      JOSEPH EMOND HOUSE ON EVANS MILLS HIGHWAY

      In spite of the modern exterior appearance created
      by the comparatively new open and enclosed porches this
      native limestone house owned by T. Bernard Casey and
      wife, Marion Casey, is probably approximately 120 years
      old. It stands on the north side of the Watertown-Evans
      Mills state highway at the east corner of the Sanford's
      Corners-Pamelia road and is believed to have been built
      by Joseph Emond some time after the mid-summer of
      1828.
      Joseph Emond, born in France about 1785 served
      seven years under Napoleon including the peninsular campaign
      of 1813, in which was the battle of Vittorio. He
      came to the United States about 1828 and on August 25
      of that year contracted to buy an estimated 55 acres of
      land in the area where this house is. It is said that he
      immediately set about clearing off the forest and on July
      18, 1835, a deed of the tract was delivered to him by Moss
      Kent, Plattsburgh, from whom he purchased the property.
      He died Aug. 19, 1840, his widow, Marie Adelaide, and
      children surviving.
      A son, John B. Emond, who was born in France in
      1820, is said to have later taken over the farm and increased
      its acreage to a total of 300, becoming a successful
      farmer. His wife was the former Marietta Meeker, daughter
      of Mr. and Mrs. Barney Meeker, and their children
      were John F. and Louis N. Emond, both of whom lived to
      maturity and several years beyond.
      Educated in the common schools of the district John
      F. Emond worked on his father's farm until 1874 when
      he purchased 160 acres of it. To this he later added a
      couple of tracts and became one of the largest dealers and
      pressers of hay in the county. In 1872 he married Matilda
      Spohn and they had one daughter, Mary Belle Emond who
      was twice married: First in 1909 to Walter Lashaw who
      died in 1914; and, second to Anthony Webert in 1916,
      from whom she separated in a few years.
      Her father, John F. Emond, was one of the most
      successful farmers in the town of Leray. He was a
      staunch Democrat but for six years, 1898-1903 inclusive,
      was supervisor of his town. He died April 26, 1909, and on
      Dec. 9, 1912, his widow died. Their daughter, Mary Belle,
      inherited the stone house and farm. When she died Oct.
      25, 1938, the stone house, under the provisions of her will,
      went to the town of Leray to be used as a town library,
      there going with it a bequest of $500 for the purchase of
      books. However, July 5, 1940, the town board passed a
      resolution declining to accept the property on the ground
      that it was in open country too far from villages and
      would cost too much to maintain,
      Anthony Webert, her second husband, died April 30,
      1939, and on July 24, 1941, Walter Webert, Black River,
      his administrator and sole distributee conveyed the stone
      house and about two acres of land to Mr. Casey, the present
      owner, employe of the New York Air Brake company,
      who commutes daily to this city.

