I have gotten a lot of responses and it so far sounds like people with PC's and Macs can down load the images and save them in digital form. But it also sounds like the quality may be lacking. I can not fully use the site as I am hooked at home to the internet via a LINIX box with strick security actions in place by my computer person. I had fired up my Mac but was unable to download the files. I have the Mac mouse with no buttons (no right click) so maybe there is something that I am missing. bill This is from a geologist from SUNY at Geneseo I can copy and open the images in other software (ie. Photoshop), but the images have poor resolution (too pixilated), so that they would seem to have limited value for practical applications. =================================== I did right click and select "Save Picture As", but the resolution isn't nearly as good as the actual file. The way the site uses pop-up windows and not direct URLs makes it hard to use some of the image grabbing tools I have, so I don't know how to d/l them either, at least not at the higher resolution. =================================== I have an iMac OSX (Macintosh/Apple) and am able to download the images by pressing Control and then a left click on the mouse. I don't know what the instructions would be for another system. =================================== I went to the site and was able to download the pictures. I pulled up a picture and did a right click on the mouse. In the drop down window I selected "Save image as" and saved it to my desktop. =================================== The site won't work at all unless I turn on pop-up windows; and I won't on GP.Often, pop-up windows are used to isolate content from "normal" browser options. I suspect they mean "look but don't copy."

Bill, I could also download them in Windows XP by right clicking, selecting Copy Image, then opening a drawing program and pasting into it.

The historic aerial photo site is now public: http://aerial-ny.library.cornell.edu So far I have found no way to download the digital image. One only seems to be able to print.???

