Marion LaVeck, reported missing in action, has returned to duty. The letter carried no details other than he was safe and well. Pvt. LaVeck was reported missing October 1 in Italy, and the letter stated he was back on duty December 6 apparently having been unaccounted for for more than two months. He entered Army service in June, 1943, and went overseas in November of that year.

He was an ammunition carrier at the time his last letter was received before he was reported missing. Newspaper Obituary - December 1947 (name of newspaper unknown) - Carpenter Killed When He Fell In Belfry of Church - Marion E. LaVeck, 37, of Pulaski, Loses Life While Repairing St. Stephen's Edifice: Ropes Rigged By Firemen to Lower Body to Choir Loft - Marion E. LaVeck, 37, of 60 Salina Street, Pulaski, a veteran of World War II, was almost instantly killed shortly after 8 o'clock Thursday morning when with other workmen he had climbed to the belfry of St. Stephen's Catholic church, Erie Street, prepatory to making repairs to the interior of the steeple. LaVeck lost his balance while standing on a beam and falling backwards, suffered a broken neck. LaVeck, a carpenter was employed by Angelo Castaldo building contractor of 124 Erie Street, who had been engaged by Rev. Charles Komierczyk, pastor of St. Stephen's church to make repairs to the belfry and other church property. Rex H. Runion of 58 Salina Street, Pulaski, also an employee of Castaldo was on the job with the contractor and his Pulaski neighbor. Deciding to begin the steeple job this morning, Castaldo, LaVeck and Runion, carrying some equipment, made their way up to the choir loft above the main entrance to the church. From this point they climbed an iron ladder, fastened to the side of the building a distance of about 30 feet, to a trap door which admitted them to the belfry. After the three men had reached the landing in which the door is located, they began to arrange two extension cords which they had brought along to aid them in the work. LaVeck who was standing on a 6x8 inch stringer by the side of the open passage-way, in some manner lost his balance and fell backward across the opening with his head and neck striking a section of the casing of the passage-way, which protruded upward. Castaldo, noticing that LaVeck was beginning to slump downward in the opening, grabbed his leg while Runion, only a few feet away, grabbed hold of LaVeck's shoulder. The two men lifted the injured workman to a secure position. Castaldo hurried down the ladder and out of the church. He ran to the church rectory across the street and summoned help. A physician was called, and the ambulance and Hook & Ladder truck of the fire department summoned. Unconscious, LaVeck was placed in an aluminum stretcher, a special piece of lifesaving apparatus which is carried on the fire truck. With the use of ropes, the stretcher holding the injured man was lowered from the belfry to the choir loft and then carried down to the church entrance. When this point was reached the physician, after an examination, pronounced the man dead. At the same time last rites were administered by Father Kazmierczyk who quickly reached the scene. Police Chief James A. Donovan, who went to the scene with Sgt. William F. O'Toole in a police prowl car, notified Assistant District Attorney Don H. Stacy of the accident. After Chief Donovan related the facts to Stacy, the latter released the body to the Dain funeral home. Later, acting on instructions from the District Attorney's office, Dr. Harvey S. Albertson, as coroner;s physician, conducted an autopsy. In a report to the District Attorney, Dr. Albertson said the Pulaski man suffered a fractured vertebra in his neck which caused a pinching of the main nerve system, producing death. Subsequently, a verdict of accidental death was issued by the District Attorney's office. Meantime, LaVeck's wife and relatives were advised of the tragedy and Mrs. LaVeck, with Rev. James M. Pawley, pastor of the Pulaski Methodist Church, made a quick motor trip to the city. Later in the morning, Franklin J. Taylor, Pulaski funeral director, was called and after the autopsy had been completed took charge of the body, removing it to his funeral home in that village. Mr. LaVeck, who had been employed by the Oswego concern only a short time, was a member of Syracuse Local 12, International Union of Carpenters and joiners. Born in Altmar on January 26, 1911, Mr. LaVeck was the son of Mrs. Nydia Barnes LaVeck and the late William LaVeck. He attended Altmar village school and was a graduate of Pulaski Academy. During World War II he served in the United States Infantry in the North African, Sicilian and Italian theatres. At one time while overseas, he was reported missing in action. He was discharged from service in January, 1946. He was a member of Robert Edwards Post 258, American Legion of Pulaski and Pulaski Methodist Church. Besides his wife, who is the former Miss Rhea Wilder of Pulaski and his mother, he is survived by four sons, David, 11; James, 10; Riley, 9 and Stephen, 4; also by a brother Allan LaVeck of Syracuse. | Laveck, Marion Edward (I35732)

