Home My WebLink About2014 Jul-Sep-Community-Newsletter.pdf1 Enfield Community Currents News from and for the Community 2014 July—September Free In summer, the song sings itself. ~William Carlos Williams Put on a sweater, put shorts and tank top; put on sunscreen, open an umbrella! What a crazy summer - a few days of hot and humid, then rain so hard you’re looking for the ark, then so cold you have to close the windows at night! Please accept my apology for this newsletter coming so late - I got off to a late start in June, then gotten taken to the ground and sent to the hospital with acute vertigo, then when I’d barely recovered, a family member wound up in the hospital. I frankly don’t want to see the inside of a hospital for a good long time. In the last issue I went on and on about “kindergarten readiness and reading on grade level by third grade”. I ending up suggesting we, as a community, commit to reading at least ONE book this summer. That may not sound like much, but if you don’t read very much or even at all, that may be a big commitment. One of this things you can do with children this summer in support of that goal, and it’s free, is go to the Tompkins County Public Library. Check out some information about what’s fun for kids at the Library this summer on page six. Can you set a side a couple bucks each week from now until the Harvest Festival on October 4th? If so, you can help your own or a child you know pick out some books at the Scholastic Book Fair—just one of the many great things to enjoy at this annual community event! Recently a friend e-mailed me a link to a postcard for sale on Ebay—it was taken in front of the Enfield Grange, maybe in the 1950’s? Diane Aramini lamented that the owner didn't give it to the Grange, but it looks like the seller has no link to the community and just happened upon it. But, she did think maybe it was time for the Grange to hunt through their records for old photos. That made me wonder what hidden treasures their might be in other old photo collections—do you, or an older family member, have a boxful tucked away somewhere? Spend a rainy weekend afternoon looking through and labeling them, and perhaps offer anything that might have historical value to Sue Thompson, our Town Historian. - Debbie Teeter, Editor This newsletter sponsored by the Enfield Community Council (ECC) Cortney Bailey, President 279-4702 cbailey525@yahoo.com JoAnn Huddle, Vice President 227-7115 Deena Rambaum, Secretary 379-3420 deenarambaum@gmail.com Jennifer Hubbell, Treasurer Debbie Teeter, Newsletter Editor 277-4547 What’s Inside… From the Editor 1 Cinema in the Center 1 Enfield Harvest Festival 2 Enfield Summer Camp 3 Community Quilt 3 New Community Building 3 IYB Fall Sports 4 Town Historian 5 Pre-K 5 Farm City Day 5 Tompkins County Library 6 Enfield Valley Grange 6 Town Historian 6 For the Farm Community 7 Area Churches: 7 Agape Bible Church Enfield Baptist Fellowship Jacksonville United Methodist Living Water Christian Fellowship Enfield Connects 7 Enfield Food Pantry 7 Calendar of Events 8 Regularly Scheduled Meetings 8 —————————————— Omissions from this publication are not intended The next issue will be compiled in September for publication at the end of that month.

Drawing: October 4, 2014, 4:00 pm Enfield Elementary School Enfield Community Council Programs Could You Help Send an Enfield Youth to Camp? Over 60% of our campers come from local low-income families. We try not to turn away any child who wants to participate in our programs. We have gotten many more requests for help in paying for our summer camp this year so the Enfield Community Council is starting a scholarship fund to meet this need in our community. The 6-week camp season base fee is $325 per child. That’s $54.16 a week but for some families this cost is a budget stretch. Your donation of $325 will allow one camper to: · Participate in arts, science, sports, and craft activities. · Swim daily at Treman Park, opportunities for hiking, creek exploration, playground time · Go on many field trips that are scheduled: Taughannock Park, Greenwood Lake State Park, Watkins Glen swim pool, Sciencenter, Hangar Theater, bowling/mini-golf, Syracuse Zoo · Have a healthy breakfast, hot lunches and bag lunches for field trips · Make new friends, play outdoors, have fun and be safe The Enfield Community Council is a 501 C-3 not for profit organization - your donations are tax-deductible. Please make checks/money orders payable to Enfield Community Council, 168 Enfield Main Road, Suite 11, Ithaca, NY 14850. Please note “Camper Scholarship” in the memo line.

