I am beginning to research Samuel Heath RICE, who was the son of Rufus RICE. Samuel was born in Cortland Co., NY 1820 and died in Hornellsville, Steuben Co, NY in 1884. I believe he married Julia A. DECKER and they had seven children. I would like to share what I have and find out if others are researching this RICE family. My particular interest is to trace Samuel's middle name, Heath, to a Samuel HEATH in Washington County, NY where Rufus, Samuel's dad, was born.
Thanks in advance for any help. Don Rice Santa Barbara, CA

GLADDING was an enterprenuer and had several buisinesses in Cortland during at least 1920-1954 or so. There was a caramel shop next to the old Cortland Hotel, a boarding house, possibly a Cadillac dealership. My grandfather was John (died 1930 or so) and my was grandmother Edith GLADDING died 1953). Benjamin Franklin GLADDING started the fishing line business in Cortland. Would anyone up there happen to know where the old GLADDING homestead was (or is) located on Greek Peak? We had a farm and house on the mountain somewhere in 1954. The house was a big white farm house with white board siding and a front porch. There were chicken houses also.
Do you know where I might get a history of the area prior to 1959 when the ski resort began and after all businesses and homes owned by GLADDING were gone??
I am one of the twins born of Edward and Gay GLADDING in 1953 in Cortland Hospital.
Thanks, Julia Gladding

I came across an Edward A. SECAUR from Cortland in my search of the family. Edward is a family name as my grandfather, father and brother go by that name. The Edward in Cortland was born in 1923 and enlisted in the service Jan. 23, 1943. The branch only listed him as for Warrant Officer, though he was a private. Does anyone have any info on Edward A. SECAUR?

In the early 1800s there was a Moses RICE living in Virgil and Moses RICE living in Solon. Both in Cortland County, NY. As I can best understand it the Moses in Virgil was about 10 yrs older than the Moses in Solon. I am reseraching the Moses RICE in Solon, Cortland, NY but would like to know if anyone on this list knows the genealogy of the Moses RICE in Virgil.
Thanks in advance.

Looking for obit information on Diana W (SCRIVEN) ROOT. She was married to Hezekiah ROOT. She is listed as living with her daughter (Jennette) and son-in-law (Charles CLARK) in Preble in 1920. Her daughter died 5 Jan 1924 and is buried in Elmwood Cemetery. Hezekiah died in Apr 1906 and according to his obit in the Syracuse Herald (the funeral was held at the M. E. Church and the burial was made at that place). I don't know what cemetery that is.
I am hoping her obit might shed light on her and her parents.

Aloha from Hawaii. Mele Kalikimaka and Hauoli Makahiki Hou. In 1870, 19-year-old Lyman SMITH, a brother of my grgrandfather was living in Cortlandville, in the home of John STROBRIDGE, and was a "student." As the youngest son of a prosperous miller in rural Monroe Co, it would seem that he was furthering his education at Cortland.
I'm having difficulty finding out what happened to him later on. Any info about the school he was attending -- or anything else that's relevant -- would be really appreciated.
Thanks. David Kayner
