      OLD HOUSES OF THE NORTH COUNTRY - NO. 222

      ETIENNE EDUS HOUSE IN TOWN OF CAPE VINCENT

      Built approximately 94 years ago by Etienne Edus on
      the road known as Hell street near Rosiere in the town of
      Cape Vincent, this attractive cottage-type house of native
      limestone has such a beautiful setting with its natural
      landscaping of trees augmented by plantings of flowers,
      lilacs and shrubs that it looks in the summer like something
      which has stepped off an artist's canvas.
      Since February, 1939, the property with its nearly
      118 acres of land has been owned by Aloysius M. and
      Elizabeth D. Reff who take great pride in the place. They
      are the parents of three children, Miss Jane Marie Neff,
      a cadet nurse at the Queens General hospital, Jamaica, L.
      1. She trained at Mercy hospital in this city. The other
      two children are Noel Aloysius and Eulalia Ann.
      Both the Reff and Edus families trace their lineage
      back into old France, the Edus clan having come from
      historic Rosiere, American emigrants from which brought
      the name and bestowed it upon that area of the town of
      Cape Vincent known as Rosiere, home of many a fine old
      Rrench family. As for the Reff family there was Peter
      Rett, a native of France, who served under Napoleon,
