SUICIDE OF MRS. TINKER OF LYONS
WIFE OF THE METHODIST PASTOR THERE
MIND AFFECTED BY GRIEF
Mrs. Tinker Had Been in Poor Health
for Several Days - Inhaled Illum-
inating Gas While Her Husband
Was Absent From the House.
Lyons, Feb. 14- Mrs. Sarah Jeanette Wright Tinker, wife of Rev. Dr. Ezra S. Tinker, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church of this village committed suicide between 7 and 7:30 o'clock this morning in her bedroom in the Methodist parsonage. Mrs. Tinker had not been well since Friday, apparently suffering with symptoms of grip. She had not called a physician but had remained at home, and in her room, employing home remedies and under the constant care of her husband.
After attending to her at hourly intervals during the night, more because she was nervous and restless than on account of any pain or suffering or alarming symptoms, Dr. Tinker left the house at 6:36 this morning to go to breakfast at Mrs. Kellar's boarding house on Phelps street where he and Mrs. Tinker had taken their meals since coming to LYons last fall. At 7:30 he returned and on opening the door was assailed with an almost overwhelming odor of gas. Going into the parlors he examined the fixtures in both rooms and found them all right.
Mrs. Tinker's bedroom opened off the living room and not noticing that her door was closed he called to her, asking if she knew where the gas was leaking. Getting no reply he opened her door and found Mrs. Tinker sitting in a ch air beside her bed with one end of a gas robe (?) over the fixture, the other end held in her stiffened hand close against her bared chest. She was dead and an examination made by Dr. M. A. Veeder, who was instantly called proved that she had killed herself immediately after her husband's departure. The gas robe (?) she used had been taken by her from the table lamp in her husband's study the moment he had left the house.
A Series of Afflictions.
Dr. TInker, and every one who knew his exteemable wife, feel assured that the suicide mania with which she was seized is the direct result of a series of afflictions, such as few are called upon to bear. In November, ____, during Dr. Tinker's pastorate in the First Methodist Church in Portland, Me., the family was visited by a scourge of diphtheria. There were eight cases of the disease in the home at one time; all of them of the most virulent type. When the quarantine was raised at the end of two months there had been five deaths, tree of the victim being Dr. and Mrs. Tinker's children, aged 15, 13 and 10 years, respectively. Mrs. Tinker herself was left in such a state of ___ depression after these fatalities that for nine successive year thereafter, Dr. Tinker said she was afflicted with diphtheria at the exact period of the year in which the epidemic had occurred.
He said that although she would suffer with every symptom of diphtheria and the house would be quarantined for a number of weeks regularly, the examination of a culture from her throat never revealed any diphtheria bacillus and the disease was considered to have arisen sympathetically.
Added to these afflictions Mrs. Tinker was called upon to part with her youngest son, seven years ago. The boy was then a student in college in Delaware and died suddenly from heart trouble which had been brought on by the attack of diphtheria which he had suffered with the rest of the family in Portland, This blow seemed the one afflection (sic) too much for the bereaved mother and though she seemed cheerful to the acquaintances she had made since coming to Lyons, her husband says she grieved constantly over the loss of her children.
Mr. Tinker's Resignation.
Dr. Tinker assumed the pastorate of the Methodist Church here only last October. Early this year his resignation was accepted and he announced that owing to a desire on Mrs. Tinker's part to be near her only remaining child, he had accepted a call to the State Street Methodist Church in Bristol, R.I. It was his intention to preach his first sermon to his new charge on the first Sunday in April, but he says now his plans are all at sea as he doesn't know that he will go there at all.
Mrs. Sarah Jeanev___ Wright Tinker was born in Dundee, N.Y. in 1848. Her father was Dr. Samuel H. Wright, of Dundee, and later of Penn Yan, one of the most distinguished ho___ists and mathematicians in the country. His death occurred last October, just as Mrs. Tinker was leaving her home in Syracuse, Dr. Tinker's last charge, as _____. Her mother was Joanna McLean, of New York a descendant of one of the most prominent Methodist families in the country, and a sister of the mother of William ___ and Justice Arthur E. Sutherland, of Rochester.
