Joslin Tannery: Employing about 25 men and tanning 40,000 sides of sole leather a years J Van Woert This tannery was built in 1849 by John R Williams of Troy NY It afterwards passed through the hands of various owners. It was rebuilt by Paige Burhans and Cyrus W. Pratt, the former owning three fourths of the interest. About 1852-53 Pratt bought out his partner. He afterwards sols a part to L R Lyon and for a time it was run by Snyder & Lyon. In January 1870 it was sold to Van Woert by whom it has since been run. The "Upper Tannery" so called on Fish Creek was built in the spring of 1849 by Cyrus W Pratt and has generally been run by the same owner. It is now given up. To distinguish it from the other it was called the "Brantingham Tannery" which will probably not long be able to get supplies of bark sufficient to make it profitable to continue. The Population of Greig Village by the Census of 1880 was 230
