Notes for FRANK GILLIS STURGE:
 Frank was born near Bethel in the Town of Hannibal in a house later owned by Glenn Blodgett.  Frank was a farmer by profession.  He was also once a brakeman on the railroad for about two years but had to give it up because of motion sickness.
 Frank was initiated into the Hannibal Masonic Lodge on November 17, 1880.  He was elected Junior Warden on December 24, 1881.
 On April 1, 1882, the Oswego Palladium printed this amusing account involving Frank and his brother, Charlie:
 "Last Saturday night a party of boys made their resound with tin horns and various other noisy instruments in the vicinity of the residence of Frank Sturge, about two miles south of this village (Hannibal).  It was considered to be a horning party celebrating Frank's marriage.  A neighbor Mr. George Miller, hearing the noise went to Frank's residence to find out who were the horning party.  As he approached the house the noise ceased and not discovering the party in front of the house he concluded they were at the back part of the house.  The night was very dark, and Miller, very cautious and still, passed from the front to the back of the house, but instead of meeting the horning party came in contact with a stick of stove wood which was hurled by Charlie Sturge, a brother of Frank and struck Miller in the face knocking out five or six of his teeth and prostrating him on the ground.  Miller soon recovered himself and made his way home with a bad looking face and concluded that the looking after of horners on a dark night was a very unprofitable job to one not interested."
 Frand died after an illness of several weeks at 12:30 AM Wednesday, Dec. 28, 1938, at his home in Hannibal.  Funeral services were at the home at 2 PM Friday Dec. 31, 1938.  Rev. F.W. McDermott and Rev. Wm. Woods officiated.

Cause of Death: Heart attack

Notes for JENNIE WISE:
 Jennie was the grand-daughter of an English Earl.  Her mother, Diana, was an English girl who married a coachman.  There were two children, Jennie and Joe Hewitt.  The father took to heavy drinking and the children were adopted, Jennie by Mr. & Mrs. Peter A. Wise and Joe by another family.
 Jennie was quite involved with the Hannibal M.E. Church and served at various times as President and Secretary of the Womens' Foreign Missionary Society.  She was also a talented singer.
 The following obituary was printed upon Jennie's death:

 "Many friends will be sorry to learn of the death of Mrs. Jennie Sturge, wife of Frank Sturge, which occurred at their family home in Hannibal on Friday, April 4th, after a long protracted sickness.
 She endured her suffering with patience and calmness.  She was 48 years old.  Jennie was born in Oneida County, and was legally adopted into the Wise family when she was only four years old.
 In speaking of her, one of the family said:  It is almost impossible for us to tell when she gave her heart to Christ, but, in her young and tender years, she was always an earnest worker and never so happy as when in prayer-meeting.  She was always ready to give testimony for the Master.  She has a sweet lovely influence over her playmates, and when but a small child would gather them around her and would have a prayer meeting.
 She united with the church when about twelve years of age (She actually was received into the Hannibal M.E. Church on March 22, 1880, along with her adopted father by Rev. J.C. Darling.).  As she grew in years she grew in grace and was ever ready to do her part.  When but a child she would visit the sick and ask if she could read to them out of the Bible.
 She was a member of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the M.E. Church, and for many years gave her best talents and faithful work.
 Cheerful in disposition, pure in thought, full of faith and hope; though gone she yet lives in the hearts of her co-workers.
 One of the heart-breaking features of our society, knit together in the communion of a high and common purpose is, that one by one we must drop form our roll call the precious names of members whom God has called home.  Our ranks are broken, and while we lament the loss, we think of her as in the blessed activity of the heavenly life.
 She leaves a husband and adopted son and many relatives and friends who will sympathize with him in his affliction.
 Funeral held on Friday at 2 p.m. from the M.E. Church, Rev. F. Maunder, officiating.  Burial at Bethel Cemetery."