Doctor and Mrs. Tinker were united in marriage by Rev. Dr. Andrew Sutherland in Dundee, in October, 1865. Dr. Tinker's parishes previous to 189_ (?) were in New England, Delaware and Rhode Island. Since then he has had charge of the Methodist church in Towanda, Pa., of the Brown Memorial Church in Syracuse and of the Methodist Church in this village. THe only surviving child of Mrs. Tinker is Berlin W. Tinker, superintendent of public schools in Waterbury, Conn.
Coroner Allen was summoned.

LINCOLN VAN WICKLE HUNG HIMSELF IN BARN
Wealthy Farmer and Prominent Republican of Lyons Committed the Rash Act During Absence of Family - Mild Form of Insanity Cause.
Lincoln Van Wickle, one of the best known young men in the town of Lyons, committed suicide during a fit of insanity, Sunday afternoon, by hanging himself from a beam in the barn with a piece of clothesline. The act was committed while the other members of the family were in Arcadia attending a funeral.
Deceased was the eldest son of the late J. Gardner Van Wickle, one of the pioneers of Wayne county, who amassed a fortune, built and lived in the finest farm residence in Wayne county, and died some years ago leaving a lot of a farms, aggregating 504 acres, in the richest farming lands in West Lyons. Deceased was about 48 years of age, unmarried, and is survived by a mother, brother, George, and sister, Miss Alice, all residents of West Lyons.
J. Gardner Van Wickle, father of deceased, became insane, but the insanity was of a mild type. Deceased was of a very nervous temperament, with a predisposition towards insanity. He had been under the treatment of Dr. Angel in Rochester, but the latter did not consider it necessary to place the patient in an institution. It was not thought that he contemplated suicide.
Some years ago, however, when his father was taken to an an asylum, Lincoln remarked, standing on the front stoop, "I think I will be the next one." Since the decease of his father he had been low spirited, troubled with insomnia and moody. The estate of his father had been left to the children and widow in common, and some time ago Lincoln disposed of his share to the remaining members of the family, thinking it would relieve his mind.
Sunday he did not appear to be different than before. In the afternoon the Patten family drove out to take the Van Wickles to a funeral in Arcadia. All went along except Lincoln.
When the Van Wickle family returned Sunday evening about dusk and George Van Wickle went into the stable, he found upon opening the second stable door, the hanging form of his brother, Lincoln. It was very evident that the suicide had been premeditated.
Deceased was about 48 years of age and a prominent Republican. He was president of the Republican club at Lyons for some years and had been a delegate to many conventions.

The sixty-seventh wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Burgess was celebrated Monday, December 31, 1917, at their home east of Marbletown. The occasion was made the more interesting for Mr. and Mrs. Burgess by the gathering of their family.
Mr. and Mrs. Burgess were married December 31, 1850, at Phelps, N.Y., and since that time they have lived on the old place at Marbletown, where Mr. Burgess was born March 20, 1825, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Luce Burgess. his boyhood was spent in this vicinity and after his marriage, the union was blessed by three daughters, Mrs. Clara Hooper, Mrs. Eva Cuddeback and Mrs. Ida H. Shephard, all of Phelps.
Mrs. Burgess was born April 18, 1833, the daughter of Aaron Aldrich. She has been "doing her bit" in helping to win this world war and well remembered the trying days of the Civil War. Most of the young women today are past learning to knit, but Mrs. Burgess learned to knit years ago and has kept up the practice more or less ever since, and during recent months she has been helping the Red Cross and has knitted twenty four pairs of socks, in addition to some of the other work. Mr. Burgess has also helped by "keeping the home fires warm and cheerful," while his wife has been helping to make the soldiers comfortable.