      THE JEWETT HOUSE ON ROAD TO EVANS MILLS

      Laurence W. Jewett, young Leray dairyman, owner
      and occupant, of this attractive old limestone house and
      its nearly 188 acres of land on the Watertown-Evans
      Mills state road near the intersection of the Sanford's
      Corners-Pamelia road, has the distinction of residing in
      the same neighborhood where two of his great-greatgrandfathers
      pioneered about 14 decades ago. In fact a
      portion of the farm upon which this house stands was
      bought by his gi'eat-great grandfather, Fayette Herrick,
      from James D. Le Ray de Chaumont 130 years ago and
      his great-great-grandfather, Capt. Ezekiel Jewett, coming
      with Hart and Isaiah Massey and Jonathan Cowan in the
      spring of 1800, was one of the very first settlers of what
      is now Jefferson county.
      Captain Ezekiel Jewett was a veteran of the American
      Revolution and having bought 1,200 acres of land
      from Roswell Woodruff May 31, 1819, Sanford's Corners
      became known as Jewett's Corners and Jewett's School
      House. From that time to this there has been a member
      of this Jewett family among the leading farmers of the
      area, which has also featured a member of the Herrick
      family in the same area, and this house shown above is
      but about two miles from where Captain Ezekiel Jewett
      lived.
      Laurence W. Jewett is a son of Mrs. Blanche E.
      Herrick Jewett and the late Preston E. Jewett, who died
      May 2, 1941, on the nearby homestead farm which had
      been in the Jewett family since 1835. Preston E. Jewett
      was a son of William M. Jewett, grandson of Thomas
      Jewett and great-grandson of Ezekiel Jewett. Mrs.
      Blanche E. Herrick Jewett was a daughter of George W.
      Herrick, who was a son of Houghton Herrick and grandson
      of Fayette Herrick.
      Laurence W. Jewett, who has attained some eminence
      in modern methods of cattle-breeding, jointly with
      his wife, the former Miss Bernice P. McClure, former
      teacher in the Watertown School of Commerce, bought
      this house and farm Sept. 24, 1942, from Fred Gonseth.
      The house of native limestone fashioned in the Georgian
      cottage style was probably built 125 to 130 years ago,
      except for the frame wing with dormers, which is of
      modern construction. Not only is the house immaculately
      maintained in the best state of repair but it retains its
      ancient atmosphere. The farm is composed of a half
      dozen parcels, the largest of which was 110 acres.
      Mr. Gonseth purchased the bulk of it July 8, 1940,
      and the balance July 17, 1940, from the estate of Mrs.
      Mary Belle Emond Webert, who had died Oct. 25, 1938.
      Mrs. Webert inherited it from her father, the late John
      F. Emond, prominent Granger, Democrat and hay-presser,
      who one year pressed over 9,000 tons and shipped 900
      carloads of hay. He was a son of John B. Emond, another
      outstanding farmer of Le Ray who had acquired a part of
      this farm from Houghton Herrick and who was a son of
      Joseph Emond. The latter, born 1785 in France, served
      seven years under Nopoleon fighting in the Battle of
      Viltoria. Joseph settled in Le Ray in 1825. June 1, 1815,
      J. D. Le Ray sold 123.67 acres to Frederick and Fayette
      Herrick in this vicinity for $1,188.63. May 30, 1937, Frederick
      sold his interest to Fayette. Later parcels in the
      Laurence W. Jewett farm were possessed by Houghton
      and Francis Herrick and in the 1890's were transferred to
      John B. Emond and from his estate to John F. Emond.

      FIRE DESTROYS BARN AND HAY

      (Special To The Times)

      Calcium, April 9. - A barn, containing a quantity of hay and farming implements and belonging to Mrs. Marybelle Webert, was destroyed by fire at 11 a. m. today. The blaze started from a grass fire which had been set to clear some nearby land.
      A bucket brigade which was formed by villagers was unable to make any headway against the flames, as they gained considerable start before discovered. Fanned by a steady breeze the flames spread in the home of Edward Loadwick and a shed on the Loadwick property, both near the burning barn, but were extinguished before they caused any internal damage. Water buckets were put into play and the roofes drenched, thus preventing the destruction of these two buildings.
      A Ford touring car which had been in the Webert barn was taken safely out and was not damaged. The amount of hay destroyed was estimated at about three tons. There was no insurance on the property and the loss was estimated at about $400.