Rolfe Cemetery, by Sue Thompson, Enfield Town Historian Jonathan Rolfe (1773) came from South Amboy, N. J., in 1806, with his wife Susanna Ellison and four children, Reuben, Sally, Mary and Ephraim, and settled in Enfield on a farm located on Applegate Road. He created a cemetery near his home now called Rolfe Cemetery. The oldest recorded headstone in the cemetery is that of Ephraim Rolfe dated May 27, 1818. Within the many books in the Town Vault is the Rolfe Cemetery Treasurer’s Book and Rolfe Cemetery Secretary’s Book. The first date recorded in the treasurer’s book is July 18, 1873. By 1876 there was a recorded 154 burials in the cemetery. On June 10, 1876 the following residents met at the home of Ebenezer Haven to incorporate Rolfe Cemetery: Amos Lanning, James M. Lanning, Ebenezer Havens, Wesley Hulse, Leonard Murray, Squire B. Rolfe, Samuel Rolfe, Leroy H. VanKirk, Oscar Rolfe, L.B. Curry, Amos F. Curry, J.O. Carman. Amos Lanning was elected chairman and Amos Curry secretary. The trustees voted to meet annually the first Friday of June at 2 p.m. at the cemetery grounds. The trustees voted in were Ebenezer Havens, Samuel Rolfe, J.O. Carman, Simeon Rolfe, J.H. Theall, J.M. Lanning, A.F. Curry, Harrison Curry, and William Emley. In 1879 the trustees voted to build steps at the gates of the cemetery, one at the old and at the new and also set post for tying teams. According to a deed dated August 16, 1893 from Squire B. Rolfe, grandson to Jonathan (1773) the land approximately 1 ½ acres, was legally given to the association. There was no note in the Secretary’s book referring to this transaction. It was also noted in 1894 that all lots were sold for cash only. Lots sold for $12 and were 154 feet in length. Throughout the years money was spent on repairing the fence around the cemetery, keeping the grounds in repair, and procuring salt to kill briars and weeds. In 1897 the trustees voted to set trees in the yard along the road. The road fence was sold in 1899 to Arthur Curry for $6.25, as part of the purchase he had to remove the fence and clear the ground for the new fence. On August 26, 1903, approximately 2 acres were sold to the association by Charles M. Clinton. A fence of American wire, bought from Biggs and Company, three feet high with a strand of barb wire was purchased to be placed around the cemetery in 1904. It was recorded that hay was taken from the cemetery every year. In 1904, four ton of hay was sold for $31.32 one half going to the cemetery. A map of the Cemetery was drawn in 1912 by Lynn B. Curry. The map was only a part of the cemetery. A work bee was held June 20, 1914 on the grounds of the cemetery to make needed repairs. E.L. Willis was authorized to finish the tool house at the cemetery. June 2, 1933 a motion was made and carried that the use of the strip of land owned by the association be given to someone in exchange for cutting brush and cleaning up the cemetery. A Motion was passed that the extra lot belonging to the association be sold if possible, June 1, 1934. On June 7, 1940 it was brought up again that the land south of the cemetery be sold. At a special meeting of the association on November 4, 1943 a motion was made and carried to have the incorporation removed from the cemetery property. This was due to funds being insufficient to care for the cemetery. It was resolved to disincorporate the association so that the Town of Enfield could care for the cemetery. The last minutes recorded in the book were a meeting of the trustees June 2, 1944. The next page showed a statement that accounts were turned over to the Town of Enfield, S.H. Stevenson, supervisor, all cemetery books total of $635.78, this was not dated.