Marriage Notes for FRANK STURGE and JENNIE WISE:
 Frank and Jennie were married by Rev. J.C. Darling.  Witnesses were Ezra B. and H.M. Tucker.
 When they were first married, Frank and Jennie lived on a farm later owned by Milton Westover in the Town of Hannibal, Oswego Co., NY.  Around 1894, they purchased the Isaiah Meeker home (later owned by Mr. & Mrs. Leonard Earl) on Auburn Street in the Village of Hannibal.

Notes for MARY DAVIS:
 Mary Davis came to the United States from England when she was 14 years old.  She married William H.

Notes for GORDON WHITNEY STURGE:
 Gordon was adopted by Frank and Jennie Sturge about the first of the year of 1901, when he was still an infant.  When Gordon was a child, the family resided in the Leonard Earl house on Auburn Street.  His childhood was spent growing up in Hannibal.  Gordon attended the Hannibal Village School and graduated from high school in 1918.  Shortly after his marriage to Dorris who was a local teacher, he decided to pursue a teaching career himself and attended Hannibal Teachers Training Class, graduating in June of 1925.  His first teaching job was in the rural schoolhouse of the Rhoades District No. 14 in the Town of Hannibal. 
 Gordon and his wife continued their education at Oswego Normal School and graduated in January 1928.  From February to June of that year, Gordon taught at the rural Ingalls Crossing school in Volney, east of Fulton.
 From September 1928 - June 1930, Gordon and Dorris took teaching jobs in a two-room schoolhouse in Oswego Center.  Gordon taught the upper room while Dorris taught the lower room.
 In 1930, he accepted a job in the Village of Hannibal teaching sixth grade.  He went on to teach in the Hannibal High School until 1943.
 He earned a B.S. degree in Social Studies in 1934, and a M.S. degree in Education from Syracuse University in January 1938.  Gordon was a member of the faculty at Cato-Meridian Central School from 1943 until his retirement in 1957.  He taught Social Studies and was Guidance Counselor.
 He was a member of Nu Chapter, Kappa Phi Kappa Educational Fraternity in Syracuse, was a member and former President of the Oswego County Teachers Association and was a member of the New York State Retired Teachers Association.  He was also a past President of the Hannibal Central School Alumni Association and in 1966, received the Distinguished Service Award from this group.
 Gordon was very active in civic affairs.  He served as Mayor of Hannibal in1949-51, and was Town and Village Historian from 1949 until his death.  Gordon served as a Boy Scout Committeeman for ten years and was also a past President of the Hannibal Sportsmen's Club.
 Gordon's involvement as a historian began in the 1930's when he decided to compile Hannibal history as a basis for his Masters thesis from Syracuse University.  He soon realized that the subject was too comprehensive for this purpose and chose to take the oral exam to earn his Masters Degree in 1938.
 For the next eleven years, he continued to research the history of Hannibal and in 1949, published the well-known book, "Hannibal's Historical Highlights", which traced the history of the town and village from the early years of settlement to present day.  The book was so well received by the community that Gordon was named Town and Village Historian in 1949, and was honored at a special testimonial dinner given by the Hannibal Civic Club on February 22, 1950.
 When the Village of Hannibal celebrated its one hundredth anniversary of incorporation in 1960, Gordon was chosen Co-Chairman of the Hannibal Centennial Program Committee along with Mayor Theodore C. Dann.  Gordon was also Chairman of the Centennial Book Committee which compiled a booklet in conjunction with that affair.  In addition, he organized a museum relating to Hannibal history in what is now the Hannibal Quick Mart.  At that time, Route 104 passed through the Village and several out of town people as well as the local residents viewed the exhibit.
 As part of the centennial celebration, a time capsule was buried in the center of the Village Square during a ceremony on August 20, 1960.  Gordon Sturge was also one of the speakers for this occasion.
 Gordon was a member of the Hannibal Masonic Lodge, having joined in 1928.  He published his second book, "Past Masters of Hannibal Lodge, No. 550 F&AM", in 1960.  Although he was asked to be Master, he declined because he felt he did not have the time to perform the duties of the position properly.  Nevertheless, in 1962, his fellow lodge members bestowed upon him the title of Honorary Past Master.
 Gordon was also a member and once Vice-President of the Oswego County Historical Society.  On November 19, 1963, he spoke before the group describing Hannibal's history.  Later that year, in the society's annual publication, he presented segments of "Hannibal's Historical Highlights" as well as his research on the Bullen family and their involvement in the Western Emigration Company.
 Gordon was a member of the Hannibal Methodist Church from his childhood days.  As an adult, he served as Church Historian and as a member of the Official Board.  When the church celebrated its centennial in 1964, Gordon compiled a booklet and set up a museum in the sanctuary relating to the history of the church.
 Always interested in local history, he researched the history of the local fire department.  When the Hannibal Fire Department dedicated their new firehouse on Oswego Street on March 7, 1964, Gordon was on of the featured speakers.
 The stained glass windows in the local churches caught his interest and he began to research the history of their origin and the families for whom the windows had been given in memory.  He published his findings in 1965, in the booklet, "Stained Glass Window History of Hannibal Churches".
 Although local history was his first love, he had other interests as well.  During the 1930's, he was often involved in amateur theatricals which were sponsored by the Masons and other organizations.  As a rule, he preferred playing comedy roles.  He also coached the Senior Class plays at the Hannibal High School for several years.
 Gordon enjoyed photography and liked to travel when he could.  He and Dorris visited California four times, once in the company of their friends, Karl and Flossie Kellogg.  The Kelloggs also accompanied them on a trip to Mexico City.  Gordon wrote a detailed account of their travels which was printed in The Community Newspapers of Red Creek .
 Gordon had a green thumb and always had a sizable garden.  He took particular pleasure in supplying his neighbors with the best vegetables.
 Gordon died unexpectedly  on December 13, 1972, after suffering an apparent heart attack while driving his car near Oswego.  The Hannibal Masonic Lodge conducted a memorial service on Friday evening, December 15, at the Jewell Funeral Home in Cato.  The following morning, funeral services were held in the Hannibal United Methodist Church with Rev. Orval McBride officiating.  Burial was in the Fairdale Cemetery.
 Gordon is remembered by residents of the community and his friends as a man who was always interested in people.  But his greatest legacy is the compilation of the history of Hannibal for future generations.

