SON OF FIRST WHITE SETTLER
Sparta Man Celebrates His 91st
Birthday
Active and Vigorous Yet
Interesting Sketch of Hugh
McCartney, a Native of the Town of Sparta -
Was Formerly Supervisor, Also
Sheriff of Livingston Co.
Dansville, July 1 - Hugh McCARTNEY,
more familiarly known to our citizens as Squire McCARTNEY, reached his
ninety-first birthday yesterday and climbed nimbly upon the high seat of
Gregory KELLY's fruit wagon in the morning and rode downtown to celebrate
the anniversary of his birth.
Mr.
McCARTNEY was born in the town of Sparta, then Ontario county, but now a
part of Livingston county, June 30, 1813, and his entire life has been spent
here. Sparta then comprised the area which has since been divided into the
two towns of Sparta and West Sparta, and of this town he was the supervisor
when elected to the office of county sheriff in 1856. This office he held
for three years, and it was during his incumbency that Isaac L. WOOD was
convicted of the murder of his brother, David J. WOOD, and his brother's
wife.
The
hanging took place at Geneseo, July 9, 1858, and was conducted by Mr.
McCARTNEY in person, instead of by the deputy sheriff as was the custom.
Later he was justice of the peace in Dansville for eight years, and was
highway commissioner when the deep cut was made in the picturesque Poag's
Hole road, to do away with the need of a bridge above the
"narrows." For several years he conducted a dry goods store in the
block which stood where the store stands in now occupied by O'Meara &
Company, grocers.
During the
early days of the Genesee Valley canal Mr. McCARTNEY operated a large
flouring mill at Woodsville, and ran a private line of boats to carry his
flour to the New York market. Seven hundred barrels made a boatload and the
quickest round trip ever made took thirteen days, while the usual time was
from sixteen to eighteen days.
Mr.
McCARTNEY's father was William McCARTNEY, the first white settler in the
town of Sparta and the builder of the first frame house in that town. He was
born in Scotland and upon coming to this country located on the farm now
owned by William HARTMAN, and after his family outgrew the little frame
house he built the brick house which is now occupied by Mr. HARTMAN. This
was in the early days of the lifetime of the subject of this sketch.
Mr.
McCARTNEY's first wife was Nancy PORTER, and his second wife Margaret
WHIPPLE, of Nunda. He has four children living, Matthew PORTER, of this
village; Mrs. E. W. TINKHAM and George McCARTNEY, of Harrisville, R. I., and
Sheldon McCARTNEY, who resides in the state of Washington. For the past few
years Mr. McCARTNEY has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Gregory KELLY.

WHITE FAMILY REUNION
Pleasant Gathering at the Home of
O. C. Lapham in Macedon
Macedon, July 1 - On Thursday at
the farm homestead of O. C. LAPHAM, of Macedon, occurred the thirty-eighth
annual reunion of the WHITE family. One hundred and forty members were
present, among whom were two of the remaining three family heads, Rodney J.
WHITE and Elizabeth WHITE-BUCKLAND, both of Rochester. One brother, Joel C.
WHITE, of Union City, Mich., was absent. These two elder members, aged
respectively 75 and 71 years, took an active part in the festivities,
leading off as the honorary couple in the first numbers of the dancing
programme.
Among the
younger members present from a distance were Charles C., Lillian E. and
Louise WHITE, of Syracuse; Mr. and Mrs. Walter B. WHITE and son Arthur, of
Staples, Minn. An invitation to entertain the 1905 reunion was extended by
W. A. BROWNELL, Jr., of Fairport. By a unanimous vote this invitation was
accepted and will be so officially announced by the Executive Committee
later. The reunion's date will continue as before, the last Thursday in
June.

LAYING OUT MARINE FREE DELIVERY
ROUTE
Sodus, July 1 - Special Agent REESE
of the free delivery department of the postal system has arrived in town to
lay out a marine route in connection with the regular free mail delivery.
There are already five routes in this town, but only a few summer resort
people are reached. During the height of the season there are over 2,000
summer resort visitors about Sodus bay and this is the logical way to reach
them. The various islands, Point Charles, Lake Bluff, Sand Point and other
resorts, will be benefited by the service.
It is
probable that within a week an offer will be made to some of the owners of
naphta launches to take the contract of carrying the mail about the bay.
Postmaster George EMERY is assisting in laying out the routes.

NO EVIDENCE THAT WEAPON WAS LOADED
Howe Will Not be Tried at an
Adjourned Term of County Court
Mount Morris, July 1 - The jurors
who were to attend the adjourned term of County Court on Tuesday next, for
the purpose of trying Orson HOWE, indicted for assault in the second degree,
have been notified, at the direction of County Judge CARTER and upon the
recommendation of District-Attorney CONNOR, that their attendance will not
be necessary.
HOWE is a
son-in-law of Albert CASADY, of Mount Morris, and at the time of the trouble
in January last HOWE's wife was at her father's house, sick. HOWE came into
the house late at night, having with him a breech-loading gun, which, it is
alleged, he pointed at CASADY and threatened to shoot him unless CASADY gave
up HOWE's wife. HOWE was indicted for unlawfully assaulting CASADY with a
weapon likely to produce bodily harm.
District-Attorney CONNOR has not been able to procure evidence that the gun
used was loaded, and, under the provisions of the Criminal Code and the
decisions in this state, no conviction can he had without proof that the gun
was loaded.
The lack
of sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction, in view of the decisions,
led the District-Attorney to recommend that the jurors be notified not to
attend, in order to save the expense to the county.
