| Newell Rowley 1-7.0053 | It is highly proper to name in this connection some of the men who have taken the lead in establishing large dairies in this town. Orsemus Hills, Newell Rowley, Henry H. Clark, Elisha Peck, and Marcus Winegar should be given among the number. These men have in years gone by kept from 75 to 200 cows each, and they have all been large land owners, having from 300 to 1,500 acres each. Orsemus Hills and Elisha Peck have some years since left their acres and their cows for other generations to manage; while H. H. Clark, Newell Rowley, and Marcus Winegar, in the midst of declining years, follow the farm and the dairy with an assiduity worthy of a younger manhood. Another element in conducting dairy matters has within a few years become an active part and parcel of Fabius. Reference is had to the Gallingers, who have crossed the Canadian borders for homes here. Eight or ten families of this name are now in Fabius, and mostly follow dairying. About five years ago a large creamery was erected in Fabius village by John S. Carter, of Syracuse. It is now owned by a stock company, the principal shareholders of which are H. H. Clark, Gallinger Brothers, E. H. Knapp, and Edmund Shea. |