      THE JEWETT HOUSE ON ROAD TO EVANS MILLS

      Laurence W. Jewett, young Leray dairyman, owner
      and occupant, of this attractive old limestone house and
      its nearly 188 acres of land on the Watertown-Evans
      Mills state road near the intersection of the Sanford's
      Corners-Pamelia road, has the distinction of residing in
      the same neighborhood where two of his great-greatgrandfathers
      pioneered about 14 decades ago. In fact a
      portion of the farm upon which this house stands was
      bought by his gi'eat-great grandfather, Fayette Herrick,
      from James D. Le Ray de Chaumont 130 years ago and
      his great-great-grandfather, Capt. Ezekiel Jewett, coming
      with Hart and Isaiah Massey and Jonathan Cowan in the
      spring of 1800, was one of the very first settlers of what
      is now Jefferson county.
      Captain Ezekiel Jewett was a veteran of the American
      Revolution and having bought 1,200 acres of land
      from Roswell Woodruff May 31, 1819, Sanford's Corners
      became known as Jewett's Corners and Jewett's School
      House. From that time to this there has been a member
      of this Jewett family among the leading farmers of the
      area, which has also featured a member of the Herrick
      family in the same area, and this house shown above is
      but about two miles from where Captain Ezekiel Jewett
      lived.
      Laurence W. Jewett is a son of Mrs. Blanche E.
      Herrick Jewett and the late Preston E. Jewett, who died
      May 2, 1941, on the nearby homestead farm which had
      been in the Jewett family since 1835. Preston E. Jewett
      was a son of William M. Jewett, grandson of Thomas
      Jewett and great-grandson of Ezekiel Jewett. Mrs.
      Blanche E. Herrick Jewett was a daughter of George W.
      Herrick, who was a son of Houghton Herrick and grandson
      of Fayette Herrick.
      Laurence W. Jewett, who has attained some eminence
      in modern methods of cattle-breeding, jointly with
      his wife, the former Miss Bernice P. McClure, former
      teacher in the Watertown School of Commerce, bought
      this house and farm Sept. 24, 1942, from Fred Gonseth.
      The house of native limestone fashioned in the Georgian
      cottage style was probably built 125 to 130 years ago,
      except for the frame wing with dormers, which is of
      modern construction. Not only is the house immaculately
      maintained in the best state of repair but it retains its
      ancient atmosphere. The farm is composed of a half
      dozen parcels, the largest of which was 110 acres.
      Mr. Gonseth purchased the bulk of it July 8, 1940,
      and the balance July 17, 1940, from the estate of Mrs.
      Mary Belle Emond Webert, who had died Oct. 25, 1938.
      Mrs. Webert inherited it from her father, the late John
      F. Emond, prominent Granger, Democrat and hay-presser,
      who one year pressed over 9,000 tons and shipped 900
      carloads of hay. He was a son of John B. Emond, another
      outstanding farmer of Le Ray who had acquired a part of
      this farm from Houghton Herrick and who was a son of
      Joseph Emond. The latter, born 1785 in France, served
      seven years under Nopoleon fighting in the Battle of
      Viltoria. Joseph settled in Le Ray in 1825. June 1, 1815,
      J. D. Le Ray sold 123.67 acres to Frederick and Fayette
      Herrick in this vicinity for $1,188.63. May 30, 1937, Frederick
      sold his interest to Fayette. Later parcels in the
      Laurence W. Jewett farm were possessed by Houghton
      and Francis Herrick and in the 1890's were transferred to
      John B. Emond and from his estate to John F. Emond.

      JOSEPH EMOND HOUSE ON EVANS MILLS HIGHWAY

      In spite of the modern exterior appearance created
      by the comparatively new open and enclosed porches this
      native limestone house owned by T. Bernard Casey and
      wife, Marion Casey, is probably approximately 120 years
      old. It stands on the north side of the Watertown-Evans
      Mills state highway at the east corner of the Sanford's
      Corners-Pamelia road and is believed to have been built
      by Joseph Emond some time after the mid-summer of
      1828.
      Joseph Emond, born in France about 1785 served
      seven years under Napoleon including the peninsular campaign
      of 1813, in which was the battle of Vittorio. He
      came to the United States about 1828 and on August 25
      of that year contracted to buy an estimated 55 acres of
      land in the area where this house is. It is said that he
      immediately set about clearing off the forest and on July
      18, 1835, a deed of the tract was delivered to him by Moss
      Kent, Plattsburgh, from whom he purchased the property.
      He died Aug. 19, 1840, his widow, Marie Adelaide, and
      children surviving.
      A son, John B. Emond, who was born in France in
      1820, is said to have later taken over the farm and increased
      its acreage to a total of 300, becoming a successful
      farmer. His wife was the former Marietta Meeker, daughter
      of Mr. and Mrs. Barney Meeker, and their children
      were John F. and Louis N. Emond, both of whom lived to
      maturity and several years beyond.
      Educated in the common schools of the district John
      F. Emond worked on his father's farm until 1874 when
      he purchased 160 acres of it. To this he later added a
      couple of tracts and became one of the largest dealers and
      pressers of hay in the county. In 1872 he married Matilda
      Spohn and they had one daughter, Mary Belle Emond who
      was twice married: First in 1909 to Walter Lashaw who
      died in 1914; and, second to Anthony Webert in 1916,
      from whom she separated in a few years.
      Her father, John F. Emond, was one of the most
      successful farmers in the town of Leray. He was a
      staunch Democrat but for six years, 1898-1903 inclusive,
      was supervisor of his town. He died April 26, 1909, and on
      Dec. 9, 1912, his widow died. Their daughter, Mary Belle,
      inherited the stone house and farm. When she died Oct.
      25, 1938, the stone house, under the provisions of her will,
      went to the town of Leray to be used as a town library,
      there going with it a bequest of $500 for the purchase of
      books. However, July 5, 1940, the town board passed a
      resolution declining to accept the property on the ground
      that it was in open country too far from villages and
      would cost too much to maintain,
      Anthony Webert, her second husband, died April 30,
      1939, and on July 24, 1941, Walter Webert, Black River,
      his administrator and sole distributee conveyed the stone
      house and about two acres of land to Mr. Casey, the present
      owner, employe of the New York Air Brake company,
      who commutes daily to this city.

