  Notes	Zachary was educated at Canandaigua Academy and at Lima Seminary. He always followed farming. He built his residence in 1883 a half mile south of the old homestead and commands a fine view of the lake and rural scenery(even today). Zacariah Briggs passed, away at his home on the corner of Briggs and Lake Streets Friday afternoon. Mr. Briggs had been in poor health for the past year but had gradually grown worse for the last few weeks. He was the son of Cyrus and Emeline McMichael Briggs and was born in Honeoye February 13, 1849. Mr. Briggs was married to Analiza Sleight of East Richmond in Detroit October 25. 1871. Mr. and Mrs. Briggs lived the early part of their married life on a farm on the west side of Honeoye Lake, which was still owned by Mr. Briggs and occupied by his son, Harry, and family. Mr. Briggs retired from farm several years ago and moved to the village to live and a few years ago purchased the George Ashley house, where he passed away. Besides the widow he is survived by two sons, Irving of Rochester and Harry of Honeoye, and two grandchildren. The funeral was held from the home Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. The Rev. G. E. Henshaw officiated, and interment was in Lake View cemetery. Honeoye, Dec 24, 1924*** (The Livonia Gazette, Livonia, NY, Friday, December 26,1924)
