The Conklin saw and grist mills and the mill house are gone, reclaimed by forest growth. All that remains is the beautiful Conklin Cascades or Falls. Destined to become a New York State park in 1929 and the second failed attempt by Onondaga County Parks in 1962, "the Beauty Spot of Central New York" remained in the hands of multi-party land ownership. This publication is documentation of the Conklin family millers, their businesses, homes, family members and neighbors of "Marionville", later Berwyn, and contains a multitude of rare photographs of this section of Onondaga County in New York.
A small sampling of Henry DeWolf's many years of Aerial Photography, created for a general sample of what could be produced from his negative collection.
Cardiff was born January 15, 1830. On that date the post office, established in Christian Hollow two years before, was officially named as requested by the Post Office Department. Roy takes us on a tour of the many buildings and homes of the hamlet of Cardiff, NY. Today, little of the hamlet exists.
From its opening in 1854 until the triumph of the automobile sixty years later the railroad was LaFayette's life-line. Nearly everything coming into or going out of the hamlet came by rail. Heavily laden wagons traversed the steep mile-long hill. Furniture or a new piano for the family parlor, vats of kerosene and non perishable goods for LaFayette's general stores and embalmed bodies ready for burial waited in the freight house. By the 1880's farm produce was being shipped in larger and larger quantities, requiring an extra siding for added freight cars. By the 1920's, in addition to its general store and coal shed, Onativia could boast of three feed stores. Seventeen years before the railroad discontinued passenger service, Onativia station closed. Now everything else is gone. This book contains 80 photos that were taken in 1909 and 1910 at the height of the post card era. Collected forty and fifty years ago by the compiler, these views preserve all that we have of Onativia.
This book contains a portion of the aerial photos taken of rural properties in Apulia, Fabius, LaFayette, Tully, NY.
