Woodruff, the oldest inhabitant of this place, were held from the church. Mr. Woodruff
was eighty-nine years of age, and for sixty years had been a resident here. He came from

     John H. Woodruff was born August 26, 1857. He was a son of Thomson and Electa
Woodruff of Daysville. He belonged to an old English family, his grandfather having
come from England in the early days of this country and settled in Connecticut. His
mother, Electra Nelson, was a native of Vermont, her father also having come from
Manchester, England and settled in the east. John's father came west and with two
brothers built a sawmill which was one of the first mills erected in this section of the
county, on Grindstone Creek. 
The old Woodruff homestead was about the first building erected after the sawmill began
to turn out lumber. Thomson helped to dig the Erie canal and it was over this route that he moved his family westward as far as Syracuse and thence by ox team to Daysville.
     John is survived by a widow by second marriage and four children, two sons, Earl and
Wilfred and two daughters, Mrs. Robert Edwards and Miss Estella Woodruff,  one sister, Mrs. Althea Soules and one brother, William T. Woodruff.

     Elias Manwaring was born in 1814, and died June 14, 1900. He was a son of Samuel
Manwaring and Eunice Adams, who came to this place when the country was a
wilderness. Their first neighbor were Walter Evarts and Joel Roberts. They then lived on
what was later known as the Ephriam Manwaring farm in the Ft. Leizer district, where the
subject of this sketch and his twin sister, Eliza, were born. Later they moved onto a farm
near the North church, built them a house, and for many years kept a tavern, as it was then
called. Elias was converted in a revival which broke out in haying time, under the labors
of Elder Bidwell in the Manwaring school house in 1840. He joined the Baptist society
and has lived a consistent Christian life.
     In 1841 he married to Amelia Jenne, and of their five children, three of them grew to
womanhood. He was twice married, his second wife being Mrs. Lucina Scott. She died
some years ago and in 1891, he came to live with his daughter, Mrs. Nelson Sherman. As
he grew feeble with old age the present did not interest him much as the past, but he could
always recall the things that occurred in his younger days and liked to tell of the early
settlers. He remembered when there were only three houses here besides their own. One
of these old land marks is yet standing, the Mrs. John Ripsom house, now owned by L. C.
Cole.
     His father died at age 90, his brother, Van Rensalear at 82, his sister, Louisa Soule at
87, his brother William and sister Betsey Loomis in middle life. His twin sister, Eliza
Loomis at 84 and he at 85. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Sherman and Mrs. H. A.

    Died Dec. 13, 1890 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Agustus Twitchell, Mrs. Sally
Brown, aged 96 years. Mrs. Brown's life reached so far back on history's page that her
memory must have held much that would interest us all. She was born in Whitestown,
Oneida county, Nov. 17, 1794 from which place her father, Benjamin Winch, moved to
Texas, Oswego county, about 1797; from there he moved to Pulaski in 1801. The Oswego
county history says of him: "To Benjamin Winch is inscribed the honor of being the first
white settler within the boundaries of the present thriving village of Pulaski. He erected
the first tavern on the site since occupied by the Palmer House. It was a log structure, but
many a pioneer was cheered by his fireside and venison." Speaking of her girlhood in the
then wilderness, Mrs. Brown said: "There was no bridge over the river, and my father
took travelers across in his boat. There was no road, only a foot path from Pulaski to the
lake. And I attended school at Rome, because there was none nearer."
     She was married in 1813 to Daniel Brown, and raised a family of nine children, of
whom five are still living: Mr. Edmund Brown and Mrs. Amorette Champney of this
town, Mr. Gustavus Brown of Traverse City, Mich., Mrs. Anna Eliza May of Pulaski and
Mrs. Pauline Twitchell, with whom she died. Mrs. Brown early espoused the cause of
Christ and must have been one of the first members of the M. E. Church in Pulaski, where
she retained her membership until removed to the church triumphant. She was smart and
active, retaining her faculties wonderfully for one of her age, and died suddenly, without
sickness or pain.

     After a short illness of about two weeks, Edmund Brown, one of the older and most
prominent farmers of this town, separated this life, on Saturday last, March 26, 1892,
aged 77 years.
     Mr. Brown was born in a log house locates near where A. Twitchell's house now
stands, on the lake road, and about two miles west of this village. He was the oldest child
of nine in his father's family. Of these, Gustavus Brown, of Traverse City, Mich.; Mrs. C.
D. May, Mrs. A. L. Twitchell, and Mrs. A. D. Champney, all of this town, survive him.
     Deceased was married in the year 1866 to Mrs. Candace Spaulding, a widow lady with
one son, Charles. Three children were the result of this happy union, Ansel W., Carrie C.,
and Edmund Jr., all of whom survive their father.
     During his early life, Mr. Brown and his brother, Ansel, now deceased, were
extensively engaged in the business of hauling seine along the shore of Lake Ontario. The
whitefish catch in those years was something enormous and the resulting profits were
correspondingly large. After a time whitefish practically disappeared from these shores,
and then the deceased turned his attention to farming. He was a large land owner at the
time of his death. We presume that deceased did not know himself just how much land he
did own, but it is quite certain that he held the deeds to fully, if not quite 1,500 acres. Mr.
Brown was quite well preserved for a man of his years. He was very pleasant in his
intercourse with his fellows, and upright and reliable in all his ways. He was one of those
men who will be missed not only in the circle in which he moved, but by our townspeople
generally. The funeral was held at his late residence, a very pretty home located less than
a mile from where he was born, on Tuesday, March 29 th, Rev. A. Bramley officiating.
