Notes:

ONTARIO COUNTY JOURNAL December 30, 1904 PAGE 2 COL 4 Death of Mortimer Sleght. About midnight on Sunday, at his home on Scotland Road, occurred the death of Mortimer Sleght, a long time and respected resident. Mr. Sleght had been in failing health for several years, and since November had been confined to the home with a complication of heart and kidney troubles. Deceased was born here sixty-six years ago, and most of his life had been spent here. He was a Constable for over twenty years, and was turnkey under Sheriff Robert H. Wheeler. In 1870 he married Harriet L. Scott, of Rochester, who with three sons, Walter S., Francis J., and Carlton M. Sleght, all prominent in the business life of the village survive. One brother, Carlton W. Sleght, of Allen's Hill, also survives. Mr. Sleght wasa a member of Company K, N Y Mounted Rifles, which did valiant service in the Civil War. Funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Lewis Sweet of the Presbyterian church conducting the service. His body was interred 1904 Canandaigua, New York, Woodlawn Cemetery. Section 7 52.

In the 1892 Canandaigua Census he is listed as 54 years of age, a Constable. 1900 Canandaigua Census shows them married 29 years. At the Ontario County Archives in Hopewell, NY, I found a copy of their marriage recorded in 1904 amongst the miscellaneous records. It read as follows, This certifies that on the twenty first day of September, in the year of our Lord 1870,A. Mortimer Sleght and H. Louise Scott were by me united in marriage at East Bloomfield, according to the laws of the State of NY. L. D. Chapin, Minister. Witnesses were H. C. Gilbert and Chas. McKinney. A true copy of the original recorded 30th December 1904. (Harriet Louise Scott is #4263.)

Some humor has come to light concerning the changing of the spelling of the surname. According to a descendant of Mortimer, he sent a letter to his wife Louise explaining that they would change the spelling from Sleight to Sleght because the military had recorded his name as Sleght. Changing their name to Sleght was the only way to collect his pay and pension. The descendant related to me that there was a family joke that he lost an i, a verbal pun for eye, in the Civil War.

Andrew married Harriet Lousie Scott on 21 Sep 1870 in East Bloomfield, Ontario County, New York.

If thou - By and chance couldst break that vow - Of silence at thy last hour made; - If to this grim life unafraid - Thou couldst return, and melt the frost - Wherein thy bright limo's power was lost, - Still would I whisper since so fair - This silent comradeship we share - Yes, whisper ' mid the unbidden rain - Of tears: 'Come not, come not again!'"

Notes:

Gary spent most of his life in the United States Air Force. In addition, he graduated with a degree in history, Russian and pedagogy, and worked as a business teacher for many years after retiring from the military and until moving to Iceland in 1984.

As written by his brother-in-law, Arnþór Garðarsson, and translated through Google translator from Icelandic to English:
"My brother-in-law and friend, Morris Garfield Sleight, was born on December 31, 1927, in Rochester, New York, USA. He died at the oncology ward of Landspítali in Reykjavík on February 27, 2000.
Morris Garfield was usually called Gary, but it had the Icelandic name and was then called Már. Gary and my sister Bergljót were married by Reverend Jón Thorarensen in the Hallgrímskirkja choir on January 15, 1952. They met while both were studying at the University of Syracuse, N.Y. For a long time we remembered the adventure when Gary went after the woman to Iceland in the blackest short day and bad weather, to get married in conditions that were in many ways foreign to him, the country, the weather and folk customs, not least diet and drinking habits. He immediately showed every man he had in mind, a brave and kneeling outdoorsman, a polite companion and pleasant, and above all honest, well-meaning and honest.

For the next few decades, Bergljót lived across the United States, where Gary served in the Air Force, usually for several years in each location, including Texas, Colorado, Alaska, Utah, Wisconsin, and finally in the capital, Washington. He was in Vietnam for one year but the family lived in Iceland and they lived in Germany for a few years. The marriage was successful, though both temperamental and determined.

My brother-in-law was raised in the Catholic faith and sang in church. As a child, he sang in church choirs and always enjoyed singing and classical music. In his later years, after settling in Iceland, he began singing in a church choir again and writing notes for use in singing and was until recently the last active member of the Kópavogur Choir and the Áskirkja Choir in Reykjavík.

Gary was a searching soul, curious about the affairs of the people and foreign lands, and had a great love of languages ​​and literature. Hospitality and helpfulness were instilled in him, and many enjoyed it, both family and well-to-do. After the couple moved to Iceland in 1984, Gary began studying Icelandic and finally mastered the language. Cooking was Gary's hobby and he excelled with precision and genius. He also practiced a variety of sports of passion, skiing, jogging, swimming and golf and never missed an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. The expanse and the weather of Iceland had the heart and soul of this good boy."