His mark Signed sealed published and declared by the aboved named Peter Smith to be his last will and Testament in the presence of us who have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses in the presence of and at the request of the testator. David Post Town of Ulysses Tompkins Co. William Like Town of Ulysses Tompkins Co. ___________________________________________________________ David Post of the town of Ulysses in the county of Tompkins being first duly sworn deposeth and says that he was acquainted with the above mentioned Peter Smith decd in his lifetime: that he saw the said Peter Smith deceased subscribe at the end th__of the instrument now shown to this deponent purporting to be the last Will and Testament of the said Peter Smith. He wished me to draw his will and I done so. After I got through he signed it. After I got it wrote I read it over to him: he said it was right and he signed it. He said it was his will. He wished Mr. Lyke and myself to sign it as witnesses. He then declared it to be his last Will and Testament. He made this declaration before I signed it. After that he requested Mr. Lyke and myself to sign it as witness. There was no persons present except us three. He was about 80 years old when he signed the will. This took place at my house about a half mile from his house. He came there on foot to get me to draw his! will. His health was not very good, some feeble. I had known him some twenty years. I had seen him daily or weekly during that time. At the time 186 he executed the will I think his mind was good. He was of sound mind and memory I think, as far as I know he was. I know of no influence being brought to bear on him in making the will. He seemed to have a strong will of his own. I wrote as he told me. We were two or three hours in making the will. This took place Feb. 17th 1857 the time the will bears date. Peter Smith is not now living. He died within the last two months. He resided in Ulysses in the County of Tompkins at the time of his death. This is the only will I have drafted for him. There was no will that I know of at the time I drew this. Mr. Lyke was not present during the whole of the time occupied in drawing the will. He came in at the last of the proceedings. I think we had got through drawing the will. He was sent for by Peter Smith. Don't remember who went after Lyke. I had never witnessed any other will for Peter Smith. I never witnessed a will for him but on one occasion. I attached the piece of paper to the end of the will. It was done at the time on the 17th day of February when I drew the body of the Instrument. I attached the piece because the paper was not long enough. I don't know why I did not go on over the sheet without attaching a piece. It was done at my house. I furnished the paper. This was the only style of paper I had except some little sheets. At the time I drew the will he said what is in the will about the infants. I don't know as he explained to me the situation o! f the land any more than what is in the will. I wrote the will just as he told me to: don't remember as he said they had signed a conveyance of that land. He said nothing about a Mr. Skinner that I remember. Don't remember that he said he had sold this land. Can't say what time he was at my house - it was some time in the middle of the day. We were in the kitchen. Can't say whether Lyke was present when I read over the will but think not. I think Smith made his mark. I don't know 187 whether he could write or not. I had had no conversation with him about drawing a will before this occasion. I retained the will after it was executed until since his death and I then gave it to his son William one of the executors named in the will. I gave it to him within a couple of weeks. There was an alteration made in the will while in my possession after it was executed. It was altered by erasing the words "and grand son and grand daughter." This was done about six months after it was executed - perhaps not more than three -- can't say. It was done by me at the request of Peter Smith in his room at his house. No one was present in the room but he and myself. I was sent for to come there. He said there was one thing that was not right that the words grand son and grand daughter he wished to have taken out and I erased them. He assigned no reason for it that I remember. There was no one present but Smith and myself at the time I made the erasure. I took the will away again. He said nothing about Mr. Skinner in that conversation. There was no other alterations made in the will at that time. There was none before or after that time after it was executed. The interlineations of the words "To be taken from the seven hundred and fifty dollars" was made before the will was executed. The will is in the same condition in all respects as when it was executed with the exception of the erasu! re of "grand son and grand daughter." After Lyke came in he and I signed the will. I think it was signed by Smith before Lyke came. He acknowledged his signature to Mr. Lyke before Lyke signed it I think. I might have told Peter Wicks after the erasure that he was better off that he was before. I don't remember. I don't recollect that I told him by the alteration that I had taken two hundred dolls. off Jane's share I don't remember what I have said to others about it. At the time of the erasure all that was said or transpired was what was said and done about erasing the words grand son and grand daughter. David Post 188 William Lyke of the town of Ulysses in the county Tompkins being first duly sworn says that he was acquainted with Peter Smith deceased in his lifetime that Peter Smith acknowledged that he signed the instrument now shown to this deponent purporting to be the last will and testament of the said Peter Smith and above described. That he heard the said Peter Smith acknowledge the same to be his last will and testament.I subscribed my name to it at his request as a witness. I done it in his presence and the presence of David Post. He is the other witness to the will there was no others present but us three. The will was signed by all but me when I got there I think can't be certaind that Mr Post had signed it but am certain Mr. Smith had signed it. I should think from all I saw that Smith was of sound mind and memory at the time I signed the will. He was under no restraint that I know of. Mr. Smith is dead. He died in Ulysses within two (?) months. We were in a room in! Posts house in the north part of the house. Should think from what I saw Post used it for a kind of an office. Can't say whether there was a stove or fire in the room. I think no one came into the room while I was there. A stranger to me came after me a relative I believe of Mr. Posts. I have no recollection of signing my name to a piece of paper attached to the main body of the instrument. It is my signature on the piece so attached. I can't say that I remember there was a piece attached at the time. I did not notice the instrument as it lay before me. I believe I signed at the bottom of the last page when I came in. I think when I first came in Mr. Smith said he had a paper there he wished me to put my name on. Then I think Mr. Post told me it was Mr. Smith's will. And then Post asked Smith if that was his last will & testament and his signature to it and Smith said it was. That is all that was said about the will. I then signed it as a witness. Smith aske! d me to sign it after he had made this acknowledgment. Can't say what time of day it was. The will 189 was not read over in my presence. I have examined the bottom of this instrument since I have been here. I can't swear positively that this is the instrument I signed. I did not read it or notice it particularly. I don't remember on what kind of paper the will was written. I don't remember seeing Post sign his name. His name was there before I signed it but I can't say whether he signed it in my presence or not. I live about a quarter of a mile from Posts. David Post recalled by contestant ------ I don't remember ever saying anything to Mr. Lyke about any interlineations. David Post Wm Lyke - I don't remember as I ever talked with Mr. Post about interlining. David Post - I don't remember ever saying in Mr. Lyke's presence that there was no interlining in the will. David Post Wm Lyke - I think Mr. Post said in my presence within the last ten or twelve days that there was no interlining in the will. Direct - I can't relate the conversation. Post was talking with some others. I think David Wicks was present. I was busy at work and did not hear the conversation. I only heard Post say there was no interlineations made. William Lyke David Post recalled by Executor - I have had several times questions asked me if there was any interlineations with regard to the minors and I have said not. Peter Wicks has asked me questions but I don't remember was was said. David Post William Smith of the town of Romulus in the County of Seneca and State of New York being first duly sworn says: I was acquainted with Peter Smith. He was my father. I have had the custody of his will for some time. I recd it from David Post. I called at his house and got it one week after my father was buried. It has been in my custody from that time until brought in court here. It is in the same condition in all respects as when I received it and has not been 190 altered in any particular. I heard at the time father was buried that Post had the will and that I was one of the executors and I went to get it. I was not here when father died. I came to his funeral. I do not know of fathers making any other will but this. I heard that he had made one previously but know nothing about it except by report or rumor. I had a conversation with Post last Monday about the alteration in the will. I asked him about it. He said he had made the erasure in the will spoken of and that he had seen Esq. Ring and he said it would not injure the will. He said it was reported that he had interlined with regard to the minor heirs but that he had not done so. William S. Smith ___________________________________________ I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true record of the original last will and testament of Peter Smith late of Ulysses Tompkins Co. deceased and of the original proofs relating thereto -- Ithaca September 8th 1858 S. P. Misner County Judge Comments: Peter Smith was born 21 Jun 1777 and died 30 Jun 1858. His wife Clarissa (daughter of David Fithin and Mary Halsey) was born 24 Feb 1778 and died 8 Feb 1859. I am a descendant of Peter Smith via: James Stevenson, my father; Clinton R. L. Stevenson; S. Frank Stevenson; Nancy Mary Smith Stevenson; Fithen Halsey Smith; Peter Smith; Christopher Smith; Johannes (John) Schimdt (Smith). Peter Smith settled on Ulysses 19 near Waterburg as early as 1802 where the Pine Ridge Farm now is. His brother Elias Smith settled nearby on Ulysses 19 on Podunk Road around 1807. Their father Christopher Smith was an early settler in the town of Covert, Seneca County, N.Y. The coexecutor Abner Treman appears to have been the son of Abner Treman (founder of Trumansburg, N.Y,) and Mary McLallen, who was born in 1803 in Trumansburg, married Jemina Thomas, and died in 1887 in Waterburg.

Several years ago, Ithaca had a marvelous web site with pictures of almost every house in the city. It was a wonderful resource, but it seems to have disappeared. A tragic waste of resources if it no longer exists! Does anyone know what happened to it and/or where it is now? Thanks!
