John THOMPSON and Temperance J. VANDERHOOF/VANDERHUFF were married in Sussex Co., 10 March 1870. Does anyone have access to any marriage record concerning this couple, as to where the marriage took place and by whom? There were two children born to this marriage, according to the 1900 census, but none living. Does anyone have knowledge as to the names of these children, where buried, etc. Temperance J. was born Feb. 1827 and may have died 1917. She was the daughter of Jacob A. VANDERHOOF and Elizabeth SWAN, of Warwick, Orange Co., NY. Temperance was one of at least 10 children. John was born October 1819 in Middletown, NY. Does anyone know parentage? His date and place of death? Any help will be most appreciated. Thank you. Mona in Richmond, IN

The following newspaper wedding announcement was found amount papers I recently acquired from the Brown side of my family. " Wesley Osborn and Miss Annie L. Brown, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William L. Brown, were quietly married at the parsonage of the Christian Temple, at 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening, by Rev. F.A. Heath. The couple were unattended." It goes on to say that "After the ceremony they were driven to the home of the bride's parents, 14 James Street, where a reception was held..." It also says that "Mr. Osborn is a gunsmith employed by J.H. Clearwater." The newspaper clipping had no date or even a hint of what newspaper it came from. I have no other record of this Annie L. Brown or her parents. I only have a vague family "story" of their being Brown relatives in the Newburgh area. I am hoping that someone on this list will recognise the names, the church, the street, or the business and give me a starting point. Thanks, Judy Huska

page 400 portrait and biographical record E. Knox Kittle, proprietor of the Newburgh Bottling Depot, at No.10 South Water Street, Newburgh, is one of the leading business men of the city. His birth occurred here on the 22nd of June 1860 , and he is of Irish descent. His great grandfather , John Little, who was a fancy weaver in Belfast, Ireland, settled in Newburgh at an early day, and here he followed the same occupation. Samuel Little, the grandfather, brought his family from Belfast in 1824, and , on locating at Newburgh, first engaged in weaving, but later removed to a farm adjoining the city, where his death occurred at the age of seventy-six. His wife , who bore the maiden name of Margaret Templeton, and who was also a native of the Emerald Isle, also died here. In their family were six sons, James, John, Andrew, Samuel, William and Robert, three of whom are deceased, James, Samuel and John. Andrew and William make their home in Newburgh, and Robert in New York City. The father of our subject, Andrew Little, was born in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland in 1819, but most of his youth was passed in Newburgh, where he learned carpentering and building. As a member of the firm of Little & Kelley he began contracting, their shop being located on Front Street, and they erected many important buildings, including Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, the Cranston Hotel, William E. Dodge's residence at Riverdale , NY, the court house at Riverhead, L.I., and the Westminster Church of Newburgh, besides rebuilding St. Patrick's Church , and remodeling the Newburgh Steam Mills. They were given the first contract for the Catholic Cathedral on Fifth Avenue, New York City, but gave it up, and erected the building for the Ringgold Hose Company, and also for the Brewster Hook and Ladder Company. Besides the numerous residences they built in Newburgh and vicinity, they had the contract for thirteen churches,and were ranked among the leading contractors and builders of Orange County. Andrew Little has been three times married, his first union being Miss Nancy Peck, a native of Newburgh, and to them were born two daughters, Susan who died in New Jersey; and Sarah L. a resident of New York. His second wife, who bore the maiden name of Ann J. Jamison, was also a native of Newburgh, where her death occurred. Later he wed Emily Williams, who was born in Middletown, and to them were born four children, two of whom are still living; Andrew R.T. who is connected with the United States Express Company of New York City; and E.Knox. After engaging for fifty years as a contractor, the father retired in 1888, and during the construction of the West Shore Railroad he was superintendent of the buildings, In early life he was connected with the Brewster Hook and Latter Company and the Columbus Hose Company, in both of which he served as Forman. He is the only charter member of Westminster Church still living, and is now acting as one of the ruling Elders. Politically his support is given to the Republican party. After completing his education in the academy of Newburgh, E.Knox Little began clerking at the age of sixteen, in the dry goods house of C. Brink, and later served in the same capacity with Gilles, Needham & Sands. In 1879 he started in business for himself in the dry-goods line, being located at no. 54 Broadway, near Johnson Street, and a year later admitted his brother to partnership, the firm becoming Little Brothers. At the end of one year, however, he sold out to his brother and went to New York City, where he engaged in contracting and building for eight years with good success, during which time he erected the Morning Side Flats, the Phoenix Building, at the corner of Wall and Water Streets, and the Women's Medical College. On leaving New York he returned to Newburgh, and for three years served as collector and salesman for the Charles K. Licht Highland Brewery. In October 1893, he started his present business, the Newburgh Bottling Depot, at No. 10 South Water Street, and his sales amount to two carloads per week. He handles the Broadway Brewing Company's beer, of Rochester, NY and the Saratoga Victoria Water, running four delivery wagons. In Newburgh, in 1881, was the marriage of Mr. Little and Miss Eve Lena Bushfield,a native of Orange County and daughter of John W. Bushfield, an insurance agent and surveyor of Leptondale, N.Y. Socially Mr. Little is connected with the Masonic fraternity, belonging to Crescent Lodge No 402, F& A.M of New York; assisted in the organization and was the first Exalted Ruler of Elk Lodge No. 247, of Newburgh, and for three terms continued to fill that office; is a member of the Grand Lodge of Elks; and also belongs to North River Lodge No. 1218, K.of H. He holds membership with the Orange Lake Club and the Newburgh Gun Club, in which he takes an active interest, while in politics he is a stalwart Republican. He is a worthy representative of one of the oldest families of Newburgh, and on account of his genial social qualities makes many friends.
