1785--1950. To answer a possible misconception of what these journal are---they consist of pictures and news articles taken from newspapers, and family photographs Jim collected from area residents. A mostly pictorial history of the town through all those years. A tremendous piece of work. Each book has an index, by year, of the pictures/articles for that year. chas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tink Miller" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 2:25 AM Subject: Re: [NYMADISO] questions about journals > > What years do they cover? > Tink > > At 11:03 PM 4/21/08, you wrote: >>Has anyone indexed these? --Pam B. >> >>----- Original Message ----- >>From: "Charles Page" <[email protected]> >> >> >> >I bought the Jim Ford journals at the Madison Gift Shoppe in the >> >village. >> >The shoppe is owned by the town of Madison Historian, Susan Haggerty. >> >[email protected] >> > The journals are $25 each or $90 for the set.

Thanks Tink for your great help. Two of the e-mail's like the one I am replying on that you sent me were blank but the others came through just fine. I will be definitely checking these out to see what wonderful information I can find. Right now we are getting our small town newspaper ready to put to bed so to speak. This whole month, ever since we put to bed last months paper we have had computer problems. Never try to work on a computer or any problem for that matter, after midnight. For some reason ones brain fails to function properly and that is what happened to my husband and we lost all our info that hadn't been backed up since Nov. that included all our business records and taxes plus the format for the paper. It is a long story and I won't bore you with the details. But I will say this we will be at least a week late in getting out our little "sheet". Thank heavens, we don't have a weekly like my grandparents and father had starting back in 1899 up to 1952. If you would like a copy of our little paper please send me your snail mail address and we will be glad to send it to you. Thanks again for your great help. It was good to hear from you.

Joan, Here's some census data on Deloss/Delos Sweet. There are two guys here - I think the one listed first here on 1910 census is probably the right one, but I think the age given is wrong. I think he was born in 1850, as you will see in the info listed for 1880 and 1860 census. I think it's the same guy. The other guy in the second entry for 1910 and then for 1900 census is living with his mother, also named Olive. Odd coincidence. Two entries for 1910 census, both enumerated on the same day - 21 April, 1910. 1910 census - Brookfield, Madison, New York Deloss Sweet, 66 (I think this may be wrong; should be 60), Married 3 (3rd marriage?), married 6 years, Head of house, Birthplace: New York, father & mother born in NY, farm laborer, working for himself, cannot read or write, owns the home. Olive, wife, 75, Married 3 (3rd marriage?), married 6 yrs, has 6 children/3 living, she & parents born in NY, not working, reads & writes, Mary McDermott, 62, hired girl, single, she & parents born in NY, reads & writes. Also on 1910 census - Philiadelphia Township, Jefferson Co, NY. (different person, probably not right one.) Sweet, Delos, Head, 56, married 3, 20 yrs, farmer, dairy farm, born NY, parents born NY, out of work 10 weeks, can read & write, owns farm, no mortgage. Sweet, Olive A., mother, 79, widow, has had 5 children, 3 living, she & parents born in NY, can read & write. Wager, Estella V., boarder, 40, widow, had 2 children, 1 living; she & parents born in NY, hired woman for dairy farm, can read and write. Wager, Ida, boarder, 24, single, she & parents born in NY, not working. 1900 census: Philiadelphia Township, Jefferson Co, NY. Sweet, Delos, Head, born Sept 1853, 46, single, farmer, dairy farm, born NY, parents born NY, can read & write, owns farm, no mortgage. Sweet, Olive A., mother, born Mar 1831, 69, widow, has had 5 children, 3 living, she & father born in NY, mother born Vermont (note 1910 census said NY) ; can read & write. 1880 census: Leonardsville, Brooksfield, Madison Co. Hardin, Eliza B ., head, 73, keeping house Wheeler, John, 54, son-in-law, bank cashier. Wheeler, Rebecca E.H., 45, daughter, keeping house Wheeler, Charles D, 21, grandson, teller Wheeler, John S., 16, grandson, at school Wheeler, Lynn B., 10, grandson, at school Wheeler, Fannie A., 21, granddaughter, at home Sweet, Deloss, 30, laborer, cannot read or write. He & parents born in NY. Crandall, Lilly, 19, female, servant. 1860 census: Richfield Springs, Otsego, New York - all in family born in NY. Sweet, John, 35, laborer Sweet, Abby 34, cannot read or write. Sweet, Randall, 12 Sweet, Delos, 10 Sweet, Leonard, 8 Sweet, Ellen, 6 Sweet, Alonzo, 2/12 Hope this gives you some leads to research.

Chas Chas, Your note reminded me of two things - - first the big circular 4 foot diameter saw blade in my back yard. I believe it was from my grandfather's saw mill. There were old tracks with what one would think was a carriage of some sort that logs would sit on as they were wheeled up to the saw. I don't believe any of the track survived except for a 4 foot rail, which is heavy with a capital H. There are some of the old wheels / axles in the woods across from my parents house but way too heavy without a tractor to move. - secondly, things that youngins would not know about, including my spell checker and that was be - a run of buhrs. Tim

One of my older brothers had an unfortunate experience while sharpening fence posts back about 1945. He was a teenager, and didn't follow the rules when the buzz saw jammed. (Shut off the power!!! -- a tractor at the time). As a result, he lost parts of three fingers on his left hand. -- Jim ************************************************** In a message dated 4/21/2008 11:10:23 A.M.

HI listers I have 4 Religious Books that I would dearly love to return to their families. They were purchased a few years back at a garage sale as we liked old Bibles and etc. Now I would like to see that they 'go home'. If you have or know any of these names and would like them, please let me know. Or maybe even a Historical Society in that area. Please contact me if these books are of interest to you.....

We didn't have a buzz saw. Ours was a "cross cut" saw!

Mary Jane, I had never given it a thought that buzz saws were not common knowledge. Of course, now I realize that many younger people never saw one. you said, they were sort of a big table saw made for sawing , primarily, limb wood. Usually it worked best if you had gathered up a big pile of limbs and then got together a crew of three or more men to buzz it up in a short time. One man would do the sawing, that is roll the table with the limb/limbs into the blade letting the short length fall to the ground. In avoiding that, one man would take hold of the cut pieces and throw them away ten or fifteen feet away from the saw, creating a big pile that didn't interfere with more sawing. As the sawyer moved the limbs forward several other men would be carrying more limbs, as many as could be handled readily, put them on the table to keep the sawyer busy with a continuous flow of wood to saw. A whole winter's supply of wood could be cut in one day. One farmer usually owned the saw and neighbors would all come to help when they had accumulated their own buzz piles, then switch around from farm to farm. I will have more to say about my personal experience with them in a later note. Chas