| 14483 | Newspaper Article - Thursday, August 21,1884 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Oswego County Pioneers - Our Old Settlers in Convention - (excerpt) - I referred to the family of Russell Calkins, who was born in Vermont in 1798. Move to Montreal with his father at a very early age, he remained for two years. From thence they moved to Coburg, north side of the Lake, where they remained until the summer of the war of 1812. The inhabitants along the north shore of Lake Ontario were principally refugees from our Revolutionary war, and consequently were what were then called tories. There were some, however, who were favorable to the revolution. A short time before the war of 1812, and while differences were rising in the political horizon between Britain and the United States, a proclamation was issued by the Crown for all the people in Canada to take the oath of allegiance to the British Crown within 30 days or leave the realm. Salmon Calkins, father Russell, was a well-to-do man in Coburg. He had a farm of 160 acres at a nominal rent made under a perpetual lease, a span of horses, yoke of oxen, several cows, and other property appropriate to the farm. The Calkins, of which there were four families, Samuel, Seth, Salmon, Asahel, a younger brother and a brother-in-law by the name of Benedict, unwilling to take the oath of allegiance, but a small boat and built one to convey their effects to the states. Their personal property had become almost valueless by reason of the uncertainty whether war would be declared or not. Salmon sold one horse for $30 which would now be worth 300. He sold another good horse for a piece of cloth, a good yoke of cattle for 3 bbls. of flour; sheep with fleeces on at $1.50 each. Their flight was as it were from a burning building. Their most valuable effects which could be taken away were placed in the boats. Other articles of lesser value and minor importance, together with the farm, for which he could get nothing, were left behind. With an Indian for a pilot who said he had been at Oswego, they all, with such effects as they could carry, five families in all, got into the boats and started for their destined port, Oswego, in their frail and open boats, propelled in part by sails and part by oars. They started with their prospects but before night a violent storm arose and they were driven back to the Canada shore near the Bay of Quinte. There they first learned that war had been declared between the two governments. The following day they again started and as they came down by the islands, they saw a British vessel becalmed. They put all hands to the oars, women and all, and pulled for the American shore. A gun was fired across their bow for them to stop. They pulled on until three shots were fired. At that instant another vessel hove in sight from the American shore and which came down to their relief. It proved to be an American revenue cutter. The captain kindly offered to take them to their port. On their way, they stopped at Big Sandy, at Salmon River and at Mexico Point, where they found several vacant houses, the owners of them having not long before gone out on the lake and all been drowned. There they were invited to go up to one Roberts to help raise a barn. Help being scarce, they did so, and then continued on their journey. They went up the Oswego River and finally landed at Whitesboro, where they remained till 1815, when they all came to Richland and settled in the south part of the town. They bought in all 500 acres of land, which was subsequently divided among them, and the most innumerable hosts of Calkins in this town are their descendants. Russell remained with his father clearing up the farm until of age. He then hired out to Col. Rufus Price at $11 per month. Price then resided between here and Port Ontario, south side of the river on the farm where Isaac, his son, afterwards resided and Isaac Douglas now resides. Col. Price, who had been an officer in the Revolutionary war, had moved in the town in 1807. He was a well-to-do man and of much influence. His wife was a cousin of the father of General Grant. Our young Russell Calkins, while working for Col. Price, carried on a little conspiracy with the colonel's daughter which resulted in the capture and carrying away of the young lady, who is now before you, the mother of five boys and five girls, all living and healthy. She and her husband are the ancestors of some 78 descendants, living, and if she lives until tomorrow, August 16th, will have lived with her husband 66 years, their ages being respectively 86 and 84 years. Within the three years since your previous meeting at Pulaski, several of the old pioneers of the town who were present at that. August 4, 1893 ~ Russell Calkins, age 95 years, 6 months, 28 days, Farmer, born in Vermont, Resident of Richland Township about 70 years, Son of Solmon Calkins and Eunice Richardson, died in Richland Township of organic heart disease. Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, August 10, 1893 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - The death of the venerable Russell Calkins of Richland, this county, on the 4th inst., at the advanced age of 95 years, 6 months and 28 days, deserves more than a passing notice. Mr. Calkins was born in Vermont on January 6, 1798. His father's family moved to Canada soon after and they remained there until the War of 1812, when they came to the states, choosing this country in preference to taking the oath of allegiance to Great Brittan, which thing they were required to do. Five families put their goods in an open boat and after many hardships in crossing Lake Ontario, reached Oswego. They then went up the Oswego River, through Oneida Lake and on to Fort Stanwick (Rome, New York), then down to the Mohawk to Whitestown, where they located. After the war, young Calkins and a few others came on foot through the wilderness to Richland, taking each of them an ax with which to clear the forests. They bought 500 acres of land at $4 per acre near what is now Sand Hill, that was the year 1816. In 1818 the subject of this sketch was united in marriage to Miss Pamelia Price, daughter of Col. Rufus Price, formerly an officer in the Revolutionary Army. To that couple were born ten children, five sons and five daughters, all of whom are living today. What is remarkable, the first child was born in 1819, and then one in each alternate year, the oldest being 74 and the youngest 56 years old. The mother of these children died March 26, 1885, at the age of 87 years. The father, who has gone, has been a very active man and one prominent in town for a great number of years. During Norman Rowe's first term as sheriff from 1840 to 1844, we think Mr. Calkins held the office of deputy. Since Mrs. Calkins death, deceased has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Beeman of Richland, where he has had the tenderest care. During his last sickness his oldest daughter has been by his bedside and with her sister, Mrs. Beeman, have been solicitous for every want in the care of their dear father. The other children, as far as possible, have been kind and considerate in their attentions for the dear one. Deceased seemed fully prepared for the great change and passed away quietly, like a child going to sleep. Mr. Calkins was a member of the Old Settler's Association. | Calkins, Russell C. (I28823)

Newspaper Article - Wednesday, February 6, 1895 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - An Important Decision - Surrogate David has decided the contest over the codicil to the last will and testament of the late Joel Stewart, of this village, in favor of the contestants. The litigation in this proceeding has been pending for several months, and a large volume of evidence was taken. Mr. Stewart died in this village on the 2d of March, 1894, aged 90 years, having accumulated quite a large property. By his will, which was made in 1884, he gave to his three sons the farms where they resided in the eastern part of Richland, and the residue of his property to his wife and daughter, Ellen. By a codicil, which was made a few months prior to his decease, he gave the use of the farms only to his sons. The surrogate, by his decision, sets _ the codicil and _ to a limit _ probate, on the ground of _ _ and want on mental capacity. Thus the contestants become owners of the property as provided in the original will. F. E. Jones and N. B. Smith, Esq., were counsel for contestants, and B. E. Parkhurst and S. C. Huntington for the respondents. Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, March 7, 1894 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - In this village, March 2, 1894, Joel Stewart, aged 90 years. Mr. Stewart was born in Peterburgh, Rensselaer county, New York, and removed to this county with his parents when but a small boy. In 1830 he was married to Miss Betsey J. White and went to keeping house in a neighborhood then called Whitesboro, in the town of Sandy Creek. By careful industry he and his companion soon owned a comfortable house, but finding that his aged parents were not provided for he gave his home to them, starting again with new courage to gain a home for himself and family. Buying the two hundred acre farm on the Ridge road, he succeeded in paying for it and there lived for a number of years. From there he moved to what is known as the Meacham farm near this village, where he lived about nine years. Somewhat failing in health he moved to this village where he has since resided with this wife and only daughter, Miss Nila Stewart. He was of a disposition to never turn back from a work once commenced and it was this characteristic that helped much in making his life successful. From a youth he was a regular attendant at the M. E. church and an earnest worker for the cause of temperance. The funeral services were held at his late residence on North street on Monday. Revs. Bramley and Fletcher officiating. Interment in the Pulaski cemetery.

