Hello list; I found two SALISBURY men buried in the Evergreen Cemetery, Town of Lee. Otis SALISBURY died 15 Jul 1882, age 90. Stephen SALISBURY died 05 Jul 1870, age 86. Apparently both were in the War of 1812, 157th Regiment. Is there any info on this regiment online? Does anyone know if they are the sons Otis and Stephen, named in the will of Richard SALISBURY in 1833, Cattauraugus Co? Did either ever marry? Thanks for any info on these two SALISBURY men.

J. Schwab Died in Hospital Had Recently Won Promotion in the Fire Department He devoted himself to the City's-Was an Energetic Very Capable Young Man-His Death a Loss to the Service "Albert J. Schwab a deputy chief of the Utica Fire Department, died at 10 o'clock this morning in St. Elizabeth's Hospital, where he had been a patient for some time." "Mr. Schwab was born in this city Feb. 20, 1864 and resided her practically all his life. He was the son of John D. Schwab and Christina C. Schrader. He attended the Utica Public schools, winning promotion in the lower grades until he entered the Academy. After remaining there for a short time he was employed in the grocery store of William McTiernan on Bleecker street. Not long afterwards he went to Detroit where he remained for one year. He then returned to Utica and took a position in the freight office of the New York Central Railway Company and held it continually for 16 years. While in that position he became a call fireman in the Utica Fire Department on July 10, 1896. On May 20, 1899, he was promoted to captain and assigned regular duty at No 2 engine house." "His ability as a fireman, coupled with never-failing faithfulness in the performance of his duty and efficiency in handling men, won Capt. Schwab deserved promotion and on Jan. 16, 1909 he was named deputy chief of the fire department. In that position; he gave excellent satisfaction and by the efficiency of his work and supervision proved an able assistant to Chief Sullivan. He had the implicit confidence of his superiors and likewise the confidence and respect of the men who were subject to his authority. He was a strict disciplinarian but at the same time he was fair and impartial, and the firemen who were faithful in their work always found him a good superior and friend." "Practically the entire time of Deputy Chief Schwab was given to his work, in the fire department. He had no outside interests to conflict with his work and devoted himself entirely to the labor of his life. It was his ambition to give the best service of which he was capable and to do his part any making the Utica Fire Department efficient and capable in every way. His interest in this work never flagged and until the time his fatal illness came upon him he was a strong factor in maintaining efficient organization in the department." "During the past two years the health of Deputy Chief Schwab was never very rugged, and about five weeks ago he was obliged to discontinue his work and go to the hospital for treatment. His trouble was diagnosed as gall stones and a consultation was held when there was no relief during treatment. An operation was decided upon and was performed a week ago. The deputy chief's trouble was other than as anticipated and his condition was such that no hop was entertained for his recovery and during the past tow days he had been failing rapidly. His passing away brings sincere sorrow to many friends, and particularly to those who had been his companions since boyhood and who had watched his work and advancement with no little pride. They had known him as a congenial youth and a youngman, and in his mature years had found him a good citizen, an upright man, and a friend who could be relied upon in all situations." "Deputy Chief Schwab was a member of Oriental Lodge Nol. 224 F. & A. M., and was faithful to the principles that society and loyal to its obligations and its purposes. He is survived by his father, John D. Schwab of 75 Lansing St., by his step-mother and by three sisters, Mrs. A. D. Gould of Eldred, Pa., Mrs. George W. Gradually of Buffalo and Miss Nellie C. Schwab of this city..." Flags at Half Mast "Commissioner of Safety Church this morning directed the fire chief to half-mast the flags at the fire engine house and to direct the firemen to wear mourning on their shields for thirty days. Delegations from each fire company will attend the funeral." "Commissioner of Safety Church had only good words to speak about Deputy Chief Schwab to-day. He said: "he death of the deputy chief is a loss to the Fire Department. He had proved to be very competent as an officer in the department in that he knew and appreciated what was and what was not wanted in the service. He was a good disciplinarian and it was there that his service added to the department. Whenever there was what might be called an unruly house, where it was hard to govern the men in the different companies under one building, Deputy Chief Schwab was sent there to straighten, out the conditions and he always did it. I was for these very qualifications that he was advanced to the position of deputy chief. He was a good fireman, brave in the discharge of his duties and always willing to go wherever he order the men. He was always on the inside of a building during a fire and he wanted the men to do the same, if necessary. He was good to the men who served under him, but he was a strict disciplinarian and a man who held to the rules. He was a sticker on this subject and every lieutenant who served under him as a captain bore the testimony that he was one of the best commanding officers. When Deputy Chief Schwab was in command of a house any trouble which existed there was reported by him, not by outsiders who had learned of the dissensions within the company. The deputy only saw the straight line, the department rules and his duty. His loss to the department is a distinct one. I deeply regret it. " "Capt. Wl. F. Dacy who has been in charge of No. 1's house in West Utica is serving at headquarters temproarily in place of the deceased. Contributed by Colette Hook Grower