      pressers of hay in the county. In 1872 he married Matilda
      Spohn and they had one daughter, Mary Belle Emond who
      was twice married: First in 1909 to Walter Lashaw who
      died in 1914; and, second to Anthony Webert in 1916,
      from whom she separated in a few years.
      Her father, John F. Emond, was one of the most
      successful farmers in the town of Leray. He was a
      staunch Democrat but for six years, 1898-1903 inclusive,
      was supervisor of his town. He died April 26, 1909, and on
      Dec. 9, 1912, his widow died. Their daughter, Mary Belle,
      inherited the stone house and farm. When she died Oct.
      25, 1938, the stone house, under the provisions of her will,
      went to the town of Leray to be used as a town library,
      there going with it a bequest of $500 for the purchase of
      books. However, July 5, 1940, the town board passed a
      resolution declining to accept the property on the ground
      that it was in open country too far from villages and
      would cost too much to maintain,
      Anthony Webert, her second husband, died April 30,
      1939, and on July 24, 1941, Walter Webert, Black River,
      his administrator and sole distributee conveyed the stone
      house and about two acres of land to Mr. Casey, the present
      owner, employe of the New York Air Brake company,
      who commutes daily to this city.

      JOSEPH EMOND HOUSE ON EVANS MILLS HIGHWAY

      In spite of the modern exterior appearance created
      by the comparatively new open and enclosed porches this
      native limestone house owned by T. Bernard Casey and
      wife, Marion Casey, is probably approximately 120 years
      old. It stands on the north side of the Watertown-Evans
      Mills state highway at the east corner of the Sanford's
      Corners-Pamelia road and is believed to have been built
      by Joseph Emond some time after the mid-summer of
      1828.
      Joseph Emond, born in France about 1785 served
      seven years under Napoleon including the peninsular campaign
      of 1813, in which was the battle of Vittorio. He
      came to the United States about 1828 and on August 25
      of that year contracted to buy an estimated 55 acres of
      land in the area where this house is. It is said that he
      immediately set about clearing off the forest and on July
      18, 1835, a deed of the tract was delivered to him by Moss
      Kent, Plattsburgh, from whom he purchased the property.
      He died Aug. 19, 1840, his widow, Marie Adelaide, and
      children surviving.
      A son, John B. Emond, who was born in France in
      1820, is said to have later taken over the farm and increased
      its acreage to a total of 300, becoming a successful
      farmer. His wife was the former Marietta Meeker, daughter
      of Mr. and Mrs. Barney Meeker, and their children
      were John F. and Louis N. Emond, both of whom lived to
      maturity and several years beyond.
      Educated in the common schools of the district John
      F. Emond worked on his father's farm until 1874 when
      he purchased 160 acres of it. To this he later added a
      couple of tracts and became one of the largest dealers and
      pressers of hay in the county. In 1872 he married Matilda
      Spohn and they had one daughter, Mary Belle Emond who
      was twice married: First in 1909 to Walter Lashaw who
      died in 1914; and, second to Anthony Webert in 1916,
      from whom she separated in a few years.
      Her father, John F. Emond, was one of the most
      successful farmers in the town of Leray. He was a
      staunch Democrat but for six years, 1898-1903 inclusive,
      was supervisor of his town. He died April 26, 1909, and on
      Dec. 9, 1912, his widow died. Their daughter, Mary Belle,
      inherited the stone house and farm. When she died Oct.
      25, 1938, the stone house, under the provisions of her will,
      went to the town of Leray to be used as a town library,
      there going with it a bequest of $500 for the purchase of

      that it was in open country too far from villages and

      Anthony Webert, her second husband, died April 30,
      1939, and on July 24, 1941, Walter Webert, Black River,
      his administrator and sole distributee conveyed the stone
      house and about two acres of land to Mr. Casey, the present
      owner, employe of the New York Air Brake company,
      who commutes daily to this city.
