MYSTERY PHOTOGRAPH
Arcadia NY
Wayne County, New York
Bette Sasso would appreciate your assistance identifying
this photo of a couple driving an ox cart. Do you recognize the buildings or the people? She
estimates the date to be 1905. [Note: many early migrants to Wayne County wended their way through the forests
with wagons and carts drawn by teams of oxen.]
"There is no photographer's stamp on the photograph. In 1946 my family lived
in a house in Rochester, NY that Adelbert Cronise lived in. He and his wife
were there until 1933, when they passed away. There were two other families
that lived in the house between 1934 - 1945. This photo was found in the
house. It could have been left by any of the three families. I know that
Adelbert Cronise's family came from Wayne County (he was born in Arcadia)
and that he had relatives there. I have no proof that this photo is from
Wayne County, but I am just curious as to where the location is. That's
why I am trying to find out if it could have been Wayne County. Thank you for your assistance."