Notes for NANCY LILLIAN ROHLIN:
 Nancy and Nadine are twins.  Nadine was born normal, but Nancy was born deaf.  The family lived at 418 Euclid Ave., Syracuse, Onondaga Co., NY.
 Ever since she was old enough to play, Nancy was accepted completely by her playmates.  When the youngsters realized that Nancy couldn't hear, it was merely a matter of touching her to get her attention.
 One two-year old toddler soon learned he could reach up and tug her skirt when he wanted her notice.  There was hardly a child around who failed to learn the sign language of the deaf so they could teach Nancy their games - and mystify their parents.
 All the children looked after Nancy and kept her from possible danger.  Someone was always appointed to act as her ears to warn her of oncoming cars and etc.
 One summer evening during a game of hide'n seek, Nancy wandered off and couldn't be found at all.  All her friends and their parents were searching the neighborhood when the police called to say she was at the police station.
 A new neighbor, when asking where she lived, was unable to understand her sign language and called the police.  She was only five years old, but when the police tried to question her and failed, she wrote her name and address on a piece of paper.  It was a feat most of her playmates had yet to acquire.
 Ability to read lips came later, allowing her the pleasure of joining her friends at the neighborhood movie theater.  She also learned to appreciate music by feeling the generated vibrations when she she placed her hand on a played piano or phonograph.
 She attended the Central New York School for the Deaf in Rome, NY.  Always a bright girl who learned fast, Nancy was a member of the Literacy Society at the school serving as President and Secretary.  She excelled in sports and participated in all athletics in school.  During summer vacations, she did volunteer work for the Red Cross and Community Chest.
  Like Helen Keller, another victim of deafness, Nancy was taught to speak.  Therefore, when she graduated at the head of her class in June of 1960, she was able to deliver a valedictory address at her graduation.  She spoke of the patience of her teachers, memories of happiness and of disappointment and the sadness of leaving the place where she had spent so many years.
