Cardiff, Jan. 9th To the editor of the Syracuse Journal,
dated Jan 7th, a communication in regard to the death of Mr. James Rowe.
The writer, speaking of the old pioneers, states that "of all the
early settlers on the old State Road, between Pompey Hill and Skaneateles,
he was the only survivor for the last fifteen years." Now, the writer
could have not been correctly informed. On the road mentioned still resides
one of the old settlers, . . . George Northway was the first mechanic in
Cardiff. He manufactured wrought nails, and buildings sided and shingled
with nails made by him in Cardiff over 60 years ago, are still standing
and in use. . . .