DECIDED AS A CASE OF SUICIDE
Inquest in the Death of Charles Allen at Savannah
HE WAS AN EMBEZZLER
Result of the Inquest -
Despondent Over the Loss of Money He took His Life With Morphine -
The Burial
The inquest under the direction of Coroner Chase over the death of Charles Allen, who was found dead in bed at the Goodman house last week, was concluded at Savannah yesterday afternoon. It was brought out by witnesses that the deceased spent some of his time at the home of Alonzo Taylor, east of the village, and that he then gave one Charles Palmer about $5 in money to buy victuals and drink. Palmer did not return with the goods. He left town and has not been seen there since. Allen told several parties that Palmer or some one else had stolen $50 from him. He told the same story to Landlord Goodman and borrowed $2 to procure a warrant for Palmer's arrest. Drs. Sweeting and Williams swore that enough morphine was found in the man's stomach to cause death, and Druggist Sherman testified to selling Allen 100 morphine pills containing about eighteen grains in all of the drug. From two to five grains is a fatal dose. F. M. Douglas, of Red Creek, swore that the deceased had worked his father's farm during the past two years. He had sold $85 worth of live stock and appropriated the money. He also had over $50 earned at his trade of cooper. The loss of his money no doubt led him to take his life, fearing imprisonment, as Douglas is said to have had a good case against him. The following verdict was rendered: "Charles Alfred Allen came to his death by taking an overdose of morphine between the hours of 8 P. M., November 5th, and 8 A. M., November 6th, at the Goodman house, Savannah." Preparations were made to hold funeral services over the unfortunate man at the Savannah Methodist Episcopal Church, on Sunday afternoon, and six soldiers had been selected for bearers, while Rev. C. Herrick was to preach the sermon. The remains were encased in a good cloth covered casket and were decently interred. But on Saturday night the poormaster and Undertaker Brown, of Fair Haven, appeared on the scene, as $35 is allowed by law for the burial of a soldier. The remains were turned over to them Sunday morning, placed in a cheap casket, taken in a wagon to Fair Haven, and interred without his two children (who came to Savannah after the body was gone) being able to gaze on his face, and without religious services. Such was the end of Charles Allen, a hard drinker, an embezzler and a suicide.

THE LATE MURDER OF A BOATMAN- RESULT OF THE EXAMINATION.
An affray occurred on the 9th(?) inst. at Lock Berlin, four miles west of this place, in which a young man by the name of Jerome Shaw, whose parents reside at Lockport, was so injured and beaten with clubs that he died on the 11th. There were two other persons badly injured, one by the name of Thomas Knight, of White Hall, it is thought will die. The facts in the case appear to be from the testimony in the examination, that the boat Patriot was trying to pass the scow boat Texas, to get to the lock first, and the scow endeavoring to keep her back by crowding her to the towing path, and while the boats were along side each other or nearly so, Thomas Knight stepped on to the scow boat for the purpose of pushing the boats apart or for some other purpose, when some words were passed, and he was struck with a club or pole; whereupon the captain of the Patriot went on board the scow, and then there was a general striking of clubs, &c. Jerome Shaw, at this time was in the stere cabin, and had just sat down to his dinner, which on hearing a noise he got up and went out at the cabin window on to the scow, and had scarcely done so when he was knocked down with a club and beaten in so shocking a manner on and around his head that his skull was fractured in many places and a part of it completely beaten in.
We can gather nothing from the testimony showing that the injured men had premeditated an attack, or that they had with them any weapons when they went on board the scow boat. Four of the scow's hands have been held to bail for their appearance at the next term of Oyer and Terminer.
A Coroner's Inquest was held on the body of Jerome Shaw, one of the hands of the canal boat Patriot, of White Hall, in this village on Thursday last. The following was the verdict of the jury: that he came to his death by blows from a club, in the hands of some person belonging to the canal boat Texas.

CLYDE IN THE LONG AGO.
