Notes:

In Petersburg, Rennselaer Co., NY 1810 and 1820 census.

Justus and his wife, Sarah, of Petersburg, purchased land there in January 1813 from Job Green and in 1822 sold the same land to Silas Allen.

May have lived a short time in Chenango Co., NY before moving to West Almond, Allegany Co., NY in 1825 (census there 1830, 1840).

Justus and wife, Honor, bought 36 acres in West Almond 23Mar1848 from Mary Ann Burdick (w/o William), then in June sold the same land to his son Alvin. Interestingly, William Burdick came to Almond in 1821 from RI after a short time in Chenango Co.,NY. Not sure the connection or if there is a connection there??

Notes:

The Justus Stewart, Jr. was Chester Stewart Jr. in the 1850 census of Almond with wife Adeline. Edward Stewart named in Almond records for Civil War service names his father as "Justis Stewart" This same Edward is shown in cemetery records as Charles E. Stewart(died 1864 age 19 yrs) and 1850 census as Charles E. Stewart (1855 living with the Abram Wyant family as an apprentice).

Justus and Adeline's son, Ira, is found in the 1855 census in Scio, adopted by the Furnald family. So it appears Justus and Adeline may have died before 1855. I don't find any probate record or any record of them after the 1850 census. Nor do I find any record of their other younger children; either they too died or they were adopted and names changed.

Justus married Adaline Green in 1824. Adaline (daughter of Luke Green and Nancy Murphy) was born in Jan 1810 in Alfred, Allegany County, New York; died before 1855 in West Almond, Allegany County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

A TRIBUTE
To Forest L. Stewart
Suddenly our community was saddened by a power beyond human control, which took the life of Forest L. Stewart, My friend, Your friend, and Our neighbor. Leaving his body behind, he journeys on toward immortality and unending existence. Safe from earth's storm and despair—Safe from the rude wind that tossed his floundering bark, now safely moored, his perils over. A man of great patience and heroic courage, well liked by all who knew him for his upright Christian character, integrity, and hospitality. His home never locked to any of his friends who cared to enter. While mentally alert he felt a quickened smart to wounds that had ranked his weakened flesh. He brought us pride and pleasure and left us a pathos of tears, forgetting the tortures of his body, is now lost in the triumph of his soul. Yet the years of our pilgrimage on earth rolls on, while we walk through the wilderness of this world. Life on earth is brief, we come out of the dark, back to the dark, and like a bird, flutter for a moment in the light. All of us that breathe will share that destiny. Thus man and mankind journeys from strength to invalidism, from joy to sorrow, from misery to happiness, and from defeat to victory. At this point we are mindful of the efforts of a faithful and vigilant wife whose promise to watch over in sickness and in health has been fulfilled. We wish it were possible for him who has left us to get one glance at the flowers, the gestures of respect, that adorn his grave and to inhale one breath of the fragrance of the red, the yellow, the blue and those as white as the foam of the wave that carried this neighbor home. Our admiration for this man who never lost his enthusiasm for life will always last and hope will brighten our remaining days and memory will gild the past.
—Daniel W. Ball.

'Mr. West Almond' remembered - Chester Gosper left a legacy of
dedication

WEST ALMOND - Former town highway supervisor Leonard Watson said there was one way to describe Chester "Chet" Gosper, the recently-deceased former highway superintendent - Mr. West Almond. That distinction was one of many glowing ways West Almond residents described Gosper, who served as highway superintendent from 1958-90.

Gosper, who was born on Tuttle Road Jan. 24, 1928, died Monday at his Turnpike Road home, leaving behind many accomplishments. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II and worked at the Erie Railroad and a dairy farm from 1949-58, before beginning a long career as town highway superintendent. Those who knew him say honesty and humor were his greatest traits. Gosper's wife of nearly 57 years, Eleanor Gosper, said West Almond was "Chet's town."

"He was the most honest, truthful person in town," Gosper said Wednesday. "He was just a remarkable person. He never wanted to rile people up. Just simply a great husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was very loving of everyone."

The Gospers were married Feb. 10, 1948 in town hall and would go on to have four children, nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Leonard Watson, a former town board member, began a renovation project this summer in Gosper's name on the 151-year-old former Methodist church and grange on County Route 2 with the help of a large donation by resident Bruce Hitchcock. His decision came after Gosper had been diagnosed with diabetes and had both of his legs amputated. Watson said working with Gosper in the past had been a pleasure.

"Chet would spend many hours sitting in on town board meetings," Watson said. "He was so nervous about how people felt and thinking of ways he could better help the residents. He knew what everyone was thinking, and was so concerned about the taxpayers. Also, he never bought or did anything without the board's approval. He was conservative in his proposals and didn't waste anything ... He was Mr. West Almond."

Eleanor Gosper said her husband always asked to be taken on his wheelchair to see the community center with his name on it, and said he was thrilled with Watson's idea to go through with the renovation in his honor. She said her late husband took the town highway superintendent job in 1958 when the old superintendent became ill.

