Town of Pulteney Historian Report
November 2011
There is one picture left to be restored at Frames Galore & More for the time being. It is a picture of the South Pulteney Grange Hall. It is small and has a lot of rust colored dots on it. It is the only picture I can find. If anyone has another picture, I would love to make a copy of it for our files. I also am looking for a dress manequin. There is an old, old dress that I would like to display. I am looking for a volunteer for a winter project that needs to be completed at the office. It would be on Tuesday mornings. A visitor stopped in and was interested in the Dean family. I gave him copies of a few things. I received a call from Ellen Jones of East Bloomfield, NY. She has a 1841 spelling book of Ella Barney from Wheeler. I told her I’d do some research to find out if it was anyone who lived in our town or if the Wheeler or Avoca town historian would be interested. Ella Barney lived in Wheeler in 1870 and in Avoca in 1880. Ellen Jones and I had a nice visit and she will be sending the book in the mail to us. I just love talking with people who care so much about our history. I will send her a thank you note when I receive the book.

Donations given to Town of Pulteney
November 2011
Lenora Applebee from the Prattsburgh Historical Society has given us several more boxes of old newspapers to go through. After we get done with them, it has been requested that the remainder be taken to the Town of Wheeler. The volunteer I’m requesting would be to help see what’s in the newspapers and cut them out. (Ex: Pulteney, Pine Grove, and South Pulteney, news and also any ads from Pulteney businesses.)
