Ernest Edwin Van Buren

New Haven. Jan 3, Ernest Edwin Van Buren died in the Oswego Hospital December 28, 1921, after several weeks' illness. His remains were moved to his home at New Haven where funeral services were conducted Sunday, January 1, at 2 p.m., by the Rev H. B. Hawkins, minister of the First Congregational church of New Haven. Interment was made a the New Haven Cemetery.

The death of Mr. Van Buren removes from the town of New Haven one of the last direct descendants of a old and honored family, who, in the generations past, stood for the best of citizenship, integerity, and wealth; he was the son of Daniel B. and Louisa Grattan, the former a resident of New Haven, and large property owner, for fifty years, and who died May 10 1891, at the age of seventy.

Ernest E. Van Buren was born March 23, 1860; he was united in marriage March 1, 1892, to Olive H. Wheeler of Oswego; he served as under-sheriff with his brother John, at one time sheriff of Oswego county. At the experation of his term he entered into the drug business associated with Chris Vowinkel. At the time of his marriage he became one of the organizers of The Silver Metal Works of Oswego, which after two years was destoryed by fire. Soon after he took up residence on the family homestead farm, which he aquired by legacy and purchase, and where he maintained his rsidence up to the time of his death, and following the occupation of a farmer.

He is survived by his widow and the following children. Edward Albert, Harold Wheeler, Ruth Olive Bellinger, Daniel Ernest, Willis Cornelius, and Louisa May, all of who reside in the New Haven, except Mrs. Bellinger, whose home is in the city of Oswego.

Mr. Van Buren was a man of natural and keen business sense, and posessed certain superior attributes inherited from his ancestors. He was a good neighbor and upright citizen, whose presence will be missed and his los mourned by those who knew him intimately.
The widow and family will remain on the home farm.

John Gratton's Ledger Books - 1825
