As the 4th of July next will complete Half a Century since the declaration of that glorious event, it is contemplated to impart to the Celebration an unusual degree of Joy and Splendor. May 26th.

FIRE.- On Tuesday night last, the dwelling-house and barn of Mr. ISAAC EDDY, in Macedon, were totally destroyed by fire, together with all their contents excepting some of Mr. E.'s most valuable papers and money. we have not heard the particulars, but understand it was with much difficulty that several members of the family were rescued from the devouring element. The house was a valuable one, having but recently been finished, and the barn was well stored with the fruits of the husbandman; Mr. Eddy's loss must therefore be very great.

An alarm of fire was heard in this village night before last, proceeding from the Eagle Hotel; but fortunately, before material damage was sustained, the fire was extinguished. It is supposed that the fire originated from a stove pipe in the kitchen part of the house.

Ontario Female Seminary.- The School in this institution will commence on the first day of next month, agreeably to the notice of the Trustees; and from the number of applications already made for the admission of pupils, and the disposition manifested to encourage it, the happiest results may be expected to the important cause of female education, which justly excites so much interest in the community.- Ontario Repos.

Drowned in Cayuga.

Fatal Results of a Fishing Excursion - The Body Recovered.

Cayuga, June 14.- Two strangers hired a boat here Thursday and went fishing. They were seen at Bull's Grove, later in the day, one of them remaining at the Grove. The other went out alone. Nothing has been seen of him since. Friday morning, Captain Hamilton, of the tug Cummings, making an early trip up the lake, picked up a boat which was upside down, containing fishing tackle, oars and a bag of fish attached to the boat. The bag was marked, "Ben Haynes." The missing man is supposed to be Ben Haynes of Alloway, a small place about four miles west of Lyons. A party came here Sunday are are looking for the body, but up to the present writing I have not heard the result of the search.

The Body Found.

Cayuga, June 16.- Early this morning Luther Durr watchman at the drawbridge discovered a body floating near the bridge. He secured the same by tying the shore. The body was recognized as that of Ben Haynes of Alloway N.Y., by a person who was acquainted with him. Body is now waiting coroner's inquest.

A very serious accident occurred at the home of Thomas Jeffery about three miles north of Marion yesterday morning. His son Walter, a boy of about 15 years, was sitting on the front of a threshing machine which had just been started up to put it in running order. The feed board was not in position and as the boy was dangling his feet in front of the cylinder the teeth caught his pantaloons and his left leg was drawn into the machine. William Croucher, an experienced engineer was running the engine, and hearing a scream he pulled the lever to stop the engine, reversing the motion of the cylinder as he did so, which allowed the boy's foot to be released. The leg was badly lacerated and the heel terribly torn. Drs. Halsted and Richards were speedily summoned and it was thought the leg could be saved. Mr. Croucher felt very badly though not at all to blame, and said that in his many ears of threshing he had never had so serious an accident occur about a machine.

From the Geneva Gazette, 5 January 1894 (Geneva NY)

The Repository Messenger recalls an interesting romance, albeit one out of the ordinary run. Half a century ago Amelia Folsom, said to be a cousin of Oscar Folsom, was one of the belles of Palmyra. She was handsome and accomplished, and a young farm hand named Young ardently courted her. He was repulsed by her father, and it was not till after the latter's death years afterward and when Young had become the celebrated head of the Mormon church and already had a dozen wives, that he stopped at his early home and married his first choice. She became his favorite wife and lived in Salt Lake City at the house known as "Amelia's palace." Since Brigham's death his thirteenth widow has lived quietly, and, it is said, still retains traces of her former beauty.

New 10/10/03  Here's a nice long bio contributed by Lisa Slaski, Hamilton County NYGenWeb coordinator, from the book "Rochester and Monroe County, New York: Pictorial and Biographical," New York: The Pioneer Publishing Co. 1908. Several of our site visitors are Roe family descendants.

JOSEPH B. ROE

Joseph B. Roe is now living retired on the Roeside farm in the town of Penfield, Monroe County, after many years of active and successful connection with business interests. He was born upon the farm where he now resides June 27, 1842. His father, Joseph Brewster Roe, Sr., was born in Long Island, New York, and in Butler, Wayne county, this state, was married to Charlotte Wisner, a daughter of Moses Wisner, who was one of the early settlers and pioneer farmers of Wayne county. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Roe were born seven children but the subject of this review is the only one now living. The father followed farming in Wayne county until 1835, when he removed with his wife and two oldest children to Monroe county, purchasing the farm Roeside upon which his son and namesake is now living. In 1845 he removed to the village of Penfield, where he engaged in the milling business for some years. He then removed to Rochester, where he remained for three years, after which he returned to the old farm, where he died in March, 1858, at the age of forty-eight years. His widow long survived him and died at the home of our subject in Detroit, Michigan, in 1891, at the age of seventy-eight years.