Schwab Was Long Connected With Department. ___________________ Learned Trade of Boat Builder With His Father "John D. Schwab, a pioneer Utica fireman died Saturday at his home, 1119 Howard Avenue. Mr.. Schwab one of the oldest and best known firemen in the city, left the department almost 20 years ago and had not been active for the last 12 years. " "John D. Schwab was born here June 30, 1837. His father was David Schwab, who had come from Germany in 1830 and in 1832 he established himself in the boat building business on the Erie Canal." "Mr. Schwab was best known for his connection with the fire department. In 1857 he helped organize the Young America Hose Company No.2, which had a house on John Street, opposite St. John's Church. He served as foreman of this company and it was largely through his efforts that the Common Council appropriated $300 for a hose cart. The Company took the new cart to the City Hall, where Mayor Roscoe Conkling complimented them on its appearance. Mr. Schwab was in the Young America Hose Company for five years. It was then transferred to Neptune Engine and Franklin Hose Company No. 1 and Mr. Schwab served this company as foreman until April, 1874, when the present paid fire department was organized. This company at the distinction of having the first steamer brought to Utica. This was in 1865. In 1866 and 1870 he served as assistant engineer for the department. In 1874 he was made Captain of No. 1 Truck Company of the paid department, located on Cooper Street. He served in this capacity for eight years and retained his membership in the company until 1897 when he retired. For sometime afterward he worked as a carpenter. Mr. Schwab was one of the oldest and best know Uticans and was popular among the firemen. He was also one of the oldest members of the Exempt Firemen's Association having joined it as early as 1862. He had been representative to the Firemen's Benevolent Association for many years, and was in every way worthy of the confidence reposed in him by his associates. " "Mr. Schwab had also served many years in the National Guard. He joined the Fire Zouaves, an organization formed soon after the Civil War, and later he served in the Utica Conkling Corps under Capt.. Joseph Remmer and Capt. Schrader. In politics he was Republican, but held no office. He had been a member of Oriental Lodge 224 F. A. and M., since 1892. He attended the Park Baptist Church." "In 1859 Mr. Schwab married Miss Christina Schrader, of this city who died in 1881. In 1889 he married Miss Nellie Shaw, who is living. His children are Mrs. Emma L Gould of Ilion, Mrs. Cora Emma Gridley of Buffalo, and Mrs. Nellie Nelson of Utica. A son Albert J Schwab who was deputy chief of the Utica Fire Department, died in 1906. Three grandchildren also survive Ruth Nelson of Utica, Mrs. Herbert Howell of Buffalo, and Mrs. Hook of Brooklyn." "Mr. Schwab was one of the most active members of Exempt Firemen's Association and passed many happy hours in its headquarters on Union Street, discussing the palmy days of the volunteer fire department. He was greatly esteemed by all." Contribued by Colette Hook Grower

Hi List, I am trying to break down a stone wall I have run into. My gggreat grandfather, Brockman Hopkins, married Sarah Bremen in Oneida County in 1840. I am trying to find a link to records that could help me narrow my quest. The only other information I have is that Brockman was born in East Kent, England, in 1815 and Sarah was born in Dutchess County, NY, in that same year. Is there a Hall of Records or other location you could point me to where I could get my hands on a marriage certificate or record of same?! My supreme thanks to SKS who can help me!

