Town of Pulteney Historian Report
December 2011
 
    
     This year has been a busy one. There have been many visitors from all around the United States and requests for information from everywhere. Several people have visited our cemeteries also.

     I am still working on the Glenview Cemetery records. I have 320  (6 grave) lots entered on the computer out of 441.  Donna and I have verified about a quarter of the burials by Donna’s witching rods. We’ll have to wait until warmer weather to do some more.  I am finishing up the “P”’s for the Steuben County Census. Hopefully both of these projects will be completed in 2012.

     I hope to be able to work more hours this next year. My goals are to finish the cemetery records, finish the county census, take care of, file, organize, and index the newspaper articles, re-file and spread out all the files from the filing cabinet that are too packed together, get the rest of the historical stuff out of the safe, plus keep up with all the requests.  Good Luck to Me !!!!!!!!!!!!!

December 2011

     There were too many requests for genealogy information for me to list them all for the year of 2011. I have all the correspondence finished except one from Paul Schatz from Wisconsin regarding the Sarles that are buried in the Old Presbyterian Cemetery..

     Ellen Jones from East Bloomfield, NY donated the 1841 spelling book of Ella Barney from when she attended Wheeler school.

     Thelma Peek donated a plastic shopping bag and a picture of  her and Walt in front of the Pulteney Delicatessen in Bath, England. She also donated a picture of a Memorial Day Parade with no idea of the date. It appears to be somewhere around 1920. I sent them each a thank you note.