By the courtesy of Mrs. Ward Syron this office is in the possession of a copy of the Clyde Eagle, the forerunner of the Clyde Times, dated May 17th, 1845. This copy contains an article on the early settlement and naming of this village, which may be of interest to our readers. It would without doubt be the more interesting if the contributor's name were given, but unfortunately this was omitted. The article is entitled, "Sketches of Clyde," and reads as follows:
"MR. EDITOR:-- It may not perhaps be uninteresting to many of your readers to peruse the following notes upon the early settlement of Clyde and its vicinity. The author has flattered himself that some little sketch of the kind would be received with favor, and has given a bare outline of his own experience for the last forty years, during which time he has been a constant resident in these parts. He came into this 'western world,' this 'uninhabited wilderness' in the year 1805, and settled within the limits of the present town of Junius, Seneca County, which town then included a vastly larger extent of territory. Seneca County then extended to Lake Ontario and Junius included the present towns of Junius, Waterloo, Seneca Falls and Tyre in Seneca County; Galen, Savannah, Rose, Butler, Huron and Wolcott in Wayne County, of which Clyde is nearly the geographical center. Wayne County was set off from Seneca and Ontario Counties about twenty years ago.
"There were at the time of the author's coming hither, only four small settlements in the above mentioned territory. The earliest was that at Seneca Falls, made by Willhelmus Mynders; the next was in the town of Waterloo, made by John Green, afterwards called the Trip settlement, and now goes by the name of Lundy's Corners. The third settlement was made in Junius by three brothers, bearing the name of Southwick, and the fourth in Tyre by three brothers, by the name of Crane. The number of inhabitants in these settlements were of course very small. Perhaps it would be not far from the truth to compare them to the same number of common school districts of the present day.
"North of the Southwick settlement it was a dense wilderness to Lake Ontario. No one had as yet ventured to wrestle with the forest in this wild region. Now and then a sturdy New Englander, young and full of his characteristic enterprise, while coming to this 'far west,' to plant for himself a home with perhaps a companion to share the fatigue of his journey, would venture even to the banks of our river, exercise his yankee ingenuity in constructing a raft to bear him over and, as evening overtook him, select perhaps some wide-spreading tree, where now the very heart of our village is, for his shelter during the night, and lie down to enjoy the bear's fierce growl and the wolf's bitter cry, till the morning dawned to ease him from his anxiety and ready to see him on his trackless path. There were no marks of civilization near. No rude hut sent up its cheerful smoke to invite the lonely traveler in. It was one dense, continuous ___ of trees.
"Travelers now began to pass quite frequently from the Southern settlements, through this place to Sodus Bay, but it was by no particular road or path; each was guided by his own chart and compass - his eyes and his nose.
"The first house that was erected in this vicinity, was built by Mr. Johnathan Melvin, Jr., about a mile west of the lock, upon the northern bank of the river, in the year 1808. This house, it will be justice to say, was but a rudely constructed shanty. During the next year, 1809, Mr. Melvin built a very good and substantial log house on the south side of the river, on a lot now vacated, directly opposite the residence of Sylvester Clark, Esq. This we may call the first house erected in Clyde.
"At this time, the place went by the name of the Blockhouse and was so called several years. It derived this name from a block house, that was built here by some tories and smugglers, in the time of the Revolution, for the purpose of smuggling goods and provisions to and from Canada. It was situated upon the northern bank of the river, some distance below the mineral spring, where a brook, called from the circumstance, Block House creek, empties into the river. The blockhouse was burned near the close of the Revolution and in a few years the spot grew up with underbrush and trees.
"Emigrants were constantly pouring into this western country, and it was seen that if a connection should be made between the four settlements already mentioned and Sodus Bay, that the whole country around would be greatly increased in value. Accordingly, by the exertions and co-operation of Willhelmus Mynders, Jesse Southwick and Jonathan Melvin, a bridge was built across the river and a road constructed to Sodus Bay in the year 1809. They were the more strenuous to have this connection, because it was then supposed that Sodus would become the great thoroughfare of Western New York. It had already attained a considerable size, was rapidly increasing and, it was supposed by some, that the navigation of the St. Lawrence river would be so improved that, in a few years, ships could sail from the bay at Sodus to any port on the globe. This, however, was considered somewhat visionary by others.