Posted on: Oneida Co. NY Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Oneida?read=666 Surname: Buell ------------------------- I am searching for a photo of the box described below. It was made by our ancestor William Buell. The Oneida County Historical Society has a small chest attributed to William Buell. The chest is 2 feet wide by 1 1/2 feet deep by 9 inches high, made of oak and intricately carved on the sides. It is said to be a "bible box" but there is no supporting evidence that this was its actual purpose. It may have been intended and used as a portable desk, without legs. A brass plaque is affixed to the top stating that it was brought by William Buell from England in 1630 and donated to the historical society by a Mr. Wayles (Wales)Buell. Any information on the Buell family in Westmoreland, NY would be deeply appreciated. I have been trying to find the church they belonged to and the cemetery where they were buried.

Good morning! I need some help from all the Oneida Co. experts out there. I've been looking for information on my gr-grandmother, Mae ANDERSON for about a year now and I recently had a breakthrough. Last November I discovered that Mae ended up in Washington, DC so I sent for her death certificate. In December I received the death cert for Mae which indicats her father's name was John ANDERSON. Her date of birth was given as 15 Aug 1895 (although I have conflicting dates on this). Last week I found the obituary for Mae's sister, Lillian M. (ANDERSON) McSWEENEY which listed her parents' names as John and Jennie ANDERSON, thereby confirming the father's name and giving me the mother's name. Lillian was born in Utica, was educated in St. John's School, and was a member of St. Peter's Church and Altar-Rose Society. I found John and Jennie, with 1 yr-old daughter Millie M., in the 1880 census for Oneida Co., city of Utica, 4th ward. The parents' names match as does the date of birth I had on Lillian. However, I can't find them in the 1900 census for Oneida Co. Therefore, I have not been able to connect Mae (who should have been about 5 in 1900) with her parents yet. Lillian was married in 1899, but I can't find her and her husband, Patrick McSWEENEY in the 1900 census either. I know Lillian was born and lived in Utica all her life. The 1910 census has not yielded any info either because Mae's daughter Grace (my grandmother) was born in 1908, presumably in Ohio. Luckily I did find John and siblings listed with their parents, John and Mary ANDERSON in both the 1870 and 1860 censuses, which takes me back another generation! In the city directories for Utica, John, Jr disappears after 1886. I don't know whether he died or moved. He dropped the Junior in the 1884 directory so I assumed his father died the year before (although John, Sr disappears after 1879). QUESTIONS: Is it true there is no 1892 NYS census for Onedia Co.? :-( Are there vital records indexes for the late 1800s - early 1900s for Utica? Lillian, Patrick, and some offspring are buried in Mt. Olivet Cem. Can I search indexes at this cem for Lillian's parents without specific death dates? I'd like to find out if Mae was also educated in St. John's School, but I understand the school is gone. Will I be able to obtain records from the Catholic Diocese? Does anyone have an address? Does anyone have an address for St. Peter's Church? I'd like to write them for possible wedding information for Lillian. Any other suggestions? As always, thanks for your help.

