Individual:
AFTER THE DEATH OF WILLIAM, HELEN WENT TO LIVE WITH HER DAUGHTER JEAN. THERE SHE LIVE TO ONE HUNDRED THREE!
" ONE OF THE THINGS SHE DELIGHTED TO TELL WAS WHEN SHE FIRST CAME TO THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY SHE ATTENDED CHURCH IN CALEDONIA, WALKING THE ENTIRE DISTANCE THERE AND BACK. THERE WERE TWO SERMONS A DAY, ONE PREACHED IN ENGLISH AND THE OTHER IN
GAELIC, BECAUSE PART OF THE PEOPLE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH. IN THOSE DAYS THE SECTION WAS INFESTED WITH RATTLESNAKES, AND THE PEOPLE ON THERE WAY TO CHURCH CARRIED STICKS TO COMBAT THE REPTILES. THERE WERE NO ROADS BETWEEN LEROY AND MUMFORD, A DISTANCE OF EIGHT MILES, THERE BEING SIMPLY A PATH THROUGH THE WOODS. ......
IN 1812 THE FAMILY CAME TO GENESEE VALLEY, THE TRIP BEING MADE IN A SLEIGH AND TAKING THREE WEEKS. ONLY ONCE AFTER COMING TO THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY DID MRS. ROBERTSON RETURN TO HER NATIVE TOWN OF BROADALBIN, AND THEN MADE THE TRIP ON A
PACKET BOAT ON THE ERIE CANAL." THE ABOVE INFORMATION WAS TAKEN FROM A LOCAL NEWSPAPER ARTICLE CELEBRATING HER 103RD BIRTHDAY. ARTICLE FROM BONNIE HOWLETT AND PROVIDED BY JEAN HARMS.
