painted yellow. The farm building way behind the house--one of the farm buildings was the original house on the property. They moved there from Akron Ohio in the mid-1940's. Grandma played organ at the Catholic church from for over 20 years. Grandpa was an usher at the Presbyterian Church (where I was baptized). -----Original Message----- From: Linda/Don [mailto:donlinda@mybizz.net] Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2003 8:30 AM To: NYGENESE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NYGENESE] Bethany History We are pleased to announce that we have set the date for our next meeting of the Bethany History Keepers ~ ~ 3:00 p.m. ~ Saturday, March 22nd, 2003 ~ ~ at the Carriage Village Mall ~ (next to the Genesee County Park, at the corner of Raymond Road and Bethany Center Road, in Bethany, N.Y.)
