NOTES: Ossining, New York was originally named SIng SIng, after the Sinct Indians. Once the infamous prison was referred to as SIng Sing, residents sought a name change for their town. Thus, Ossining became the name of the town. Jessie J. COLLIER/COLLYER was the Mayor of Ossining circa 1960. ===================== Minneapolis Journal February 4,1924 SURNAMES: COLLIER, JOHNSON, BROWN, EUGESON "Ice Traps Motorcar" Yorktown: Three young men who in a closed car sought to cross Lake Mahopan near here, on the rotting ice Sunday and were plunged into ten feet of water when the ice broke through, owe their lives to the presence of mind of Mrs Jessie J COLLIER, of Ossining. As the automobile disappeared under water, she summoned scores of horrorstricken fellow skaters, her husband among them and at her direction they formed a human chain and one by one brought the submerged men to safety. In the front seat of the sedan were Frank JOHNSON, and Herbert l BROWN and in the back seat Milton EUGESON, all of Croton Falls.