"Several settlers soon planted themselves here and the place was called Lauraville, in honor of a lady, who was a friend of Mr. Mynders. A grist mill was erected in about the year 1818, by Major DeZeng and his son, William S. DeZeng, Esq., now of Geneva. In the year 1820, Sylvester Clark, Esq., opened a store, near the spot where he now lives. The village received an impulse from the improvements, which had been recently made, and business became such as to encourage traders and mechanics to settle here. The river was navigable, and boats came here quite frequently.
"The name of the place was again changed and it was called Clyde, by the request of Mr. MacNab, from the River Clyde in Scotland, on whose banks he had resided.
"What remains to be told can be seen by every observer. The rapid growth of Clyde, its lively business and its increasing importance has made a deep impression upon all who have been long acquainted with it. It would be foreign to the subject of the present letter to compare it with other villages around us, but we can say and truly, too, that there is no place, of its age and size in Western New York, which does a more extensive business and is gaining more rapidly in the esteem of the public, than this same village of Clyde.
"Yours, Etc."

Not a Funny Experience.
The Oswego party, consisting of Eugene Gattius (?), Dr. Edwin F. Stewart, Daniel Brewer and William Ferris, whom it was feared had met death on Lake Ontario, have been rescued. They left early in the week for Sodus bay, stopped in Fair Haven and then continued their course. When near Sodus point their engine gave out and left them at the mercy of a heavy sea, the wind blowing from the shore and carrying them out into the lake. They drifted about for nearly two days, without a mouthful to eat. The wind changed its course several times. Three times they were very near their own harbor, but not close enough to make their distress known. At Mexico point they were only about a mile from shore, but could not make any signal heard. They finally drifted down toward Big Sandy, and the life-saving station people discovered that they were in trouble and a tug was sent out for them. Then they were taken to Oswego, nearly famished.
The extensive fruit farm of the Case-Norris Company in Sodus was sold yesterday under mortgage foreclosure on the court house steps in Lyons. The property was secured by George Yeomans for $9,500. The farm consists of 100 acres.
Bert Hamer, an employee on the farm of Charles Lane, a short distance west of Lyons, was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Freshour in Lyons yesterday, charged with assault in the third degree on the person of William Sheerin, a fellow farm hand. The assault was the result of a wrangle over which of the two men was doing the most work. Hamer pleaded not guilty, and an adjournment was taken for two weeks.
The town board and voters of Palmyra are debating the question of putting in the United States voting machines, to be used at the various elections in that village. A machine is now on exhibition in one of the business places in Palmyra, and will remain there the rest of the week, thus giving the voters a chance to inspect its workings. The putting in of these machines would necessitate the redistricting of the town, and instead of four the town would be divided into two districts.
Invitations have been received in Lyons to the reception following the wedding of Miss Elizabeth Dunning and Harry L. Averill, both of Palmyra. The bride-elect is the daughter of Mrs. Csar (sic) Dunning, and the prospective groom is the son of E. J. Averill, editor and publisher of the Palmyra Courier. The wedding will be celebrated on the afternoon of une 27th, at the residence of the bride's mother, a short distance south of Palmyra. The Rev. Mr. Cameron, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Palmyra, and the Rev. Mr. Walkley, rector of the Episcopal Church, will unite in performing the ceremony, which will be witnessed only by the immediate friends and relatives of the contracting parties. In the evening a reception with dancing will be tendered the newly-married couple.

How It's Done in Lyons
The story comes from Lyons that a merchant collected a $30 grocery bill of a liquor dealer in a novel way. The grocer had made several demands for his money, but could not separate the man from his roll. Sunday morning the grocer and a clerk stopped into the liquor dealer's pace and bought a pint of whiskey, paying 75 cents. During the next few hours it gradually dawned on the liquor dealer that he had put himself in an exceedingly embarrassing position. He took counsel, went to the grocer, inquired the amount of his bill, paid $20 on account and squared the balance before sundown. He also got the bottle of whiskey back. The cork had not even been drawn.

