All the comments about cigars struck a jumbled cord in my brain. If I remember right, Clay, New York, was once known as Cigarville due the cigar making factory and the growing of the tobacco around that area. It has been along time since I've heard that name, and truthfully my memory doesn't always serve me well. Clay is about 7 miles west of Cicero on Rte. 31 and in Onondaga County. I have no idea about any cigar factory in Oneida. Just the mention of the industry made me think back. Pat J.

Pat, thanks for your reply. I think there might have been one in Oneida as three people on the 1900 Census sheet that my relative is on are listed as cigar makers. In doing research, it appears that at that time, small cigar factories were not unusual.
