Joan Additional Information. At www.watervilleny.com I searched the Waterville Times Obituaries for 2008 and 2009. The only Tanner listed was a Charles H. Tanner 80 at the Harding Nursing Home. If you wish to search back just go to the above website and you can search several more years obituaries for Donne.

Joan, 146 Stafford Ave is the location of the Apartment buildings that were built in the old School, so that matches your information. It is across the street from the former residence of my Grandparent's. My Aunt has not come across her, however, that doesn't mean she isn't there. Also as an aside, the "Old Ladies" Home on Putnam street is no longer functioning and is up for sale.

I can't answer the question, but here is a website with the history of Madison from an old book (1899). It is really interesting to read. Mentions many early settlers names and what kind of work they did. Here is an excerpt about the Town of Madison from History Of Madison, NY: From Our County And Its People A Descriptive And Biographical Record Of Madison County, New York. Edited By: John E. Smith, The Boston History Company, Publishers 1899. It is posted on [1]http://history.rays-place.com/ny/madison-ny.htm: There are four churches in the village-the Congregational, organized in 1796, and the First Baptist, organized in 1798; both are now in a prosperous condition. A Universalist Church was formed here in July, 1828, with Rev. Nathaniel Stacy, the first pastor. The society was not formally organized until 1852, and was reorganized and incorporated in 1866. The meeting house was built in 1821 and is still standing, but services are not now held. The Wesleyan Chapel (Methodist) was organized about 1833 with a class of nine members, and meetings were held in the small chapel in the east edge of Eaton about a mile west of Bouckville for a few years when the church in Madison was built; it was remodeled and improved about 1871. In 1888 the name of the church was changed to the Methodist Episcopal Church of Madison; it is a very prosperous organization. Since the Congregational Church was organized in 1796, it predated the formation of Madison Village, which wasn't incorporated until April 17, 1816. In the above account, written in 1899, the church apparently still existed but there is no indication whether the location had changed at any time after formation. Here's an 1875 map of Madison Village, showing the location of a Congregational Church and parsonage on Hamilton St., just south of Main St., and across from the Unitarian Church and cemetery. There is very high probability that this is the church in question.

The web site for Madison County's Town Clerks and Historians is: _http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nymadiso/township.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nymadiso/township.htm) However, it is not up to date. Sally Maine is NOT the current Town Clerk, as she retired a couple years ago. The Town Historian may have remained the same. -- Jim R In a message dated 1/10/2010 1:00:40 P.M.

A number of my Tompkins ancestors were likely baptized and/or married in the 1st Congregational Church of Madison, which was located in Madison Center at the time (early 1800s).  Does anyone know where/how I could access these records to find these baptisms and marriages?  Since there are no civil records for these early dates, this is my only/best lead, I'm afraid.  Thanks for your help, and happy new year!

What a great article. When I retired - I got chickens, increased my gardening, do genealogy & handwriting analysis, and teach gardening all year long. It is a great way to live and ignore people who think life is other than that. Las Vegas Nevada In a message dated 1/9/2010 5:46:11 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, cepage1@verizon.neet writes: Hi Madison County List, Your friend, Charles Page, has recommended this article entitled 'City Slicker: Getting Back to Basics' to you. Here is his/her remarks: She apparently moved to Madison County and will tell more in future columns City Slicker: Getting Back to Basics Posted By martha On December 31, 2009 (8:00 am) In Agriculture, Art & Culture, Front Page, Fun & Recreation, Opinion-Editorial By Linda J. Haley Online definitions of a “city slicker” differ: someone who lives and works in a city, one accustomed to a city or urban lifestyle or unsuited to life in the country, or a city-dweller regarded by rural people as a smooth, tricky person. Well, I do live, work and am accustomed to urban life, but am far from smooth or tricky. My reason for choosing the column title was a reference to the 1991 comedy of the same name starring Billy Crystal as “Mitch,” a man who has just turned 39 years old, and is thick in the middle of a midlife crisis. I, too, experienced a midlife crisis of sorts upon turning 39, and much like Mitch set off to discover what would bring me happiness. A therapist friend asked me, “When was the last time you were really happy? In the moment, not a care in the world, and fully enjoying yourself?” It took some thought and a serious amount of reflection – I recommend it to everyone who isn’t where they thought they’d be or is just plain unhappy. It’s a hugely revealing exercise to say the least! Where did my search take me? Back to my childhood friend Angie Martinez’s barn when I was 14 years old and helping her groom her horse, Tigger, for yet another horse show. Her mom, whom I adored, whisked us out to this magical place of fly spray, brushes, flax oil, and that unique warm and earthy smell of horses. Huge animals, with eyes the size of cue balls that kindly shared their space, patiently put up with young girls fussing over them and braiding pretty ribbons into their manes. I was completely enamored and terrified at the same time, and Angie was unaffected. To a country girl, it was no big deal, but to me? Utopia. Alas, it was short-lived. Angie’s parents sold their house and moved away a short year later, and that was my last exposure to equine paradise. Twenty-five years later, not knowing if I was nuts or had a moment of clarity, I began my journey to my happy place by getting back to horses. This journey helped me to discover way more than I ever knew about myself and what really makes me happy. That’s what this column will be: a sharing of my experiences as this city slicker stumbles her way around the foreign lands of rural life. It’s about horses, small towns, the truly great outdoors, fantastic people and places and the endless lessons along the way – all of which are found in abundance in Madison County. I look forward to sharing the people, places and lessons I find with Madison County Courier readers. Speaking of sharing, I would love reader input and invitations to experience more. The never-ending learning is the best part of this journey. I am interested in all things nature-based and back to the land: horses, homesteading, farming, ranching, green technology, outdoor activities, raising livestock, survival training, etc. It seems to me, everything old is new again, including me.
