Notes:

In 1774, at the age of 10, David was a member of William Billings' Sacred Music School in Stoughton, David is listed under the heading,"Singers of Counter."(possibly todays equivalant of Alto). By 1786 he was a member of the Stoughton Musical Society.

David was a charter member of the Rising Star Lodge F. & A.M Dec 1799 and present at the first meeting in Stoughton,Mass in January 1800 (also present was Paul Revere) where he was elected Senior Deacon. Today it is one of the oldest Masonic Lodges in Massachusetts.

1800 census of Canton, MA (formed from Stoughton in 1797) shows David (26-44) with one male under 10, one male 10-15, three females under 10, and one female 26-44.

David moved to Vermont about 1810, from Canton, MA where he was a farmer, along with his brother, Elisha (also from Canton).

1810 census of Chittenden, Rutland Co., Vermont shows David with two males under 10, one female under 10, two females 10-15, and female 26-44.

1820 census of Pittsford, Rutland Co.,Vermont shows David (45 and over), one female 10-15; one female 16-25; one female 45 and over (Eleanor).

1830 census of Pittsford, Rutland Co.,Vermont shows David (60-69), one female 20-29 and female 60-69 (Eleanor).

In the fall of 1831 he moved with his wife and widowed daughter, Lucy (and two children), to Fredericktown, Ohio where his children Samuel, David, and Azuba already resided. Not clear if they made it to Fredericktown before the death of their son, David. Appears several family members died between 1830 and 1832.

David was appointed Guardian of his son David's children. Court records in Knox County (Box 11, #273) receipts were submitted by David Sr. between 1834 and 1839Oct31 for purchases (shoe repairs, clothes, schooling, etc.) for Eliza and Timothy. In Oct1834 paid taxes on a schoolhouse he built in District No.1 on the property of his son, David Jr. Those expenses were approved 22Oct1840 by the court. No other guardian receipts noted. As guardian in 1837(20Feb) sold at auction property belonging to the heirs of his son, David Jr.
In June 1842, Timothy Burr and Absolom Thrift were appointed guardians of Timothy B. Wadsworth aged 16 (Eliza was over 18 at that point), which leads us to conclude that David Sr most likely died that year or before (most likely 1840).

1840 census, not found in Knox County, Ohio.

History of Knox Co., Ohio (N.N. Hill, 1881), page 268
"There was an enemy in Mexico more dreaded by our soldiers than the Mexicans. It was the tarantula. The tarantula belongs to the family of the spider. In Italy it is comparatively small and not esteemed dangerous; but in Mexico it attains a size that an ordinary pint cup would scarcely cover. The back and legs are covered with a long hair of a reddish color, and the eyes project from its head. One morning T. Burr Wadsworth, a solidier in Kenton's company, called at the hospital and complained at what appeared to be a carbuncle on his cheek. Surgeon Trevitt told him that it was not sufficiently ripe to lance, but applied some lotion.
A few hours later Wadsworth returned, with his face and head badly swollen. Trevitt applied the lance, pouring ammonia on the wound. In the meantime a large tarantula was found in Wadsworth's blankets. Stupor set in; the poor fellow died, and company B had to mourn the loss of one of its best soldiers."

He failed to rally and his condition became critical during the night.

Mr. Trine´s career as a banker is that store of his rise from bank janitor and messenger boy to the president's office over a period of 39 years. The bank closed two years after he became president, due chiefly to depreciation of farm values, but when the receivership was closed for yours later, the depositors had been paid 90.214 percent of their money.

And served in that capacity until Dec 13, 1889. When P.S. Balch became cashier and Mr. Trine was made assistant cashier.

Mr. Tine was advanced to the position of cashier of the bank, Jan 20, 1914 and on June 23rd was elected vice president on the death of George A. Turner. He succeeded to the presidency on the bank May 19, 1924 following the death of A. F. Balch.

During his 41 years of service with the bank he saw its deposits grow from $78,000 to more than $1,000,000.

A 1955 Hornell Tribune newspaper with Lloyd Burdett spoke about his 1936 city clerk job as he was on the cusp of becoming Hornell mayor. His journals talk about that time, Lloyd only served about a year as Mayor, mostly due to health issues he battled frequently towards the latter end of his life. He spent a chunk of that term in and out of the hospital, so much so it became a familiar place where he knew many people.

Lloyd and Sylvia lived at 45 Fulton St. in Hornell and he had a radio service repair there - there was one sign in front of their house and another identical one around the back; Lloyd would often get customers just knocking at his back door. He writes in his journals about starting radio service as a hobby and learning more from others (including his cousin Murray Burdett).

Lloyd was quite handy in his day, like many Burdett's. He seemed to have a knack for multiple crafts like carpentry, something he said his father, George, and grandfather, Paul were good at as well (in addition to Paul's interests in inventing).

