|
|
| A new year has begun. I now have a printer, copier, fax combination. The copier portion has been tested and |
| works. The printer needs to be hooked up so the computer knows it's there. It will be wonderful to be able to |
|
| print from the computer instead of e-mailing files to my home for printing. |
|
| |
|
| I still have the Glenview cemetery records to put on a spreadsheet for the Town Clerk this year. Also, I would |
| like to do some kind of display involving our old school houses. |
|
|
| I also would like to organize the cupboards and files so we have a better sense of what kind of information we |
| have to work with. All of this takes a lot of time to do. |
|
|
| I'm still working on the Pierce request. I hope to get it finished next week. |
|
|
| In the newspaper January 3, 1895 South Pulteney News: |
|
|
| Mrs Betsy Lyon is visiting her daughter on Bluff Point. |
|
| G A Beers is able to be out once more. |
|
| Mrs E G Ball and two daughters are on the sick list. |
|
| Bessie Lyon visited her cousin Myra Retan last week. |
|
| Mrs Harry Mills and daughters are spending a few weeks with friends in Bath and Wheeler. |
|
| Mr Scott of Rochester is visiting his daughter, Mrs S B Lyon. |
|
| Mrs Gibson Clark and daughter Ella are visiting at her parents. |
|
| James Geen from Baltimore medical college is spending a few days with J H Gibson's family. |
|
| Mabel McAdams of Bath spent New Year's with G A Arnold's family. |

| Requests for the Town of Pulteney Historian 2010 |
|
|
| I have had a call regarding Uriel Chapin, the first Supervisor from the Town of Pulteney, from a relative who |
|
| lives in Hammondsport. I will call him back to work with him on his inquiry. |
|
|
|
| I had a visit from Mrs David Pizura regarding any information on the Anna Egresi farm & house. I couldn't |
|
| tell her much. On the 1873 map, it looks like it was owned by Bela Bonney. Before they do any renovations, |
|
| they were wondering about it being an historical landmark. She had heard a story that when the cattle drives. |
|
| went by, they would stop and stay overnight because it was an inn at that time. I have no knowledge of it's |
|
| history. |
|
|
| Donations given to Town of Pulteney 2010 |
|
|
| Alise Irwin gave a monetary donation to the Pulteney Town Historian to keep the work going to honor the |
|
| memory of Phyllis Peek. That's why I'm hoping to do some sort of project involving the schools. That is |
|
| something that meant a lot to Phyllis. The framed picture of "Supervisors in the 1900's" and the "Military Wall" |
|
| were completions of Phyllis's work. |
|
| Response: I sent a thank you note to Alise Irwin. I also sent an e-mail to the family of Phyllis Peek and also |
| sent a note of acknowledgment to Thelma Peek as requested. |