The Andrus Family.
The following is from a Pittsford subscriber:
Mrs. Milliman:-
I have been reading in your Fairport Herald, and saw the name of Mrs. Nellie J. Andrus with Mrs. Carrie S. Fritts in a card of thanks.
I was interested in Mrs. Andrus' name. Many years ago my father, Daniel Andrus, left Deleware (sic) Co. and came to western New York,
and settled on a 40-acre farm now owned by a descendent of James Ransom. The farm is now known as the Andrus farm. When my father left
Deleware county, he left a large family of Andrus boys and girls. Only a few people spell the name "Andrus." That is why I would like to become
acquainted with Mrs. Nellie J. Andrus.
Perhaps if you would send this to the Fairport Herald I might hear from them and be able to trace the genealogy of the Andrus family.
The brother who passed away recently was in his 89th year. One of my brothers died in the 95th year of his age. Had been in the Civil war as deputy sheriff. His name was Justus D. Andrus. My brother, Joseph, was 93 when he died. I am the last of my father's family. There is a family of Andrus now in Deleware county. My father was in the war of 1812. If I hear from Mrs. Nellie J. Andrus, I can give a long list of Andrus boys in Weeping Water, Neb.
Yours truly,
Hannah C. Andrus Geare.

LOCATING CAR BARNS.
Several Villages in Strong Competition For Them.
Since the Rochester, Syracuse & Eastern car barns at Newark were burned there has been considerable agitation in some of the towns down the line to secure the new barns, and it is understood that the location will be selected within a few days.
The officials of the road no doubt will not overlook the advantages of Fairport as a convenient location, and it is understood that the company has ample ground for them just west of the village near the West Shore underground crossing. The traffic is much heavier at this end of the route, much heavier at this end of the route, and the location of the barns here, would obviate many long runs for early morning cars.
It is said that there is strong competition between Newark, Lyons and Clyde to get the barns, which mean considerable added business for the successful contestant.
Newark is putting forth strong effort to retain the barns. Clyde, which is twelve miles to the east and about midway on the line of the R.S. & E., is using the argument that its locations makes it the natural operating point, and hence the logical site for the new structure. The barns were built at the Newark location before the road was operated east of Clyde, the road having been built in successive links, beginning with the Rochester-Fairport section.
It is probably that the barns will be of larger capacity than the former structure, the traffic of the line having increased greatly since completion. In addition to heavy passenger travel a large volume of express matter is handled. The Newark barns were of wood, but it is probable that the new buildings will be of a more substantial type of a construction.
DEATHS
John F. White passed away at his home on North Main st. Friday morning. He had been in failing health some years from heart trouble, and the end came as the gradual going out of a candle, the heart action gradually growing weaker until it ceased altogether.
Mr. White was born in the Midlands, now Montezuma, Cayuga county, June 5, 1848. His early years were passed in that locality, and later he came to Penfield, and for 13 years worked the George W. Clark farm. He then came to Fairport, about 15 years ago, and since that time worked on the Col. S.P. Howard farm south of the village, and also in the DeLand works. He later purchased a little place northwest of the village, which he sold to James Newman, and of late has resided on North Main st., at the corner of East ave.
He married Miss Minnie Hames of this village Dec. 24, 1874, who with one daughter, Clara E., survive. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the house, Rev. D.J. Torens, pastor of the Congregational church, officiating, and interment was made in Oakwood cemetery, Penfield.

The current, as we understand, will be decidedly lower in price than that which we are receiving at the present time, but whether or not we will receive twenty-four hour service through this medium, we cannot learn. During a few hours in the early morning the current is off the trolley lines. At any rate, we will have a municipal lighting plant and the earnings of the plant will go to help defray the village expenses. -Macedon Newsgatherer.

GETTYSBURG.
Reunion Strengthens Tie Between the North and the South.