In the common schools of Penfield township, Joseph B. Roe, of this review, acquired his early education, which was supplemented by study in the Penfield Academy. For five years following the time when he became twelve years of age he spent the summer months in taking cream to a confectioner in Rochester and in carrying other market products to that city. At the age of sixteen he was left fatherless and the management of the home farm devolved upon him and his older brother Jerome. When eighteen years of age he was obliged to abandon farm work on account of ill health and went to Brantford, Ontario, where he entered the employment of an uncle, being engaged in the selling of fanning mills to the farmers. After a few months, however, he returned to Monroe county, and secured employment in Moulson's provision store in Rochester, but, after a brief period, he identified himself with the nursery business, with which he was connected for three years, delivering and selling nursery stock. For the succeeding three years Mr. Roe conducted the old farm, as his brother had married and left the place.

On the 4th of June, 1867, occurred the marriage of our subject to Miss Maria Allen, of Williamson, Wayne county, New York. For a few years after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Roe resided on the home farm and then went to Michigan, where Mr. Roe became a member of the firm of F.W. Beers & Company in the publication of county atlases. In 1874 he removed to Portland, Michigan, where for fourteen years he was one of the firm of Maynard, Allen & Company, bankers of that city. He also engaged in general grain and produce business for six years as a member of the firm of Maynard & Roe, and on the expiration of that period he purchased his partner's interest and continued in the grain business alone for eight years, carrying on a more extensive trade in grain and produce than any other dealer in that portion of the state. He would buy any thing which the farmer raised and could sell him anything he wanted to buy. In 1875 he became a member of the Detroit Board of Trade, but in 1887 he had to abandon the grain business on account of ill health. He never expected to be again able to enter commercial circles, but after recuperating in northern Michigan for a year he sold out his banking interests and removed to Detroit, where he be came engaged in the grain and commission business, becoming one of the best known representatives in the state; in fact, the name of J.B. Roe was known throughout Michigan and he met with excellent success in his undertakings, but in June, 1900, he retired from business, owing to ill health, and returned to the farm. He leases his land, but still makes his home at the old place, in the enjoyment of a well earned rest. In politics Mr. Roe is a Democrat, and socially he is connected with the Masonic fraternity, belonging to both the blue lodge and chapter.

Unto Mr. and Mrs. Roe have been born two children: Helen Orrena, who died in 1880, at the age of five years; and J. Etheleen, who is the wife of Herbert F. Caswell, of Portland Michigan. Mr. Caswell is one of Portland's successful business men, being manager and treasurer of the Verity Caswell table manufactory of Portland. Mrs. Caswell is of a literary turn of mind, being prominent in all church work and president of the literary organization of the place. They have two children, Orrena Frances and Mildred Roe.

Mrs. Roe was born August 6, 1845, in Williamson, Wayne county, New York. Her father was Peters Allen, a prosperous farmer of that place, having removed there in his early manhood from Dutchess county, New York. He died at the age of fifty-five. Mrs. Roe's mother bore the maiden name of N. Jane Maynard and was a native of Williamson, New York. She gave her hand in marriage to Mr. Allen in 1840 and survived him many years, passing away in 1906, at Roeside, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roe, at the advanced age of eighty-five. They had but two children, their son being Captain E.M. Allen, a banker living in Portland. Mrs. Roe received her early education in the common schools of the township, passing there to Marion Collegiate Institute, Wayne county, New York, and then to Brockport Collegiate Institute, Monroe county, New York, graduating from the latter in 1864 as valedictorian of her class. Upon moving to Portland, Michigan, she became one of the charter members organizing the Ladies' Literary Club of the place and was its first president. Her influence was widely felt in the Methodist Episcopal church to which she and Mr. Roe belonged, she being president of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society and organizer of the Mission Store under the management of the Ladies' Aid Society of said church. Upon moving to Detroit she still continued her church work, having a bible class of young married people, numbering seventy-two, and also for many years was corresponding secretary of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of Detroit district. Voluntarily she took up hospital visitation and for three years hardly missed her weekly visits to the patients, carrying flowers and reading to them. For many years Mr. and Mrs. Roe had a summer home at Bay View in northern Michigan, the Chautauque of the west, and had been identified with the literary and educational work there. In 1897 Mrs. Roe accepted the position of field secretary of the Bay View Reading Circle and was instrumental in organizing a large number of literary circles in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Upon retiring to the old homestead, Roeside, she was made secretary of New York state and many circles in the state look to her as their organizer. Mrs. Roe is at this writing an invalid, but, by her pen, still continued to some extent in her literary work.
