Pat sent a thank you note to Carl Taber for the pencil sketching of
the old Enfield Hotel. Also -gave -,him the address of the Lodi Historical Society,
invited him to the May 5th Historical meeting, and asked if the Lannings he
spoke to Jack Hubbell about were related to Scott.
Pat took a xerox copy of the pencil sketching -to work to show to
Sharon Brown who presently lives in the old hotel. Sharon's great -great-
grandfather was apparently the artist.
Announcement made that the only days you- can now do research
at DeWitt Historical Society are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. (Other
days by appointment.)
Denny spoke of the old "ice house." Property now owned by
Scof'ields. Jack Thall-used to use it a lot for his meat business. Pat- will ask
Carolyn Thall is she caMget some Thall/Enfield history from Lawrence Thall
who now lives in Elmira.
Helen Smith say_ s Mr Brumburg will be here for the May 5th
Historical Society Meeting.
Denny Newhart spoke of a reunion of those people who attended
the one and two -room schools in Enfield over the years. The idea started with
District 6. Helen said there was information on all the schools relative to their
whereabouts. Apparently there is a lot of interest.
Wilma Fisher has a. picture of a class at the Bostwick Corners
school. Jean (SanSoucie) Trenchard says she also has school pictures taken
from her grandparent's (Emmett and Blanche Tucker) collection. Mrs. Tucker
was a school teacher here.
it was suggested that a "starting" reunion be held this September
and build from there. Those people who already know about the proposed
reunion can meet and plan fora "big" reunion next year. It will be at Newhart's
Lodge. A questionnaire was suggested. Also a suggestion to honor those
teachers still living. (Warena Ramsey recently had her leg removed in Florida
shewas a teacher in Enfield for a long time.) Denny will put something together
and give it to Jack.
Pat spoke with Lanny Clark about the Boy Scouts in Enfield. His
dad, Harold Clark was a charter member and very active through the years.
Lanny, Pat, and Mel Schilling will get some of the membership books together
from different troops and a mailing will be done to some of the people and
hopefully they will add to the history. Lanny will ask his mother for any old
memorabilia of his dad's scouting days that she might have saved.