Funeral at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Price, at 3 o'clock today, Wednesday. Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, July 10, 1884 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Obituary - In this village, June 20, 1884, Mrs. Albert Philbrick, aged 74 years. The deceased has been a member of the Congregational Church in this village for 33 years, having joined it on profession of faith, October 1851. Faithful to all her duties as a wife and mother, she has lived to see the loved ones of home, once gathered at a mother's knee, and filling heart and home with joys of childhood's buoyant life, grow up to manhood and womanhood, and then going forth to build up homes of their own, leave hers to the silence of memory. She has lived to walk the lonely path of widowhood, having been suddenly deprived of the partner of her life, the father of her children. But in all these circumstances she has had the consolation of the conscious presence and companionship of Him who has said for the faith of every trusting soul, "lo I am with you always, even to the end of the world." That conscious companionship did not desert her in the last lonely days of her earthly pilgrimage, but soothed and sustained by an unfaltering trust, she has lain down for her final rest "like one who wraps the drapery of his couch around him and lies down to pleasant dreams." "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep." She leaves to those who mourn a mother's departure the memory of a worthy Christian life as a light to guide them up and on to their mother's peace and joy in the home of the ransomed and sanctified. | Nye, Eunice (I17518)

| 14496 | Newspaper Article - Thursday, February 14, 1884 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Sackets Harbor - The Old War Ship Falls - On Saturday morning last, while men were engaged in taking down the old ship, New Orleans, at Sackets Harbor, what was left of the structure split in two without warning, and one man was instantly killed and three others, including Mr. Sylvester Hemens, of Port Ontario, a brother of William Hemens, of this village, seriously injured. John Oats, the man who was killed, caught between two beams and a large spike was forced through his head and a large bolt through his back. The Watertown Times has the following account of the old vessel: The old ship, which for so many years has been the greatest objective interest on the American shore of Lake Ontario, thus fatally close as the last act in its history. The New Orleans was built in 1815 and was named after Gen. Jackson's victory over the British at the city of New Orleans, which was fought January 8, 1815, although peace had been declared December 24, 1814. But the peace commissioners had met in Ghent, Belgium, so that the news of the declaration did not reach Washington until in February, and it then took two weeks to forward it to Sackets. Meanwhile, the workmen who had begun work on the vessel about the first of January, kept on until the first of March, when the news of peace reached them and they were ordered to desist. They left the vessel with her main deck just completed, to be gazed by hundreds of visitors to the Harbor. The contract for building the New Orleans was let to Harry Eckford, of New York City, who had built several smaller ships for the government. She was 3,200 tons burthen, 187 feet length of keel and 40 feet depth of hold. She was pierced for 110 guns, but could have carried 120. Hough, in his history of the St. Lawrence River, says the New Orleans was intended as a sort of floating battery to be placed at the head of the St. Lawrence to keep the British fleet from entering the lake. As she was constructed entirely of green wood it was extremely improbable that she could have been navigated with any degree of success.

| 14498 | Newspaper Article - Thursday, February 16, 1888 Sandy Creek News - Sandy Creek, New York - Ridge Road - The funeral of Dr. George B. Carpenter was held Tuesday at the residence of his uncle, Mr. E. G. Stewart. Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, February 16, 1888 Sandy Creek News - Sandy Creek, New York - George B. Carpenter - Last Sunday night, the 12th instant, Dr. George B. Carpenter died at the residence of his uncle, Mr. Esek Stewart, on the Ridge road. For several weeks past it has been very evident to all that Dr. Carpenter was not likely to remain with us long. Still, we are sure that the news of his death must have caused a shock to many of those who knew him. Dr. Carpenter was a native of Sandy Creek and was the son of W. Eastman and Abbie (Stewart) Carpenter. He was born on the 9th of December, 1858, and so at the time of his death he was in his twenty ninth year. He was brought up in this neighborhood and was taught in our schools. He graduated from our High school in 1881, after which he was with Dr. Crockett for a while. He also taught in several places; among them, in Mannsville. In 1884 he entered the Medical college of the University of New York, from which he graduated in 1885. After that he began practice in his profession, having his office in Lacona. In a short time a great deal of business came to him, and it seemed as if he was likely to prosper. Then came his illness. For the last year he has been gradually failing. At one time his friends hoped that his life might be prolonged; but he himself did not share in their hopes. He knew early that his disease which was consumption, would carry him off sooner or later. For a while during last fall, he remained with his uncle near Pulaski; for the past few weeks he has been with Mr. Esek Stewart. His relatives and friends did what they could for him. They have the satisfaction of knowing that they ministered to his comfort to the best of their ability. Dr. Carpenter was a special favorite with those who knew him well. He was not an effusive man. He was somewhat reserved in his manner, naturally so; but with those with whom he was intimate he was a valued companion. His judgement was good and he was eminently conscientious of his actions. He had worked hard to acquire an education and to prepare himself for his chosen profession and had his life been spared we have no doubt that he would have succeeded. His very steadfastness and fidelity would have helped him in any community. His funeral took place Tuesday morning. Rev. J. K. Griffith conducted the services at Mr. Stewart's house and at the grave, the bearers being from his fellow student in our High school, Messrs, F. E. Smith, Udelie Bartlett, Fred Delong and Melvin Herriman. The large concourse present on the occasion may be regarded as evidence of the sincere regard in which Dr. Carpenter was held and of the sorrow which is generally felt because of his demise. | Carpenter, George B.
