I am trying to contact Robert Hillick whose last known address was in Fulton, New York, and whose email address was hillick@attglobal.net, but that bounced this morning. He is a distant cousin on the PHILLIPS family line and I have new information to share with him. Thank you, Sally Bailey fbsb@earthlink.net

Author: bonniemcd1 Surnames: Clark, Hathaway, Carver Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.tompkins/5052/mb.ashx Message Board Post: What records are available to help me learn more about Candace Clark, wife of Levi Clark, who is listed in South Hill Cemetery, Ithaca, and who died 20 Apr 1834 according to headstone? I have a Candace Hathaway, b. 1800, Conn., married to Levi Clark, b. abt. 1798-99, Conn. Candace's father, Ebenezar Hathaway of CT was in Cayuga Co., NY when he died abt. 1844, according to FHL records. Also listed in South Hill Cemetery is William E. Clark, son of Levi & Candace Clark, died Apr 9, 1832, age 2 y 5 m. From this and other information including 1850 census, I'm guessing Levi & Candace had children: Elizabeth, b. 1826, Erastas, b. 1829, and William, b. 1830. Then, if this is my Candace, she died in 1834, and Levi married Sarah. Children of Levi & Sarah, born in Tompkins Co., included: Emeline, b.1839, Frances, b.1841, Candace, b.1845, Alma(h), b.1848, Henry, b.1850. By 1860 census, Levi & Sarah, their children and granddaughter, Mary Carver, are in Portville, Cattaraugus Co,, NY,! and I beileve Sarah A. died in 1869 and is buried in Mount View Cemetery. My line is Levi & Candace's daughter, Elizabeth, who married Leonard Carver, and then Elizabeth & Leonard's daughter, Mary Carver. I have other information I would be glad to share, and I would very much appreciate anything else anyone may have on this family.

Norene, I somehow missed the initial message in the thread, but gather you have put together a file of Brown obits from Tompkins County. If these are 19th century, could I beg (on bended knee!) for a copy? Thanks for the consideration. Haines Bown

The brine well for the rememington salt works was across the trolley track from the salt plant-there is a picture of the well head in the Ithaca wegmans grocery store by the bath rooms. The remington folks used a coal stoker boiler with a pot retort as my fatherinlaw described it to create steam to evaporate the salt for resale. Bill I am 99% positive this is a photograph of the operating floor of the "Remington salt works on east shore drive. across from the east shore sailing docks. My father-in-laws father worked there until they went bankrupt during the depression. The John C. Lowery Company now occupies the Remington Salt works building The International salt works was in Myers, New York and unfortunately there is no trace of it now due to the employee parking lots being covered over with soil and made into park land-little do they know the size of the cavity below their feet-hell when we wanted to mine north they could not guarantee its actual size when they mined under it as all the well heads were covered over and obtaining borehole images was out of the question-another ticking manmade geological time bomb just like the brine pools at Watkins Glen on the southern and western shore-not to discount the possible failure of the salt brine cavity being used by nyseg for compressed natural gas.

It includes eight workshops; all taught by Cornell University's conservation and preservation specialists. The series' objective is to help regional libraries and historical agencies add to their knowledge base and skills by offering sessions related to managing collections (monitoring, handling, exhibiting, repairing, salvaging) and environmental concerns (insects, temperature, humidity, mold, rodents, bats). The workshops will train regional libraries in planning processes which will ensure an appropriate environment to prevent common preservation problems, and to offer solutions when, or if, these processes should fail. As libraries implement sound environmental conditions in their libraries, the same conditions will be beneficial for the staff and users of the library. All workshops in this series will emphasize hands-on activities. The registration fee will cover handouts, practice materials, refreshments, and lunch. Approximately once each month, from September 2006 through April 2007, one of the Putting Theory into Practice workshops will be presented in the Ithaca area. Further details about this, and all SCRLC training sessions, are available on the SCRLC calendar at http://www.lakenet.org/scrlc/calendar.html ************************************************************ South Central Regional Library Council Preservation Reformatting March 15, 2007 Please email kjackson@lakenet.org, send or fax this form and payment to: SCRLC, 215 N.

I'm anxious to cull some information from the Jones/Perry City Cemetery burial records. I understand there's an "internment book" in the possession of the administrator of the cemetary. He is supposed to be reachable at Information@JonesCemetery.org, but this address is no longer valid. I need to find someone with access to the record to cull information on a couple of surnames up to the mid-19th century. Haines Brown