Eulogy for Beatrice K. Smith August 8, 2000
Rev. Richard R. Hubbard

Dear family and friends, we gather here this afternoon to celebrate the life of Beatrice Smith. We give thanks to God that hers was a long and rich life, busy and active until the end. She and her husband, Herman, can rest easy that they leave a living legacy of their three daughters, Dorothy, Marian and Nancy, and their husbands and eleven,
grandchildren, twenty great grandchildren and nine great-great-grandchildren'. From a biblical perspective, they were truly blessed.
I am thankful that when I first met Bea, she was very much alive. Indeed, her vigor and wit seemed to belie her age. I had been warned that Bea could be a "woman of strong opinions". One would need to be to make it to 96, still full of vigor and vitality. My impression, at the end was that the time had come. She had lived her life as fully as possible, for as long as possible. Neither age nor immobility dampened her interest in life and those around her. Her vitality alone should inspire us when we start to feel older and tiered...
I asked the family for some help in telling the story of her life. She grew up on the family farm in Hornell. One can only guess at the changes she saw around her over the course of her lifetime, from horse and buggy to automobiles, from wood stoves to electric range, yet with others of her generation she took it in stride. With five brothers and two sisters, she never lacked for company, though privacy was probably hard to come by.
She married Herman Smith, a mold maker at Ingersoll Rand, in 1922. They had four children, Dorothy, Marian, Nancy and Clair. Clair, the only son, died in the early 1970's. We pray that he is now gathered with his mother and father in that heavenly mansion.
I was told that Bea was quite a baker, who as a homemaker, augmented the family income by baking bread and rolls every Friday, and never had any left over. She also took in washings to help, and being a farm girl and one of eight children, was no stranger to hard work. After her children were grown, she worked at the Corning Hospital laundry, retiring in 1968. And through the years in Painted Post, she was an active and dedicated member of the Methodist Church. Rev. Jack Bunde, the Chaplain at Coming Hospital, said Bea always faithfully attended his services, and loved to sing hymns (which proves she was a real Methodist at heart).
It was hard for her to leave her home. Is it ever easy for anyone? To leave behind a lifetime of memories, the scene of so many of the chapters of one's life. But change is always a part of our lives. We are all sojourners on a journey of life and time.
She moved to Green Meadows, where she enjoyed playing cards, hopefully not on Sundays. (Smile. I'm joking.) She enjoyed visiting with the friends and especially appreciated that her granddaughter, Janice Montgomery, worked there and woke her up each morning.
After breaking her ankle and time at Arnot Ogden and Coming Hospitals she moved to Founders Pavilion, where she needed rehabilitation. She made progress, but now needed a wheelchair. Some people might have given up, or withdrawn, but not Bea. She kept as busy as ever and enjoyed playing checkers and games with Randy Dann. I am told that on a trip to Niagara Falls, he introduced her to a group of men as Miss America 1918. From what I hear she gave as good as she got. She was alert, very much alive.
She enjoyed visiting with family and friends. She kept busy knitting, crocheting and, of course, playing cards and checkers. Reportedly she hated to lose, but that's true of most of us. We'd rather win than lose, at the games we play. I think it would be fair to say Bea loved the playing as much as the winning, the fun, the friendship and fellowship that games can provide.
We all have our favorite foods and hers was maple walnut ice cream. It would be nice if the next time you have maple walnut ice cream you think of Bea, a reminder, a remembrance of a life rich in the things that truly matter; family, friends and faith.
Time for family remembrance
It is hard to say good-bye to those we love, to let them go, to leave them in God's hands. But surely Bea's life was rich and blessed, full to the very end. So, this afternoon I ask that you remember the life and love you shared, your times together, your shared joy and laughter as well as hurts and sorrow. None of us are perfect. We do the best we can, and some things we may do better than others. Now is the time to remember the best of Bea's life: her love of life, her love of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, her friends at Founders, Green Meadows, Corning Hospital, Painted Pos, her faith that gave her hope, strength and the courage to carry on faith and as active on our lives as she was in hers.
Let us pray. Almighty God, we give you thanks for the life of Beatrice Smith, for the life and love she shared with her family and friends, for her force of will and vitality of life, for long years and rich memories. Amen.

Beatrice married Herman Winfield Smith on 15 Jul 1922 in Steuben County, New York. Herman (son of James T.

She was an avid Contract Bridge player, a worker of crosswords puzzles and a woman who never tired of reading, weather it was poetry for her own enjoyment or reading to children to broaden their outlooks.

Notes:

At the time of his registration for World War I draft, Wayne was living with his mother in Garrison, North Dakota and working as Superintendent of Schools for the Garrison School District in North Dakota. The draft card also noted that he was physically disabled, this was dated Jun 5, 1917 and he died less than 3 months later back in his hometown of Centerville, SD.

Newspaper article from the Fargo Forum, dated Sep 4, 1917, states that Garrison school will open Sept 24 and M.A. Tollefson "has been engaged as principle to succeed Prof. W. M. Allen, who resigned because of ill health" - apparently, they were not aware that he died a few days prior. Per his draft card info of being physically disabled, we can assume then at young age study a lot and became a teacher and up to Superintendent versus following his father's lumber business. Not able to learn what his disability was.
