Excerpt from Rushford and Rushford PeopleThis book is a result of the Rushford Centennial which was held August 16-21, 1908. It has been written to keep in memory not only the names but the noble deeds and the bright sayings of those who helped to make the town what it was and is.The preparation of the material which appears here was begun February 1, 1908, and has been continued to the present time. Old letters, diaries, deeds, records of various kinds, and copies of the Republican Era, the News Letter and the Spectator have been used. The books which have been consulted are "75th Anniversary of the Baptist Church of Rushford, N.Y., " "Home Life in Colonial Days" by Alice Morse Earle, "Nathaniel Ely and his Descendants, " compiled by Heman Ely, "History of the Genesee Conference" by Conable, "Allegany County Directory" (1874-5), "History of Allegany County" (1879), "Allegany and its People" (1896), "Pioneer History" by Turner, and "History of Cattaraugus County." I must express my great obligation to my son, Allan H. Gilbert, for his assistance in copying the manuscripts and for his valuable criticisms, also to Miss Ellen Lyman for her aid in getting school matter ready for publication. In preparing the roster of soldiers I gladly acknowledge my indebtedness to Miss Mildred Hildreth, Philander D. Ellithorpe, John R. Heald and Abram J. Lyon. The list of pastors of the Free Methodist Church was furnished by the Rev. C. E. Pike, that of the Methodist Episcopal Church by Miss Ellen Gordon.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