The editor of the Herald has received a letter from his father, O.P. Miner, of Cortland, a member of the 76th Regiment, who attended the reunion at Gettysburg, and believing that it represents the prevailing sentiment of the veterans regarding the reunion we give herewith extracts from it.
"Yesterday at 9 a.m. I left Gettysburg, arriving home at midnight. I would not have missed going for a good deal. One can learn more of the correct positions of our troops and the lines of battle in an hour or two of personal inspection than by reading pages of history. Monuments and markers are erected, even in the woods, showing where officers fell and where the different corps, brigades and regiments were placed.
"The breastworks built by our men right through the woods for their defense are plainly visible. Cannon made entirely from iron, wheels and all, stand on concrete on the very spot where cannon stood during the battle belching forth shot and shell. This applies to the different commands of the Confederates and to the batteries in the rear of PIcket's men just before his charge as well as to the Federal.
"On Cemetery hill is erected a high tower, from the top of which, reached by stairs, one has a view of the battlefield from the Round Tops to Culp's hill. Some time you should visit this greatest battlefield of this continent.
"The general government and some of the states did themselves honor in arranging for this reunion of the Blue and the Gray, which in my judgment will bind together the North and the South more firmly than anything else could do.
"I met and talked with many of the Confederates and invariably they were glad that the result was as it was. One intelligent veteran from North Carolina, who, by the way, is a Progressive, and voted for Roosevelt, said this was the general feeling in his section.
"We had plenty of good and wholesome food, such as meat, potatoes, bread, hard tack, tea and coffee, etc. On the Fourth for dinner they gave us good and well cooked chicken and ice cream with the rest. The water was good and pure. I had two or three drinks from Spangler's spring, where 50 years ago both 'Yanks' and 'Johnnies' quenched their thirst at the base of Culp's hill. Good paved streets have been built through the battlefields, woods and all."

WEST WEBSTER.
On July 4th between 40 and 50 of the Peet family gathered at the home of J.C. Peet on the Ridge road to celebrate the centennial of the farm coming into the Peet family. Among the relics to be seen were the original deed transferring 203 acres and 69 rods of land from Daniel Penfield and Mary, his wife, to Samuel Peet. This property was later divided between the two sons of Samuel Peet, Hiram, father of the late Silas C. Peet, and Nelson, the father of the late Mrs. Lucretia Staats. The property coming to the son, Hiram, has been held for these 100 years by one of his descendants, and never but once and then for only a short period, has there been a mortgage against the property.
After a bountiful dinner served on the lawn in front of the house the host of the occasion, J.C. Peet, welcomed his relatives from Michigan and various parts of N.Y. state and then called upon Mortimer S. Peet of Norwich, N.Y., to speak of the past Peets or give the genealogy of the Peet family.
The first Peet of which there is any record was John Peet, who came from Seven Oaks, Kent Co., Eng., to American in 1635. The name has suffered two changes, being spelled first Peat, then Pitt. During this period the well known English statesman, Wm. Pitt, was a member of the family; then the name was spelled Peet, and has so continued. The family originally settled in Connecticut, but has spread now to all parts of the country. After bringing the line down through two Johns, one David, five Samuels and a Hiram, the grandfather of the present owner of the farm, and telling some anecdotes of the ancestors, the story of the present was taken up by Nelson R. Peet, who in a short spicy speech explained the changes and improvements of the present day in the methods and crops raised and he called upon those present to see to it that the past never be allowed to grow less high. The toastmaster then introduced the eldest son of the eldest son of the next generation to shell out a prophecy of the Peet family, and introduced Sheldon W. Peet, of Lockport, N.Y., who in a very happy and witty manner told what was to be expected of the future Peets. A duet by James C. Peet, secretary and Robert L. Peet followed and was much enjoyed by all present.
The afternoon was spent in visiting and games and in trying to keep cool until the high wind came up and cooled the atmosphere.
Austin Peet of Battle Creek, Mich., whose boyhood home was at the corner of the Ridge and the West Hatch road, is visiting relatives and friends in Webster and West Webster.