"He wanted to take the challenge," Gosper said. "At the time, the town wasn't in that great of shape but he helped change it around. He really enjoyed his work. Years ago, during a large blizzard, he helped open a road to Angelica, which he was very proud of. He enjoyed plowing snow and other duties of his job. He took the current highway superintendent (Mike Sherman) under his wing when he worked there and helped him." Gosper's grandson, Chester Gosper IV, said his memories of his grandfather were and always will be warm and caring.

"He was so honest and humorous," said Gosper, a director at Brown & Powers Funeral Home in Hornell, Canisteo and Angelica. "Everyone just loved him. He always had a lot to tell me in his later years and I liked to listen. Even when he lost his legs, he never blamed it on anyone, which is amazing because he was always a person who did everything for other people. He never once lost his sense of humor or personality."

Don Hoffman, the town supervisor, said Gosper suggested he get involved with the town board back in 1985, before becoming supervisor in 1989. "He'd been a fixture in West Almond," Hoffman said. "He was a great guy and was here as long as I can remember. He was well-liked and respected by many people."

In addition to being town highway superintendent, Gosper's wife said he was an active member of the Allegany Highway Superintendents Association and lifelong member of the Almond Rod and Gun Club. He was also an avid hunter and enjoyed barbecues and holidays, especially Christmas, said Eleanor Gosper. She said Gosper had attended Alfred-Almond School until he reached the ninth grade, and said the two had met when she grew up on nearby Jersey Hill Road and they would go sliding down snow hills on sleds as teenagers.

Edith Allen Perished in the Flames at Bolivar This Morning.
Bolivar, Dec 24 - [Special] - Flames broke out in the double dwelling occupied by four families between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning. One part was occupied by families named Dean and Aldenburg and the other half by a family named Burdick and another whose name cannot be learned. It seems to have been caused by an over-pressure gas and was discovered in Burdick's part. All this part was burned, and nothing saved. Edith Allen, a little girl four years old, stepdaughter of the gentleman whose name cannot be learned, perished in the flames. The remains are now at the undertakers. Both fire companies responded promptly to the alarm and did good work saving a house across the street which was twice on fire. There was no insurance so far as can be learned.

IN A STRANGE WAY.
Hobart Allen Falls From Hay Rake—Is Dragged, Kicked by Horses and Dies Shortly.
An inexpressibly sad and unexplainable accident occurred on the farm of George M. Meeder in Orangeville last Thursday morning as the result of which Hobart Allen, the eleven-year-old son of K. Allen lost his life. The lad, whose father is the cheese maker in the factory near Mr. Meeder's, was driving two horses on a hay rake, in the same field in which Mr. Meeder and his son were at work, but the men were not in sight of the boy with the rake and the first thing which attracted attention, was the team going across the field toward the road. Mr. Meeder's son saw them, and after calling to the horses to stop, and he was following them to the barn, some half mile distant, when Miss Nellie Meeder heard his calling and went out and stopped the team. It was then discovered that Hobart Allen had in some way fallen between the two horses and that the inside tug of the near horse was around his body, and though the boy was still living, the kicks received on the back of his head had fractured the skull, and he lived but a short time. The horses were dragging the whiffletrees and the evener, and the tugs were fastened and how the boy got in the position described is past understanding. The rake with the pole broken was in the field. The body was taken to Mr. Meeder's house, and on Saturday was taken to Almond, Allegany County for burial. The boy's mother died a couple of years ago. The father, two brothers and a sister survive. This is Mr. Allen's second season at the factory.

Notes:

Polly(Mary Stanley) graduated from Hornell High School in 1920. She lived with her aunt, Mrs. John Stanley, after the death of her mother in 1905. She was said have had a very tough time as a little girl, living with her mothers family, having to hear about how "improper those Allen's are." Audrey Allen, said that Grandma was not even aloud to play with the neighbor kids because she was an Allen. Grandma never mentioned anything about her father having been Divorced before marring her mother. This was look down upon at the time and may have been why her parents went to Steuben County to get married by a Justice of the Peace. Grandma always spoke highly of her father and of his third wife Edith Jotry. She so wanted to go and live with them, but from what I understand, they were always traveling and it would be no place for a little girl, so she was told.

Notes:

1910 living with his grandfather Andrew Allen in Alfred. Miles was employed by Seymour G. Stewart in West Almond, as a farm laborer, according to the 1920 census of West Almond. He was said, Audrey Pettibone, to have been living with his half-sister, Grace Farnum, in Wellsville at the time of his death. Miles was killed in an oil refinery fire in Wellsville. A story relayed to me by Audrey Pettibone from her uncle(Lionel), who know Miles, said that about every Saturday night there was a dance and one night a deputy sheriff came and caused alot of grief for everyone. The Deputy was apparently not well liked by everyone. Never-the-less, some words were spoken and Miles hit the Deputy with his fist, knocking the Deputy out cold. Miles spent the next three days in jail. Under normal circumstances, Miles could have been fired from his job for such an incident, but his boss kept him on.