NY Obituaries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/OneidaObits?read=108 Surname: ------------------------- A Merchant for Nearly Fifty Years, and a Highly Respected Citizen, Who Died Last Night. Sylvanus Hoag of Yorkville, died at his home in that village last evening. He was in his 71st year, and his death was due to an attack of grippe, from which he suffered about one month, and which left him in an enfeebled condition. On Friday he was taken suddenly ill, and Sunday night he died. He retained his consciousness up to the hour of his death. For 48 years Mr. Hoag has been in business in the villages of New York Mills and Yorkville. He was born in Peru, Clinton County, and his parents were Quakers. He cam to New York Mills when 10 years of age, and when a young man he opened a store. His brother was his partner, but the partnership was not of long duration. Later he associated in business with J.J. Hall, and for the last 32 years he conducted the store himself. His place of business, near the Yorkville canal bridge, is one of the landmarks of the village. His wife was Miss Augusta Ford, and his married life was extremely happy. His widow and one daughter, the wife of the Hon. Joseph Ackroyd, and two grandchildren survive. Mr. Hoag was Postmaster oat New York Mills during the administrations of President Pearce and President Buchanan, and performed his duties with a faithfulness characteristic of him. Mr. Hoag was a man of exemplary character and far-reaching influence. In all his dealings he was upright and conscientious. He enjoyed in a marked degree the respect and confidence of his neighbors and customers. In every sense of the work he was a man of integrity. Besides attending to his business duties, Mr Hoag found time to acquire a vast fund of useful information by constant and judicious reading. In regard to the history of the development of this country, few men possessed a more accurate knowledge. The knowledge he brought to bear upon the solution of economic and social problems of the present day, and all his political opinions and beliefs were founded upon convictions well fortified by sound and consistent ideas. In politics he was a Democrat, and he was an enthusiastic tariff reformer. An incident will illustrate his interest in this subject. Last summer Dr. Ira D. Brown, editor of the Cayuga Chief, delivered a lecture on the tariff in the Town Hall in Whitesboro. Hon. L.L. Lowery, of Utica, who was in the audience, replied in support of the theory of protection. There were but a few persons present, and Dr. Brown did not care to proceed to a lengthy discussion, and made only a brief response. Hr. Hoag, 70 years old, had walked from Yorkville to hear the discussion, and he was unwilling to let the statement of Mr. Lowery go unchallenged, and he arose and asked the privilege of saying a few words. In a brief but spirited speech Mr. Hoag made one of the best tariff arguments ever heard in Whitesboro. He quoted from utterances of statesmen, from standard historical works, referred to historical incidents and events taking place under his own observation, wit a freedom, accuracy and fluency that indicated not only the sincerity of his convictions but a well trained mind. He always labored zealously for the success of his party, and was the highest type of an honest partisan. He was once School Commissioner for the First Oneida District, and for many years was Justice of the Peace. Only one brother of Mr. Hoag, Newcome H., of 41 Miller street, Utica, survives. His funeral will take place Thursday, March 17 at 2 p.m.

Coe, as she was known, daughter of Dr. Alfred and Mrs. Sarah A. Coe, was born at Oxford, May 16, 1853. She received her education at our Academy, spending two years meantime at the Packer Institute, Brooklyn. Several succeeding years were passed partly at home and in part at Saratoga with her mother, for whom she was a constant devoted companion. During these years Miss Carrie was, when at home, the cherished friend of a small circle of daughters of her neighbors, among whom were Misses Kitty Sands, Lily Hyde, Cora Kathan, Jessie Sheldon, Helen Landers and others. Her time was passed in cultivation of instrumental music, in which she attained proficiency; embroidery, painting in oil, the improvement of a sound literary taste, as well as in domestic concerns. Life to her seemed without a shadow and well worth living. At length her health became impaired to such an extent that relatives decided to place her where she might receive the best of nursing and medical care adapted to her peculiar case, Glen Mary, near Owego, being selected. At Owego, in charge of Dr. J.T. Greenleaf, Miss Carrie passed the last three years, receiving every needed attention from skillful and friendly hands. Bu nature was gradually yielding until within a brief time, it was evident that her life had nearly reached its limit. On Wednesday, August 12, 1896, she died, her burial taking place Friday afternoon at Oxford. The Rev. Dr. Ward T. Sutherland conducted the services at the Congregational chapel. With her a spirit of love predominated over that of selfishness. Simplicity, unaffectedness and refinement of manner made her society attractive and pleasing at all times. Unobtrusive virtues and fidelity to friends threw a charm around those within reach of her kindly influence. She seemed by nature endowed with many of those rare qualities which are ever recognized as essential to the character of true woman.
