.Major accomplishments during the year lQ9O include the

formatirg of a;oortlandville Historical Society; the start of a
;project taping.the reminiscences of older town residents; and
making plans and allocating money for the improvement and upkeep
I
of the four ceiheteries under my supervision.
Perhaps the .number, one, project for the past year war,
winding up the'second, of the two years off celebration for the towns
sesouicentennial. T-He'committee planned and prepared a float to
depict "History Recorded" to enter in 'the Dairy pr:.rade in June.
A history book_, the first to be printed for the town, from the
formation of the town to the ,present time was completed and offered
to the public. : Plans were made to include the placing of a marker
on the grave of a Revolutionary !,Var veteran. This was not accomplished
but I wrote a news article concerning; the life of the vetora.n which
was printed in 'its entirity=I n the local newspaper. We hope to
get the marker installed in the spring. The committee voted itself
out of existence as of December 31,.1980.
So much interest was generated ieith the sesquicentennial
years that a Cortlandville. Historical Society has been.formed.
This organization is in the process of writing a constitution and
by-laws, becoming chartered and -not-for-profit°. I have accepted
the presidency for the first year to help with the organizing.

that gave various forms of Cortlandville history was shovm at
