Dick Hellenbrand, Thank you for the input. I wonder if perhaps Gertrude Mitchell could have been employed there as they lived nearby. I used MapQuest and learned that the street the Mitchells lived on wasn't too far away. I checked the Nottinghams who were living in Syracuse at the time (census) but didn't find anyone on Colvin St which the paper mentioned. I also noted that the Oakwood and Morningside cemeteries were near where the Golf Club is located. Will have more sleuthing to do ! Thanks again.

The Nottingham Farm was where Drumlins Country Club is now, on Nottingham Road. The Nottinghams (Van Vleck and his brother Gorton,) came to Onondaga Co. from Dutchess Co. and had a large dairy farm on Lot 70. See the 1874 Sweets Atlas Map of Onondaga Co., posted on the Cayuga Co. GenWeb site. One of the sons, William, was a noted attorney and business man, in Syracuse and founded many industrial and transportation companies throughout the U.S. His bio may be found on Google Books, "The Green Bag" (periodical) March 1912. My mom, before she was married, did house work for Mrs. Nottingham and we lived in one of the Nottingham owned farm houses until 1948. I don't think there was ever any kind of an "institution" by this name, but could be wrong. The Onondaga Historical Association and Syracuse University should have good files on these people. William was a very big deal at SU.
