In my mother’s super collection was a Lumberland Centennial booklet, which includes a list of Lumberland Town supervisors from 1798 to 1976. (Click on the image to read.) There are more familiar names in this 1840 census, including Johnston, writer of Reminiscences (which often includes his scathing and judgmental descriptions of the town’s inhabitants); Daniel Van Tuyl; Jacob Stage; my relatives: Fanny Austin and her son’s family Augustus Alonzo Austin; and Abraham Ingersoll, whose wife will eventually be the subject of a post.
Again, some of the names are difficult to discern, in some cases they were left out altogether.

I was happy to receive some “Eldred” photos taken by J. Meyer, grandson of Joseph and Florence Meyer, mentioned in “Farewell to Eldred.”
Does anyone know who owned this house on Steges Road, in 1963? It was empty at the time, and the next house down from Abe Hulse’s little bungalow.
As long as I am asking questions, does anyone know the correct way to write Stege’s Road? Stege Road; Steges Road; Stege’s Road; Steges’ Road; or something different?
Update: I was sent this as the location. Click on the image to make it larger.
